'Stranger Things'
Hopper lives! The first Stranger Things season four trailer is here, and while it doesn’t tell us much, we are overjoyed that our favorite lawman (and foster dad) is still alive, even if his head has been shaved and he’s stuck in some sort of prisoner work camp in frozen Russia. No word yet on how long we’ll have to wait to be reunited with the rest of the cast of this addictive ‘80s-themed sci-fi series. In the meantime, watch the bone-chilling trailer here.

'Dave'
Based on real-life rapper Lil Dicky’s life and career, this original FX comedy produced by Kevin Hart follows Dave (Dave Burd), a 20-something who believes himself to be the next big thing in rap. In the trailer, describing his brand, Dave says, “Imagine, like, what 2090 is like, but it’s being described by someone who’s from 1920.” Non-sensical though that may sound, this show looks hilarious. It comes to FX and Hulu in March. Watch the official trailer here.

'I Am Not Okay With This'

'The Plot Against America'
From the creator of The Wire and adapted from the novel of the same name by Philip Roth, this HBO drama asks the question: what would have happened if Nazi sympathizer Charles Lindbergh had been elected president? Though set in the 1940s, the events depicted therein are eerily similar to the rise of anti-Semitism and hateful rhetoric happening in our country today. John Turturro and Winona Ryder are just a couple of the talented actors in the cast. The series airs starting in March. Watch the latest trailer here.
