Today we have an entire roster of trailers for upcoming TV shows. First is a teaser trailer for the YouTube Red series "Impulse" executive-produced by Doug Liman ("The Bourne Identity", "Edge of Tomorrow") and based on the third novel in Steven Gould's "Jumper" series. Liman previosuly adapted the books into a not-particularly-successful film that starred Hayden Christensen and Samuel L. Jackson.

Netflix has released a trailer for the BBC-produced eight-episode drama "Troy: Fall of a City" and their first original Danish series, the post-apocalyptic drama "The Rain". AMC has released an official trailer for the third season of "Into the Badlands", while NatGeo offers a new trailer for the second season of the anthology series "Genius" that stars Antonio Banderas as Pablo Picasso. And finally, a teaser was released for Season 2 of Showtime's stand-up-comedy-themed series "I'm Dying Up Here".
