What’s on this weekend: Coachella on YouTube, 'Trolls World Tour’ on-demand, more Krasinski 'Good News,’ Andrea Bocelli sings on Easter from Milan

The original Trolls did nearly $350 million worldwide, so of course there had to be a sequel. This time the melodic voices of Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, James Corden, Ron Funches, Kelly Clarkson, and Mary J. Blige show off a diverse musical pallete and try to stop rock and roll (Rachel Bloom and Ozzy Osbourne) from taking over the world. Yes, that sounds like animated LSD. A watch party with director Walt Dohrn will be held 1 p.m. Friday at WatchTrolls.com. (Rated PG, $19.99 for a 48-hour rental)

The coronavirus put a stop to this spring’s Coachella festival in Indio, Calif. — it’s been rescheduled for two weekends in October — and it also kept this movie, directed by Chris Perkel, from premiering in theaters. Instead, the documentary featuring Billie Eilish, Kanye West, Rage Against the Machine, Madonna, LCD Soundsystem, and yes, the 2Pac hologram, is streaming for free on YouTube, starting Friday.

The last fresh episode of Issa Rae’s comedy dropped in September 2018, and yet it’s as if no time has passed at all, as the fourth season finds a jobless, boyfriend-less — but not exactly celibate — Issa Dee (Rae) still pursuing her dream of throwing a huge block party.

What could be more appropriate now than this drama about a former police officer (Christopher Eccleston, The Leftovers) and his wife (Marsha Thomason) who turn their secluded guest house into a place where people can remain extremely distant from the villains trying to find them?

Harriet the Spy meets All the President’s Men in the 10-episode first season of this series about a 9-year-old reporter trying to solve a cold case in the town where her father (Jim Sturgess) grew up.

At 13, she still publishes the Orange Street News in Arizona, where her family subsequently moved. Her fictional namesake does her proud. (Apple TV+)
