"Sorry for Your Loss" is a 10-episode, half-hour drama on Facebook Watch that stars Elizabeth Olsen as Leigh Shaw, a young widow struggling to put her life back together in the wake of her husband's unexpected death. The show is simultaneously devastating and uplifting, with grounded, flawed characters desperate to find humor anywhere they can. The series dives into grief as an unavoidable, universal, transformative part of life. Leigh’s journey will teach us that grief is not something merely to endure, medicate away or “muscle through,” but an essential part of the human experience.

Exploding into popular consciousness five years ago with a Dance Music pedigree and well-earned reputation for head-banging live performances, the Canadian duo DVBBS has rapidly evolved into one of dance music’s most innovative, globe-trotting, chart-topping acts. Comprised of Ontario-born brothers Alexandre and Christopher van den Hoef, the group broke into the major leagues with the smash single “Tsunami.” Chris and Alex structure their new music around sunny melodies, catchy vocal tracks and even feel-good guitars, connecting the dots between trap beats, future house and electro. DVBBS joined BUILD to discuss their new single, "IDWK."

"Atypical" is a coming of age story that follows Sam (Keir Gilchrist), an 18-year-old on the autistic spectrum as he searches for love and independence. While Sam is on his funny and emotional journey of self-discovery, the rest of his family must grapple with change in their own lives as they all struggle with the central theme: what does it really mean to be normal? Jennifer Jason Leigh stars as his mother, Elsa, who is on her own journey of self-discovery. Michael Rapaport who plays his father, Doug, joined BUILD to talk about the new season of the series.

"Sierra Burgess Is a Loser" is a modern rom-com retelling of the Cyrano de Bergerac story set in high school. The story centers on Sierra (Shannon Purser), an intelligent teen who does not fall into the shallow definition of high school pretty but, in a case of mistaken identity that results in unexpected romance, must team with the popular girl (Kristine Froseth) in order to win her crush (Noah Centineo).

Since emerging in 1997, the Grammy Award-nominated multiplatinum Plain White T's has amassed an enduring, engaging and enigmatic catalog, spanning two gold-certified offerings and unshakable anthems. But the Chicago quintet certainly found what might be an alternate reality on their eighth full-length offering and return to Fearless Records, "Parallel Universe." Of course, the band’s endlessly hummable signature melodies still shine at the center of this galaxy, but their Universe morphed into an otherworldly atmosphere of ethereal electronic pop strengthened by lush guitar tones and synth transmissions.

The spirit of 3 countries, 2 languages and at least 20 new friends can be felt on "Wut Wut"—the second full-length from Dillon Francis and first for his IDGAFOS independent label. The platinum-selling DJ and producer, actor and all-around nice guy embraced his first musical love with open arms, stirring up Latin, moombahton, dance, hip-hop, and pop influences into a cohesive body of work. The Los Angeles-born and raised multi-hyphenate lept forward and fused a signature hybrid by harking back to a pivotal moment in his career.
