Netflix has released new trailers for two hotly-anticipated upcoming projects, including a second season of one of its better-received Marvel collaborations and a second swing at reviving the story of a wealthy family who lost everything and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together.

It’s “Arrested Development” season five, and Netflix revealed Monday it is less than a month away, premiering on May 29.

Netflix first brought the dormant mid-00s Fox sitcom about the deeply dysfunctional Bluth family back in 2013 with a fourth season that many viewers found underwhelming. Last Friday, on “the premature holiday the Bluth family know as Cinco de Cuatro,” Netflix and creator Mitch Hurwitz released a “remix” that weaves the season’s plot threads together in a fashion more akin to the original series’ disjointed storytelling.

The whole cast returns for the new season, including Jeffrey Tambor, who was fired from Amazon’s “Transparent” earlier this year over sexual harassment allegations. Tambor has denied those claims.

The trailer doles out a few story details about the Bluths’ “new new beginning,” largely revolving around a Family of the Year award the family is apparently giving itself, and indulges in several in-jokes fans may appreciate.

Monday also saw the release of a trailer for season two of “Marvel’s Luke Cage,” picking up after last year’s “Defenders” crossover series with Mike Colter returning as the bulletproof Harlem hero and Simone Missick as his now-cyber-armed ally Misty Knight. Rosario Dawson, Theo Rossi and Alfre Woodard also reprise their roles from the first season.

In addition to much punching, shooting, and intense dialogue, the trailer introduces a new villain, Bushmaster, played by Mustafa Shakir, who appears to be more than a match for Cage.

“Marvel’s Luke Cage” returns on June 22. See the full trailer here.
