On May 24, the new DC Universe series Doom Patrol will debut online.
This is a re-imagining of one of DC’s most beloved groups of outcast Super Heroes: Robotman (Brendan Fraser), Negative Man (Matt Bomer), Elasti-Girl (April Bowlby) and Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero) led by modern-day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder aka The Chief (Timothy Dalton). The Doom Patrol’s members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities – but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence – and to protect Earth from what they find.
Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. Picking up after the events of Titans, the show will find these reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same.
The cast includes Alan Tudyk and Joivan Wade.
Here is an extended trailer for Doom Patrol:

On May 17, the new streaming series Catch-22 will debut on Hulu.
Based on Joseph Heller’s seminal novel of the same name, the story of the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army, which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service.
Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty.
The cast includes Austin Stowell, George Clooney and Kyle Chandler [among others].
Here is a trailer for Catch-22:
