“This isn’t a vacation. It’s a quarantine,” Bethlehem Million (“Flatbush Misdemeanors”) reminds Gideon Adlon (“Blockers”) in a new trailer for “Sick.” The pandemic-themed horror pic is set in April 2020 and follows two friends (Million and Adlon) who decide to quarantine at a family lake house. “The only neighbor is miles away,” we’re told.

Penned by Katelyn Crabb and Kevin Williamson (“Scream”), “Sick” launches on Peacock January 13.

“Three is not balanced — there are always two or one,” we’re told in an exclusive trailer for “Petit Mal.” Written and directed by Ruth Caudeli, the Tribeca title focuses on three young women in a throuple. Anto (Ana María Otálora), Marti (Silvia Varón), and Lai (Caudeli) happily share a home, but the balance of their relationship is disrupted when Lai leaves for a work trip.
