Summer movie season is upon us, which means a whole bunch of new trailers are here too. There’s a wide range of films on the horizon, from Yorgos Lanthimos’ new feature Poor Things, the Rachel Sennott and Ayo Ebediri-starring comedy Bottoms, and Exped4able, which is simply a fun way to spell Expendables 4.

On the TV side, Ahsoka and The Summer I Turned Pretty debuted new teasers, while we got our best look yet at the second season of The Afterparty. Check out the rest of the trailers here.

If you didn’t pick it up from the teaser, the new trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things makes one thing clear: Bella (Emma Stone) is weird. She’s a weirdo. She doesn’t fit in. But she is “progressing at an accelerated pace,” according to her creator-father Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe), and getting more human-like all the time. Stone’s comedic abilities are certainly coming in handy to portray Bella’s stunted physicality and her childlike hunger for all the world has to offer—offset by a stellar cast that includes Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, and Jerrod Carmichael. The movie hits theaters September 8. [Mary Kate Carr]
