TV Trailers of the Week: The Madison, The Comeback: Season 3, Sunny Nights and More
📺 Take a peek at some of the latest trailers for upcoming TV shows.
📺 “The Madison” Trailer: Taylor Sheridan Trades Ranch Wars for Raw Family Grief in This Montana-Set Drama Led by Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell — Debuting Sat, March 14th on Paramount+
Now Taylor Sheridan has built a reputation for creating successful shows and movies about the rugged nature of broken families who usually speak through violent action rather than actual conversation. He has dabbled in neo-Westerns, crime thrillers, military dramas, and frontier-era melodramas, crafting stories where loyalty is currency, land is legacy, and silence says more than any monologue ever could.
Well, Sheridan seems to be flipping the script a bit this time, showing off a different shade of his storytelling instincts in his latest Paramount original series. Gone are the ruthless landgrabbers and vengeful ranchers settling scores with bullets and blood oaths. What remains, however, is a broken family grappling with grief and heartache, hoping the transcendent power of nature might offer some measure of solace. And dare we say, this might be something more intimate and emotional than anything we’ve seen from Sheridan before. But don’t worry, it’s still dealing with a family on the brink... and in Sheridan’s world, that usually means the wounds run deep, the grudges continue, and love is rarely expressed without a little damage attached.
Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell lead The Madison, Sheridan’s latest neo-Western drama that trades Manhattan’s skyline for Montana’s open sky. They play Stacy and Preston Clyburn, grieving parents who uproot their fractured family from New York City to the Madison River valley, hoping distance and quiet might soften the blow of a recent loss. But as anyone who has spent time in a Sheridan universe knows, wide landscapes don’t erase emotional wreckage... they amplify it.
Patrick J. Adams and Elle Chapman play the next generation trying to steady their own marriage in the wake of tragedy, while Matthew Fox steps in as Preston’s brother, adding another layer of tension to a family already stretched thin. The series leans into Sheridan’s familiar terrain, but this time the conflict is driven less by territorial warfare and more by grief, pride, and the uncomfortable struggle of rebuilding trust when everything stable has been shaken.
If Yellowstone was about legacy and power, this feels more like a portrait of a family trying to remember who they are against the picturesque Montana landscape where beauty and pain exist side by side.
Also starring Beau Garrett, Ben Schnetzer, Amiah Miller, Kevin Zegers, and Rebecca Spence, with Will Arnett as the family therapist Dr. Phil Yorn, The Madison is set to premiere Saturday, March 14th exclusively on Paramount+.
📺 “The Comeback: Season 3” Trailer: Lisa Kudrow’s Valerie Cherish Returns for One Last Attempt at Fame in the Third and Final Season — Premiering Sun, March 22nd on HBO Max
When Lisa Kudrow debuted the first season of The Comeback back in 2005, following her long stint on the wildly popular sitcom Friends, it didn’t quite live up to expectations at the time; despite ultimately becoming a cult hit beloved by a growing group of fiercely loyal fans who recognized its painfully sharp satire. But over the years, Kudrow’s character Valerie Cherish — a washed-up sitcom star desperately clawing her way back into the spotlight — has come to be recognized as one of the early pioneers of the burgeoning cringe-comedy era, where humiliation wasn’t just the punchline but the entire engine driving the joke.
Season 2 of the revival was finally given the greenlight in 2014, nearly a decade after the original season aired, proving that sometimes the real comeback takes a little longer than anyone expects. At the time, many fans assumed that was the end of the road, as creators Kudrow and Michael Patrick King (Sex and the City, 2 Broke Girls) made it clear they weren’t planning to produce any additional episodes, suggesting Valerie’s long, awkward climb back into relevance had finally reached its last, beautifully uncomfortable curtain call.
Well, never say never when it comes to Valerie Cherish. Because in Hollywood, to make a comeback is to risk everything all over again: your dignity, your delusions, and whatever shred of self-awareness you’ve managed to hang on to. Thankfully, Valerie has no self-awareness... nor the instinct to protect what little dignity she has left.
In this third and final season, Kudrow’s tragically optimistic sitcom actress is back at it again, finding new ways to chase the dream, even if it means walking straight into the kind of humiliation most people would sprint to avoid. Still remaining one of television’s sharpest self-portraits of the entertainment industry, framed through a faux-documentary lens, season one skewered network sitcom culture; season two dismantled prestige television; and now, with this final chapter, the satire sharpens its aim at an industry even more obsessed with image, reinvention, and relevance than ever before. And Valerie remains the perfect foil to show just how ridiculous Hollywood can be.
Co-starring Damian Young, Andrew Scott, Dan Bucatinsky, John Early, Abbi Jacobson, Tim Bagley, and Brittany O’Grady, the third and final season of The Comeback is set to premiere Sunday, March 22nd on HBO Max.
📺 “Sunny Nights” Trailer: Will Forte and D’Arcy Carden’s Spray Tan Dream Spirals Into Sydney’s Criminal Underworld in This New Aussie Comedy Series With Rachel House, Jessica De Gouw & Miritana Hughes — Streaming Wed, March 11th on Hulu and Disney+
Former Saturday Night Live star Will Forte and The Good Place breakout D’Arcy Carden finally get to collide their perfectly awkward comedic timing as they head Down Under to headline a new Australian comedy series about how big dreams can quickly morph into even bigger headaches; especially when a pair of overly confident Americans find themselves completely outmatched by cunning locals ready to take full advantage of their wide-eyed optimism.
In Sunny Nights, Forte and Carden star as American siblings Martin and Vicki Marvin, who relocate to Sydney with dreams of building a booming spray tan empire. Instead, their bronzed ambitions take a sharp detour when Martin is suddenly blackmailed by a pair of local operators (Jessica De Gouw and Miritana Hughes) tied to a criminal syndicate overseen by a ruthlessly controlled crime boss played by New Zealand powerhouse Rachel House (of Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Thor: Ragnarok). What starts as a slightly delusional small-business hustle quickly spirals into a desperate balancing act between keeping customers glowing and keeping themselves out of prison.
Created by Nick Keetch and Ty Freer, this Aussie crime comedy continues to prove that Australians have a wicked sense of humor; one sharp enough to lure a couple of top American funny talents straight into the sun-soaked madness and let them roast for a bit.
Sunny Nights is set to stream Thursday, March 11th on Hulu and Disney+.
📺 “Pride and Prejudice” Teaser: Emma Corrin Stars as Elizabeth Bennet Opposite Jack Lowden’s Mr. Darcy in Netflix’s New Six-Part Limited Series — Coming Soon
The Crown’s Emma Corrin steps into literary royalty as Elizabeth Bennet, perhaps one of fiction’s most enduring heroines. Opposite her, Slow Horses star Jack Lowden plays the reserved and quietly proud Mr. Darcy. With writer Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love) and director Euros Lyn (Heartstopper) at the helm, this six-part period drama revisits Jane Austen’s social battlefield with an emphasis on intimacy and emotional clarity. Rather than reinventing the story, the series will lean into the novel’s sharp observations about class, courtship, and the quiet force of personal conviction. Corrin’s fiercely independent Elizabeth unsettles Lowden’s guarded Darcy, while Rufus Sewell and Olivia Colman ground the Bennet household as Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. The adaptation aims to underscore how pride and misunderstanding quietly steer destiny, even within the rigid social order of Regency-era England.
📺 “Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole” Trailer: A Serial Killer Terrorizes Oslo as Tobias Santelmann and Joel Kinnaman Clash in This Dark Scandinavian Crime Thriller Series — Debuting Thurs, March 26th on Netflix
When it comes to dark detective thrillers, the Scandinavians might have cornered that specific subgenre market, and best-selling crime author Jo Nesbø (Headhunters, The Snowman) is one of the talents leading the charge. The Norwegian novelist is overseeing the first television series based on his bestselling novels, centered on brilliant but unraveling homicide detective Harry Hole. When a serial killer begins carving a path through Oslo, the only man capable of stopping him may be the one most likely to self-destruct. German-born Norwegian actor Tobias Santelmann (Kon-Tiki, The Last Kingdom) steps into the role of one of crime fiction’s most tormented detectives. Harry is pulled into a case that feels less like an investigation and more like psychological warfare. As the body count rises, suspicion shifts inward toward his corrupt colleague, Detective Tom Waaler, played by Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman (Suicide Squad, For All Mankind). What begins as a hunt for a monster slowly tightens into a duel between two men who know each other’s weaknesses all too well... and all too dangerously.
📺 “For All Mankind: Season 5” Trailer: Joel Kinnaman Returns as Mars Becomes a Battleground for Power and Independence in Apple’s Acclaimed Sci-Fi Series — Premiering Fri, March 27th on Apple TV+
Mars is no longer an outpost. It’s a colony with something to lose. Years after the Goldilocks asteroid heist, Happy Valley has evolved into a thriving settlement of thousands, serving as humanity’s launchpad deeper into the solar system. But as Earth’s governments move to impose law and authority on the Red Planet, resistance brews among residents who now consider Mars their true home. Joel Kinnaman leads the returning ensemble, caught between loyalty and survival as political pressure escalates toward open confrontation. Created by Ronald D. Moore, who serves as executive producer alongside showrunners Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, this sweeping space saga began as a bold reinvention of American history: an alternate vision where the Soviet Union won the space race, forcing the U.S. to accelerate its cosmic ambitions. Now it has evolved into full-fledged science fiction, where the future of humanity may hinge on who gets to define freedom on a new world... and who’s willing to fight for it.

With Monica’s fate uncertain and enemies multiplying, Kayce’s instincts push him toward decisive action in a system that demands restraint. Executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, this neo-Western procedural expands the battlefield beyond the ranch. This time, justice carries a federal seal, and there’s nowhere left to hide.
