The Idea of You (May 2)
This isn’t the first movie we’ve ever seen that originated as sweaty Wattpad fanfiction. Hell, it’s not even the first one to be based specifically on what seems to be Harry Styles fanfiction. But it is the first to star Anne Hathaway, as a mum who catches the lustful eye of a popular boyband member when she and her daughter check out his set at a Coachella-esque concert. Expect your most embarrassing romantic power fantasies to be fulfilled.
Outer Range: Season 2 (May 16)
An entrancing blend of Western grit and sci-fi surrealism, the first season of this Prime Video original hopefully captivated enough viewers to make this next chapter a must-see. Josh Brolin is hat-wearin’, ranch-runnin’ patriarch Royal Abbott, now slipping deeper and deeper into the mysterious void found in his back paddocks, like Carroll’s Alice but more beardy and badass. The suspense and mystery here do a lot of heavy-lifting—hopefully season two can bring those chickens home to roost.
