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.

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
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
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
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
