Turns out that it might not be time to say goodbye to AFC Richmond. Recent reports confirm that Ted Lasso stars Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein and Jeremy Swift have been approached to reprise their roles in the Emmy–winning soccer series, steering the show toward a Season 4 renewal. Although 2023’s Season 3 finale seemed to act as a conclusion, most of the cast expressed interest in continuing the story. There’s only one small holdup: Star and head writer Jason Sudeikis has yet to commit to a potential revival. “Whatever Jason feels like doing, and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it,” series cocreator Bill Lawrence told Collider. Don’t let us down, Ted!…

@TVGMMattRoush We started watching Tulsa King when CBS began airing the first season this summer, and we’re hooked! I know it streams on Paramount+, which we don’t have. Did it do well enough on CBS that they might eventually air Season 2 as well? —Ray G., San Bruno, CA MATT ROUSH: The show appears to have done OK by summer-TV standards, but this move was more about giving the series more exposure and possibly bringing new fans to the streamer. It’s too early to know whether CBS will repeat the experiment next summer, though you should keep in mind that shows like Tulsa King were initially developed to be streaming exclusives. With Paramount Television Studios shutting down, how will that affect Prime Video’s Reacher and other programs coming from that…

Rez Ball FRIDAY, SEPT. 27 In this warmhearted coming-of-age sports movie from Reservation Dogs cocreator Sterlin Harjo, the Chuska Warriors—a fictional New Mexico high school team of Native Americans—cope with a tragedy by playing a quick and aggressive type of basketball dubbed “rez ball.” “This is Friday Night Lights but from an Indigenous perspective,” says cowriter and director Sydney Freeland. LeBron James is a producer. Penelope TUESDAY, SEPT. 24 The producing team behind Wild Wild Country goes wild again with this young adult drama starring Megan Stott (above, Little Fires Everywhere) as Penelope, a 16-year-old who leaves modern cellphones and social media behind to answer the call of nature deep in the Pacific Northwest, where she strives to live off the land. The eight-part series also stars Krisha Fairchild, Austin…

THE PENGUIN THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 9/8C The Batman’s Colin Farrell (left) fat-suits up again for the origin story of Gotham City’s iconic villain—and it is a banger! Picking up after the disastrous events of director Matt Reeves’ 2022 epic (the Riddler flooded the city by blasting out the harbor seawall), HBO’s sequel series centers on Farrell’s Oz Cobb as the corpulent gangster tries to rise in power. Over eight gripping episodes—and under masterful prosthetics—the baddie finds himself in a game of cat-and-mouse with Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti), the merciless daughter of Oz’s late crime-lord employer. Farrell told the crowd at Comic-Con International that this is “something I was chomping at the bit to get back to.” —Damian Holbrook Gremlins: The Wild Batch THURSDAY, OCT. 3 Gremlin Gizmo (voiced by A.J.…

NETFLIX Available Now The Expendables (2010) The explosions, the stars, the biceps…everything is big in this action flick about mercenaries (Sylvester Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham and more) taking out a dictator. Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982) The iconic comedy about high schoolers growing up fast is best remembered for performances by Sean Penn, Phoebe Cates and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Field of Dreams (1989) In a magical drama starring Kevin Costner, a man builds a baseball diamond in his heavenly Iowa cornfield—seemingly for “Shoeless” Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta). Jaws (1975) Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss hunt the shark terrorizing a tourist town—and they’re gonna need a bigger boat. Magic Mike (2012) Can a movie about male strippers really be that good? In the hands of director Steven…

SET SAIL! Kudos for your Love Boat Easter egg in the Fall Preview issue [Doctor Odyssey, August 26] calling Doctor Odyssey “exciting and new.” I see what you did there. —Nancy NETWORK LOVE “Jeers to the streaming flood” in the Fall Preview issue [“Cheers & Jeers,” page 92] is on the mark. My satellite service is all I am going to pay for! In that same issue’s “Ask Matt,” Matt Roush noted that the Emmy Awards tend to ignore broadcast shows. Maybe the TV Academy should divide up the categories for broadcast and streamers. Too few broadcast shows are represented. —Marcia HONKY-TONK HITS I wish to thank NBC for the loveliest special I have seen in years. Toby Keith: American Icon [on August 28], a tribute to one of country music’s…

IT’S GOOD TO be the King. And Queen! Just ask Kevin James and Leah Remini. The stars of The King of Queens reigned supreme for nine seasons (1998–2007) as delivery man Doug Heffernan and his long-suffering, short-fused wife Carrie on CBS’s adored, top-rated sitcom. “People loved it,” says Remini, recalling how fans have stopped her with “tears in their eyes and say, ‘I never laughed so hard than I did with you.’” And they’re still laughing. Thanks to the magic of syndication, repeats and streaming, the Everybody Loves Raymond spinoff just entered its 27th consecutive year of airing somewhere on television when it joined Cozi TV’s primetime lineup September 9. Even more impressive is how James and Remini remain as close—and hilarious—as ever. The duo recently held court with us…

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS As the third young woman hired to play The Young and the Restless’ Sharon Collins in 1994, Sharon Case didn’t really know if her new gig would last. “Soaps tend to be a revolving door,” says the actress, who had previously appeared as Dawn Winthrop on General Hospital and Debbie Simon on As the World Turns. “I didn’t have super-high expectations.” Thirty years and a Daytime Emmy later, Case is marking a milestone anniversary in a role that continues to challenge her. “Sharon is a very interesting, complex character with her bipolar disorder that causes her to go on and off her meds and act a little bit odd sometimes,” she says. “No matter what happens, she’s getting through it. She’s very upbeat and ambitious.…

FBI OCT. 15, 8/7C, CBS Last season ended with Special Agent Tiffany Wallace (Katherine Renee Kane) completely spent after a harrowing struggle to track down and finally kill the terrorist who murdered fellow agent and friend Hobbs (Roshawn Franklin). She was so burned out that she quit the FBI’s New York office. As Season 7 begins, it turns out that kind of feeling is catching: Special Agent Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) is reconsidering her future as she’s struggling to raise Ella (Rose Decker), the young daughter of her late friend and colleague Jessica Blake (Charlotte Sullivan). “She loves Ella and feels fulfilled caring for her,” Peregrym explains, “but the demands of her job create conflict within her. Is she doing enough?” Showrunner Mike Weiss adds that she’ll have to balance…

LIBRA (Sept. 23–Oct. 22) You’ve been working so hard under the radar and behind the scenes. All you have to do is keep grinding. Breakthroughs tend to happen when you least expect it. Your efforts are worth it! SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21) Your romantic life looks quite exciting after a lull. Even though things may have felt hard or heavy for a while, a break in the weather is here. This isn’t to say the hard work is over. All you have to do is continue to see the good in everything, especially potential partners. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22–Dec. 21) Even if the world is pulling you in a variety of directions, it’s important to focus on your home life now. You’ve had your fair share of effort and toil in…

APARTMENT 7A FRIDAY, SEPT. 27 Cowriter-director Natalie Erika James describes this prequel to 1968’s creepy classic Rosemary’s Baby as “a bit of thriller, a bit of horror, a bit of musical theater.” It’s 1965, and Terry (Ozark’s Julia Garner) dreams of dancing her way to New York City stardom. When an injury shatters her plans, she’s taken in by wealthy couple Roman (Kevin McNally) and Minnie (Dianne Wiest, above right, with Garner), who live in the original’s luxury building. There, a fellow resident offers Terry another shot at fame, but sinister events make her question the price of her ambition. COLIN FROM ACCOUNTS THURSDAY, SEPT. 26 When the quirky Australian dramedy about a couple brought together by an injured dog returns, Gordon and Ashley (married cocreators Patrick Brammall and Harriet…

@damianholbrook Cheers to Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist’s knockout cast. Heavyweights Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle and Empire’s Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson light up Peacock’s account of a ’70s Muhammad Ali match that inspired both an epic heist and one of the most captivating series you’ll see this year. Cheers to Plex for bringing Knots Landing (with stars Donna Mills and William Devane, right) to streaming. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have plans for the next 340 hours or so. Cheers to Chimp Crazy for not monkeying around. Although it’s from a Tiger King director and packed with equally colorful characters, HBO’s docuseries about the fringe-dwelling folks who treat domesticated primates as family is an even stranger, suspenseful and ultimately sadder look at what…

Eviction Notice With the Olympics over, ratings for the reality series, hosted by Julie Chen-Moonves, shot up. The Thursday airing triumphed as the night’s top-rated show, becoming the week’s most watched nonsports series among viewers 18–49. Looking for Love The reality dating competition featuring Jenn Tran, the series’ first-ever Asian American Bachelorette, jumped 14 percent from the previous week. But it still wasn’t able to beat two reruns of NCIS that aired on Monday. Talent Is Tops After a two-week hiatus, AGT (with judges Simon Cowell and Heidi Klum) saw its Tuesday performances propel it to the week’s No. 1 series in total viewers. But Wednesday’s episode was the series’ least watched one ever. Lucky Lucky 13 Viewership for the new trivia game show, hosted by basketball Hall of Famer…

@TVGMMattRoush Only Murders in the Building Tuesdays, Hulu EVERYBODY WHO’S ANYBODY seems to want to play along with Only Murders in the Building, and who can blame them? If it’s good enough for Meryl Streep… One of the reasons this sensational mystery comedy is one of my personal returning favorites is the way it keeps reinventing itself season by season. Last year they took on Broadway, and in Season 4, Hollywood beckons. “I don’t need an algorithm to tell me that this is box-office gold,” gushes the studio executive (a hilariously energized Molly Shannon) who’s in charge of production, eager to turn our heroes’ true crime podcast into a film. The casting of the movie-star doubles, each playing a satirical version of themselves, is brilliant: Schitt’s Creek’s Eugene Levy hoping…

CHICAGO FIRE SEPT. 25, 9/8C, NBC Big changes come to the hottest Chicago drama as beloved Chief Boden (Eamonn Walker) exits 51 to become deputy commissioner. His replacement: Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney), who “shakes everything up,” says showrunner Andrea Newman. “Pascal is enigmatic; he wants to find out more about the firefighters, while they’re trying to find out more about him”—especially Lt. Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg), whom Boden deemed his heir apparent. “Fans will be surprised by who bonds with Pascal and who doesn’t,” Newman promises. There’s also “high drama” with firefighter Jack Damon (Michael Bradway), who revealed in last season’s finale that he was Lt. Kelly Severide’s (Taylor Kinney) younger half brother. The news flummoxes Severide and angers Damon’s boss, Severide’s wife, Lt. Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo).…

AGATHA ALL ALONG WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 18, 9/8C At the start of this Marvel spinoff, the centuries-old sorceress Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn, left) is still trapped in the distorted spell cast by Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch at the end of the 2021 series WandaVision. “The cruelty of that spell was not only did Agatha have her powers completely taken, but also her identity,” says Hahn. “That process of figuring out who she is is a struggle.” Thankfully, even magical amnesia can’t keep the witch down. Once the spell breaks, Agatha pulls together a coven to travel down the Witches’ Road. If they survive the mystical plane, they’ll all be given the objects of their desire. Among those joining Agatha are wannabe sorcerer Teen (Joe Locke), distracted clairvoyant Lilia (Patti LuPone), troubled…
