Fall is just around the corner. Here are some movies and TV shows that we’re most looking forward to in the coming months.

  • His Three Daughters. This drama features estranged sisters reconnecting to take care of their dying father in their childhood home. Early reviews suggest actors Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olson do some of the best work of their careers. Read more.

  • Will & Harper. This documentary, directed by Josh Greenbaum (Barb and Star Go to Vista del Mar), was one of the most crowd-pleasing premieres at Sundance this year. It originated when, one day in 2021, writer Harper Steele approached her old SNL friend Will Ferrell to open up about her gender transition. Read more.

  • The Perfect Couple. Nicole Kidman plays the matriarch of an extremely wealthy Nantucket family, who becomes suspicious of her son’s fiancée. On the eve of the wedding, a body is discovered on the beach, and soon, all the family secrets buried by power, money, and NDAs start to bubble to the surface. Read more.

  • How to Die Alone. The comedy follows a disillusioned woman who has never been in love and is coasting through her days as a bored airport worker but, after a brush with death, decides to grab life by the collar and stop letting experiences pass her by. Read more.
