Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend

The outrageous comedic universe of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt gets the Netflix choose-your-own-adventure treatment, first seen in Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. This special picks up after the show’s final season, with Kimmy’s wedding to a mystery man played by Daniel Radcliffe and more evil plans from the incarcerated Reverend (Jon Hamm). The difference is that this time, viewers will be able to make the big decisions in Kimmy’s life and follow multiple storylines. Expect more hilarious mole-women flashbacks, deranged optimism from Kimmy and yet another Titus Andromedon banger. May 12

Space Force

Showrunner Greg Daniels is a master of the workplace comedy, with a resumé that includes both The Office and Parks and Rec. His latest comedy series follows the creation of the namesake sixth branch of the U.S. Armed Forces—a real-life military service enacted by Trump in December 2019. And the best part is that it marks the reunion of Daniels and Michael Scott: Steve Carell stars as General Mark R. Naird, along with John Malkovich, Ben Schwartz and Jane Lynch as his not-so-helpful colleagues in the show. May 29

Hollywood

Ryan Murphy, the wizard of catty, campy television dramas like American Horror Story, American Crime Story and Feud, turns his attention to Hollywood’s golden age in this limited series. The packed ensemble cast includes Jim Parsons, Darren Criss, Holland Taylor, Patti LuPone and Queen Latifah. And the drama series follows a group of actors and filmmakers in the 1940s as they attempt (sometimes in vain) to capture the attention of Hollywood producers and audiences. May 1

The Eddy

Netflix is cashing in on the gauzy musical romance of La La Land with a new musical drama series from the film’s writer-director Damien Chazelle. It’s about Elliot Udo (played by Moonlight dreamboat André Holland), a serious American musician running a run-down contemporary Parisian music club with a dwindling audience and a few debtors. The series is an international production and will feature dialogue switching between Arabic, English and French. May 8

The Half of It

There’s no better distraction from a global pandemic than the chirpy, upbeat notes of a high school romcom. In this twist on the Cyrano story, Ellie Chu, a shy straight-A student, crafts ghostwritten letters for a jock who wants to profess his love for the class beauty, Aster. The only catch? Ellie ends up falling for Aster, too. Ah, the sweet nightmare of high school romance. May 1
