The Umbrella Academy
After seventeen years apart, a family of superhumans called The Umbrella Academy reunite for their father’s funeral only to find out they must come together again to save the world. They must overcome a lifetime of resentment and secrets and learn to work together before it is too late.
Anne with an E

Reign
“Reign” is a historical drama that is loosely based on the life of Mary Queen of Scots. The show follows Mary as she leaves the convent for France to prepare for her arranged marriage to Prince Francis.
