Each week seems to bring with an awful lot of new trailers. With Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Prime Video and Disney Plus pumping out so much stuff alongside the traditional theatrical releases, there’s too much to keep up with and it’s easy to miss something you’d love to see.
To help you out, we’ve compiled the best and biggest trailers that have dropped this week and brought them all together.
This week, we’ve got a long-awaited first look at new Star Wars adventure, Obi-Wan Kenobi, a proper gander at the final chapter of Better Call Saul, a hilarious new Netflix original from comedy maestro Judd Apatow and a full trailer for Ben Affleck and Ana De Armas’ steamy new drama.
Let’s dive in…
Obi-Wan Kenobi
At long last! This week we got our first proper look at Obi-Wan Kenobi, Disney’s lavish new Star Wars series, which brings Ewan McGregor back to the role after almost 20 years away.
The series picks up a decade after the events depicted in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, with Obi-Wan trying to keep a quiet, solitary existence on Tatooine as he watches over a young Luke Skywalker. Sadly, and judging by the trailer, that’s not going to go to plan…
Joining McGregor in the cast are a returning Hayden Christensen, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Rupert Friend, Moses Ingram, Sung Kang, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma and O’Shea Jackson Jr.
For a comprehensive report on the trailer and what you can expect from Obi-Wan Kenobi when it drops, we’ve got you covered.

Bridgerton – Season 2
Netflix’s lavish drama returns in two weeks’ time and we got a proper trailer to take in.
If you’ve seen and enjoyed the first season of Bridgerton, you’ll be glad to see the show’s fizzy tone and high drama is still in constant supply.
The show’s first season largely followed Daphne Bridgerton, and the ups and downs of her courtship with Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, but for the second season the focus will be on Anthony and his search for love. Judging by the trailer, it’s going to be a complex search…

Better Call Saul – Season 6
The final curtain for Bob Odenkirk’s journey from Jimmy McGill, the by-the-book, diligent lawyer to morally-corrupt defense attorney Saul Goodman, is almost here. His last season in the Breaking Bad spin-off arrives next month, and, judging by the trailer, it looks like it’s going to be a hell of a ride.
For previous seasons, there’s been a lag between the show appearing in the US and Netflix in the rest of the world, this time it’ll come hot on the heels.
The show’s 13-episode climax will be split into two parts, with the first two entries arriving on Netflix on April 19. The first half’s next five episodes will arrive weekly after that, followed by a final run of six episodes beginning on July 12.
Release Date: April 18 (AMC), April 19 (Netflix)

The Bubble
Judd Apatow’ unites a seriously funny cast for a playful new comedy set amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
Starring Karen Gillan, Iris Apatow, Fred Armisen, Maria Bakalova, David Duchovny, Keegan-Michael Key, Leslie Mann, Kate McKinnon, Pedro Pascal and Peter Serafinowicz, the film follows a group of actors who travel to a closed film set in England to film the sixth installment of a very tired looking dinosaur-themed blockbuster franchise for Netflix.
Apatow directs and has co-written the script, which stars both his wife and daughter. That, no doubt, helped with the film’s Covid bubble.
And, if the plot wasn’t meta enough, there’s a teaser for Cliff Beasts 6, the film they’re trying to shoot in The Bubble, below for you…
