A documentary dream team consisting of multiple Oscar and Emmy nominees and winners — including Alex Gibney, Roger Ross Williams and Liz Garbus — collaborated with the activist organization the Innocent Project for “The Innocence Files,” a nine-part docu-series meant to highlight examples of possible wrongful criminal convictions. Drawing on real cases, the filmmakers take a closer look at the way that dubious evidence, unreliable witnesses and overzealous prosecution can make injustice into a systemic social problem.

‘The Midnight Gospel’

The animator Pendleton Ward is best-known for creating the beloved fantasy cartoon “Adventure Time,” and is now following up his fan favorite with a much bawdier show, cocreated with Duncan Trussell. “The Midnight Gospel” follows a wannabe intergalactic and inter-dimensional social media influencer, who hops between worlds looking to get rich and famous by sharing some of the universe’s strangest stories. Judging by the images and footage released thus far, this new series seems likely to combine Ward’s fascination with the beautiful and the grotesque.

‘Middleditch & Schwartz’

Before Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz became popular comic character actors — appearing on raunchy cable TV shows like “Silicon Valley” and “House of Lies” — they cut their teeth in the improv scene, specializing in long-form sketches performed live with no script. They’ve lately been improvising as a duo, and three of their shows are being released on Netflix in what may become an ongoing series. According to Middleditch, each piece runs roughly an hour and features completely different characters and stories, made up on the spot in front of an audience.

‘The Willoughbys’

Based on a darkly humorous book by the popular children’s author Lois Lowry, the computer-animated feature “The Willoughbys” features the comedian Will Forte and the singer Alessia Cara, providing voices for the characters of a precocious brother and sister who’ve come up with a plan to rid their drippy parents from their lives. Maya Rudolph voices the kids’ nanny, who helps them learn to appreciate what they have, and Ricky Gervais narrates the story as the family’s cat who marvels at the Willoughbys’ weirdness.
