The beginning of June 2020 was tumultuous, with issues of police brutality and racism resulting in widespread protests, not just in the United States, but around the globe. In solidarity with Black Lives Matter and the push for racial equality and higher accountability for the police, most of the trailers and promos for this week were delayed to keep the focus to ongoing social injustices. As a result, there were only a handful of new clips released for ongoing summer TV series and new video games.
Here are all the biggest trailers, teasers and promos released the first week of June 2020.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
After traveling back to the 1930s at the start of the seventh and final season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the eponymous ensemble of covert operatives continue to move forward in the timestream to defend their organization from the Chronicoms. A promo for the season's third episode sees the team travel to Area 51 where they encounter Peggy Carter's old partner and love interest Daniel Sousa, who is still apparently working with S.H.I.E.L.D.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s final season airs Wednesdays at 10 pm ET/PT on ABC. The series stars Ming-Na Wen, Chloe Bennet, Henry Simmons, Iain De Caestecker, Natalia Cordova-Buckley, Elizabeth Henstridge and Clark Gregg.
The 100
As its seventh and final season continues, The 100 begins to reveal more about the mysterious new faction that is challenging the characters. A promo for the fourth episode of the season shows this group de-cloaking themselves to meet with Clarke Griffin and inform her of her role in the last war facing humanity. Judging from the clip and the faction's abduction of several main characters, Clarke will not respond well to their ominous offer.
The 100 stars Eliza Taylor, Marie Avgeropoulos, Bob Morley, Lindsey Morgan, Richard Harmon, Tasya Teles and Shannon Kook. The series airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

Originally released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC this past October, the popular first-person shooter The Outer Worlds is now available for the Nintendo Switch. To herald the widely acclaimed video game's port to the Nintendo console, developer Obsidian Entertainment has released a launch trailer in the style of a corporately sponsored public service announcement that showcases the alternate future world of Halcyon, where players navigate rivalries between competing mega-corporations.

Stargirl continues to introduce a new generation of superheroes who will pick up the legacy of the Justice Society of America with a promo for the series' fourth episode focused on Wildcat. While Courtney Whitmore's high school classmate Yolanda Montez originally wants nothing to do with her, after inheriting Ted Grant's old costume, she discovers she is a natural at being the feline-inspired superhero.
