From The Willoughbys to Trying, See This Week's Trailers and Posters

This week, Hollywood gave us a little of everything: comedy, suspense, animation, and storytelling we can all relate to. 

In a time when many families have never been closer, we got to meet the incredible Willoughby children. Sure, they want to off their parents, but not without reason. Then there was Love Wedding Repeat, which will make your wackiest family wedding feel a bit more reasonable.

Of course, fans went wild for the return of Killing Eve. And speaking of crazy, the trailer for The Great offers a brilliant black comedy take on the rise of Catherine the Great.

Outerbanks took us on a treasure hunt, and those two minutes were the most excellent adventure I’ve been on in weeks. Then we got a little romance, which is always needed, with Normal People. And to wrap it up, we laughed all the way through the Trying trailer, while even basking in some heartwarming moments.

It was a fun week in entertainment. Here are some of the notable trailers and posters released this week.

The Willoughbys, Netflix’s new animated original, is a family adventure unlike any before. Based on the bestselling novel by Lois Lowry, the story follows a group of young siblings who send their neglectful parents on a deadly adventure, or so they hope. The trailer is colorful, humorous and filled with a message we can all relate to—family is what you make it. Check out the character poster as well, which does an excellent job of unpacking the plot in a one-sheet. Meet the Willoughbys on April 22.

The Great

The Great, a historical comedy set in 16th century Russia, which follows the rise of Catherine the Great, looks delightfully entertaining.
