Today’s trailer roundup includes Apple TV+’s Emancipation, Netflix’s Big Mouth Season 6 and Paramount+’s Blue’s Big City Adventure.
Will Smith stars in Emancipation, coming to Apple TV+ on Dec. 9 and in theaters on Dec. 2. Emancipation tells the triumphant story of Peter (Smith), a man who escapes from slavery, relying on his wits, unwavering faith and deep love for his family to evade cold-blooded hunters and the unforgiving swamps of Louisiana on his quest for freedom.
The film is inspired by the 1863 photos of “Whipped Peter,” taken during a Union Army medical examination, that first appeared in Harper’s Weekly. One image, known as “The Scourged Back,” which shows Peter’s bare back mutilated by a whipping delivered by his enslavers, ultimately contributed to growing public opposition to slavery.
Big Mouth returns on Oct. 28 on Netflix. Season 6 focuses on the theme of family as the beloved characters continue each of their journeys, discovering that while you can’t always pick your family, you can surround yourself with those that love you for who you are.
Guest stars include Adam Levine, Annaleigh Ashford, Amber Ruffin, Brian Tyree Henry, Chris O’Dowd (as Flanny O’Lympic from Human Resources), Cole Escola, Ed Helms, Ira Glass, Jeff Goldblum, Matt Rogers, Peter Capaldi, Steve-O and Tyler The Creator.
Blue’s Big City Adventure comes to Paramount+ on Nov. 18. The film follows Josh (Josh Dela Cruz), who gets the opportunity of a lifetime to audition for Rainbow Puppy’s (Brianna Bryan) Broadway musical, and Blue (Traci Paige Johnson) as they skidoo to New York City where they meet new friends and discover the magic of music, dance and following one’s dreams.
The entire Blue’s Clues crew is reunited for this special movie event, with the beloved animated friends and all three hosts, Josh, Steve (Steve Burns) and Joe (Donovan Patton), together for the first time in the Big Apple.
