Watch new trailers for The Nevers, Supergirl and Stowaway

The Nevers is HBO’s long-in-gestation period piece about a group of Victorian women granted supernatural abilities, and the stodgy forces of upper-crust British society trying to keep them down. HBO released a new trailer and finally revealed a release date for the premiere: Sunday, April 11. Watch below:

The Nevers comes from the mind of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly creator Joss Whedon, but he left the project shortly before he got cancelled for accusations of inappropriate behavior on set. HBO has hired British screenwriter British screenwriter Philippa Goslett to replace him as showrunner on The Nevers, so it looks like they want the show to continue, but they’re keeping Whedon’s name well off the marketing materials.

Still, that puts the cast members in something of an awkward position as they field questions about Whedon from the likes of Entertainment Weekly. Ann Skelly (Penance Adair), at least, sounds like she had a great experience working with him. “I found him to be a lovely boss and director, he was very open,” she said. “I felt he cared a lot for the actors and the crew. It was definitely one of my favorite on-set experiences for sure … Everyone would show up to work happy to be there, ready to go. That is a very contagious feeling. It was a very positive energy.”

Laura Donnelly, who plays lead character Amalia True, was also very supportive. “From my point of view, [Joss] always felt very supportive and protective of the artistic integrity and what we as actors needed in order to be able to do our job,” she said. “One of the great things was the way that trickled down. I’ve never worked on a show that has a cast and a crew that all seem to be so at the top of their game and who are all so lovely and I say that without a single exception.”

"I was certainly gutted [when he left the show]. I was going to miss him a lot — he was our captain. But at the same time, he left for personal reasons and you can’t argue with that. People have to look after themselves, they gotta look after their families, they gotta look after their mental well-being. These are all the conversations that we’re having at the moment and it’s really important that that happens. I wouldn’t want it to be any other way for him."

I think the show looks pretty fun. I’ll check it out.

Watch new trailers for the final season of Supergirl and the sci-fi movie Stowaway

As long as we’re talking about trailers, The CW dropped one for the sixth and final season of Supergirl. Check it out:

Supergirl returns for its final run on Tuesday, March 30, replacing freshman series Superman & Lois while it goes on a COVID-mandated break.

Finally, Netflix dropped a trailer for Stowaway, about a mission to Mars that goes pear-shaped partway through:

Marina (Toni Collette), Zoe (Anna Kendrick) and Kim (Hellboy’s Daniel Dae Kim) are manning this mission to Mars, and there’s little room for changes to the plan. A big change comes when Michael (Shamier Anderson), an engineer who passed out on the ship prior to launch, wakes up to find himself in space. Now he has to learn how to be an astronaut while the new, bigger crew try to figure out how to make an oxygen supply designed to keep alive three people can support four.

Stowaway lands on Netflix on April 22.
