What’s your favorite TV time of the year? Well, that’s kind of a trick question. We’re pretty sure it’s fall! I’m writing this editor’s note on the first day of summer, which means it’s the longest day of the year. The sun popped up at about 5:30am and will take its time across the sky, not setting till 8:30pm. But my mind is already looking forward to the days that are a little shorter, when the nights are much fuller with new television. This issue’s cover story is a revealing first look at new and returning shows—on broadcast, cable and streaming—that are premiering in autumn. In fact, for most of the summer, the TV GUIDE MAGAZINE staff will be preparing our famous Fall TV issues that make us an indispensable…

@TVGMMattRoush Only Murders in the Building Tuesdays, Hulu THEY’RE KILLING IT. Not literally, mind you. But if being slayed by laughter is your thing, Season 2 of mysterycomedy Only Murders in the Building delivers. Just watch Martin Short hog the tabloid spotlight when he and his truecrime podcasting buds (Steve Martin and Selena Gomez) become persons of interest in a bloody murder. “They were wrong: Oliver Putnam can get arrested in this town—and oh baby, does that feel wonderful!” Comic chemistry is a wonder to behold, and Murders displays it in abundance whenever Short’s has-been theater director mocks Martin as Charles, a sweetly befuddled former TV cop. “Oh, look at the wheels turn slowly. So slowly,” Oliver quips as Charles processes the latest plot twist. And there are many, as they…

HILARY SWANK, ALASKA DAILY (Oct. 6, 10/9c, ABC) The actress’ fearless, all-in approach has brought her two Oscars—and Swank’s trademark intensity serves her well as tough New York City reporter Eileen Fitzgerald, who quits her high-profile job after a scandal and hesitantly joins a struggling Anchorage newspaper. Her assignment: Investigate an Indigenous woman’s death that her editor (Scandal’s Jeff Perry) suspects is foul play and part of a pattern. Fitzgerald faces down corrupt police and suspicious locals as she seeks the truth—and redemption. —KH MARCIA GAY HARDEN, SO HELP ME TODD (Fall, CBS) Leading a broadcast series for the first time since CBS’s Code Black ended in 2018, this Oscar winner can soften the heart of even the most impenetrable character.

PICK OF THE WEEK! Better Call Saul Monday, July 11, 9/8c, AMC “IT’S ONE OF the most nail-biting hours of TV I’ve ever seen in my life,” cocreator and executive producer Peter Gould says of the Breaking Bad prequel’s return tonight. And if you recall the drama’s jaw-dropping May cliffhanger, it’s easy to imagine why. To recap: Shady lawyer Jimmy McGill, aka Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk, left), and his increasingly corrupt legal eagle wife, Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), had just triumphed in their scheme to discredit colleague Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian) and force him to settle a class-action case that would net them $2 million.

@TVGMMattRoush I thought the Lifetime movie Buried in Barstow was very good, but I was surprised at the unresolved ending when the screen read “To be continued” without any information on when and how. How can I watch the rest of the story? —Lil MATT ROUSH: That was meant to tease the fact that Barstow is intended to be the first in a projected series of TV movies. Lifetime hasn’t officially announced a timetable for the next chapter. But if the enthusiastic response in my mailbag is any indication, Lifetime and Angie Harmon could have a hit movie franchise on their hands. I found the reimagined Wonder Years to be emotionally honest, warm and funny. Why are they benching it until midseason, giving the wonderful Abbott Elementary the tired Goldbergs as…

@damianholbrook Cheers to Jensen Ackles for his jaw-dropping tour of duty on The Boys. As the radioactive Soldier Boy, the former Dean Winchester pulled off a wickedly entertaining transition from The CW’s Supernatural to a corrupt superhero on Prime Video’s acidic satire. Cheers to the Jedi mind trick that the latest Disney+ Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi pulled to finally silence all those Hayden Christensen (left) haters. Cheers to Netflix for having The Mole checked out by fans again. If ABC doesn’t decide to reboot its outstanding early-2000s espionage competition—especially the two celeb editions, which originally aired in 2003 and 2004 and arrived on Netflix in June—there’s got to be a saboteur on staff. Cheers to FX for keeping the lights on at What We Do in the Shadows. Ahead of…

Spider-Man: No Way Home 8/7c, Starz Movie Pick What’s a high schooler to do when he’s revealed to be a controversial web-slinging superhero? If you’re Peter Parker (Tom Holland, below, with Zendaya as love MJ) in this 2021 winner, you ask your magical old pal Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to make folks forget. But when Peter’s wish backfires, it opens portals and unearths a multiverse of familiar baddies (played by Jamie Foxx, Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina). It also, blissfully, unleashes cameos by previous film Spideys Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire. And that’s when No Way Home turns into a great cross-generational buddy flick. Today 7am, NBC Daytime Pick Get ready to feel good as hell when watching the morning show: Lizzo takes the stage (and it’s about damn time!)…

OF THE WEEK! The Captain SERIES PREMIERE Monday, July 18, 10/9c, ESPN SEARCH “DEREK JETER” on land on a clip of “The Dive,” the longtime New York Yankee shortstop’s spectacular play during a July 2004 home game vs. rival Boston Red Sox. After Jeter caught a foul ball on the run, momentum carried him until he freight-trained face-first into the stands. A moment later, he stood, dazed, gripped by fans, blood flowing from his cheek and chin, in an instant that crystallized his gutsy commitment to winning, to baseball and to the team he led to five World Series titles in 20 seasons from 1995 to 2014. “Nobody played harder, and nobody wanted to win more,” says Michael Tollin, an executive producer of The Captain, a stirring, triumphant seven-part docuseries…

Junior Johnson (Marcus Scribner, right) enrolls at his sister Zoey’s (Yara Shahidi) alma mater, Cal U. At 22, Junior’s real-world experience sets him apart from the typical freshman, Scribner says. “He knows what he wants—or so he thinks—and tries not to let [distractions] stop him from achieving his goals.” Still, the actor adds, “He realizes that to go to college he has to truly do college and, man, he gets up to some crazy stuff!” Newly single, Junior is “100 percent” ready to mingle. The large dating pool “leads to a much more laid-back, looser Junior,” Scribner hints. As for how Zoey, who moved to New York City post-graduation, remains…
