Every year, Netflix puts together a slate of new movies meant to get subscribers excited about what’s coming and convince those who aren’t yet signed up for the streamer that they need to be. While this year’s looking like it’ll be an interesting one for Netflix, a new teaser for all the platform’s upcoming features also makes it seem like the platform’s cooling off a bit in 2023. Here are some highlights:

While Fontaine (John Boyega), Yo-Yo (Teyonah Parris), and Slick Charles (Jamie Foxx) might not normally see eye to eye, the trio bands together to expose a massive government cover-up involving clones and put the public on alert as to what’s up.

In director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s Damsel, Millie Bobby Brown stars as a young damsel who’s mostly fine with the idea of being married off to a handsome prince right up until she realizes that the entire arrangement isn’t what it seems. While the young girl would be cool with marriage, when she realizes that the royal family actually means to sacrifice her to a dragon, she finds herself trapped in a cave and forced to use her wits if she wants to make it out alive. The movie also stars Angela Bassett, Robin Wright, Ray Winstone, Nick Robinson, Brooke Carter, and Shohreh Aghdashloo and premieres on October 13th.

The movie also stars Cecily Strong, Jason Alexander, Rob Schneider, Jo Koy, and Stephanie Hsu, and it premieres on November 22nd.
