Thunder Force
In this popcorny sci-fi comedy, Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer play two awkward and slightly uncoordinated childhood best friends who are accidentally injected with experimental superhero abilities. Now able to turn invisible or flick a city bus into the horizon, their new powers are put to a real test when an evil supervillain starts terrorizing their city. April 9  
Concrete Cowboy

This father-son drama debuted at TIFF and is based on the Fletcher Street Riders, real-life, inner-city horsemen in Philadelphia. It follows a directionless 15-year-old, played by Stranger Things’s Caleb McLaughlin, who moves in with his estranged father, a cowboy hat-wearing and lasso-carrying urban horsekeeper played by Idris Elba, who teaches his son to ride and helps him find his purpose. April 2

 

Teen Spirit

Pitch Perfect meets a neon-lit Black Swan in this pop-song filled musical drama. It’s essentially a chance to sing karaoke—including songs by Robyn, Tegan and Sara, Ellie Goulding and Carly Rae Jepsen—with Elle Fanning. It follows a talented, young and ambitious Polish immigrant in the U.K. who enters a teen singing competition and is swept up by the burgeoning allure of success. April 12

 

Worn Stories

Based on the book of the same name by Emily Spivack, this new docuseries features a real-life collection of personal histories tied to pieces of clothing. Through the lens of a crossing guard, a former inmate, a widow, an astronaut and—just for good measure—a few naturists, it explores how the fabrics we wear can create, enhance and reorient our lives. April 1

The Mitchells vs. the Machines

This animated comedy follows an everyday family of four—and their adorable cock-eyed dog—on a cross-country road trip to drop off their daughter for her first day of university. Along the way, a big tech company kicks off a Terminator-style apocalypse with robots attempting to kill off humanity, and it’s up to the tech-savvy Mitchell children and their inept parents to try and save the world. April 4

 

This is a Robbery: The World’s Biggest Art Heist

On St. Patrick’s Day in 1990, two armed thieves dressed as police officers made away with 13 paintings—including works by Rembrandt, Degas, Manet and Vermeer—worth more than a half-billion dollars from a Boston museum. Thirty years later, the first season of this crime anthology series looks into this unsolved case that has connections to the Italian mob, the IRA and a series of murders. April 7
