This week’s list of recommendations for the weekend is all about bringing you some much-needed laughs with the return of a popular dramedy series, a new romantic, and thrilling, black comedy and a not-so-wholesome coming-of-age story from one of the minds behind
The Office.

RunExecutive producers Vicky Jones and long-time collaborator,
Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, team up with HBO for their new black comedy thriller,
Run. Starring the always-graet Merritt Wever and Domhnall Gleeson,
Run centres on a suburban woman who walks away from her ordinary life to rekindle her relationship with her college boyfriend 17 years after the pair made a pact that if either one of them texts the word “RUN” and the other replies, they would drop everything and meet at Grand Central Station to run away together. Catch the series premiere of
Run on April 12 at 10:30pET with new episodes dropping every Sunday.
Good BoysPint-sized Canadian treasure Jacob Tremblay stars in the decidedly not kid-appropriate coming-of-age comedy
Good Boys. The show follows three sixth grade misfits on a series of misadventures as they scheme their way into a party hosted by their popular classmates. Starring alongside Tremblay is the hilarious duo of Keith L. Williams and Brady Noon, who both steal the show in their respective roles. The film represents the directorial debut of
The Office writer Gene Stupnitsky and is produced by the comedy dream team of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. You can stream
Good Boys on Crave today.[video_embed id='-1']RELATED: Natalie Portman & Jacob Tremblay tackle tough topics in Xavier Dolan’s drama[/video_embed]
