Citadel — Matt Berry of What We Do in the Shadows is just one of six new cast members featured in the second season of this espionage series set within a mysterious spy agency. Then again, given that it’s been three years since Season 1, they could tell us Berry is replacing Dick York and we’d probably believe it. (Prime Video)

Countdown: Rousey vs. Carano — Go into the locker room with Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano as they prepare for their headline MMA bout next week. And when I say “go into the locker room,” of course I’m speaking metaphorically. I mean, who do you think you are — the president? (Netflix)

Worst Ex Ever Season 2 — Four new case studies expose more of history’s most horrific relationship fails, including one involving former 90 Day Fiancé contestant Geoffrey Paschel. See, Taylor Frankie Paul? This is the kind of immortality you could be enjoying right now if your agent stopped holding out for Svedka in the green room. (Netflix) 

Streaming Thursday, May 7:

The Chestnut Man — We might have some sort of a record here: There was a five-year gap between the first two seasons of this Danish crime thriller, which is finally back with a new story about a series of killings that are linked by a children’s rhyme. Good on them for keeping things going, because we all thought the series was over once they unmasked the first season’s villain as Dick Sargent. (Netflix)

Legends — The true history of Britain in the ’90s is the underpinning of a crime series about regular, everyday civilians who are conscripted to help infiltrate the country’s drug trade. Wow, sounds like we owe the Gallagher brothers a big-ass apology. (Netflix)

M.I.A. — We all know Florida’s film incentives are lousy, which makes it all the more cause for celebration that this crime series was actually produced on location in Miami. And as part of our state’s reintroduction to the national entertainment stage, the show rewrites the image of South Florida by painting it as … a bastion of drug activity. Oh well. Baby snorts. (Peacock)

My Dearest Assassin — A Thai assassin takes it upon himself to protect a Vietnamese woman whose rare blood type makes her an irresistible target for kidnappers. But can you blame them? If we could all get our hands on some of that stuff, anemia-related deaths might drop by 600 percent. (Netflix)

The Terror: Devil in Silver — The third season of the horror anthology series focuses on a moving man who’s wrongly consigned to a mental institution, where he has to battle a shadowy force that may be satanic in nature. Yeah, yeah. You know what’s really evil? How badly those guys can dent a credenza. (Shudder and AMC+)

Streaming Friday, May 8:

Remarkably Bright Creatures — Sally Field stars in an adaptation of the Shelby Van Pelt novel, playing a widowed aquarium worker who teams up with a giant octopus (voice of Alfred Molina) to solve a mystery. Makes you wonder what Guillermo del Toro could have done with Sloth World if those people had kept their head on straight. (Netflix) 

RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars Season 11 and All Stars Untucked Season 8 — With Orlando girl Myki Meeks freshly crowned the winner of Season 18, hometown interest in the Drag Race franchise is at a fever pitch. There are no locals returning to compete in the new season of All Stars, though, so we’ll just have to root for some of the lesser competitors from backwater burgs like New York and L.A. (Paramount+)

Thank You, Next — Season 3 finds Turkish lawyer Leyla determined to play the game of love by her own rules. See, I keep telling my therapist that’s what I’m doing too, but she’s adamant it’s not the same thing as refusing to leave your house. (Netflix)

Streaming Monday, May 11:

Pop Culture Jeopardy — Colin Jost returns to host this offshoot of the eternally popular game show, which focuses on the effluvia of modern-day celebrity and entertainment. Its second season sees the show moving over from Prime Video to Netflix, with a 20-episode order that’s only half of what it had in Season 1. Guess Michael Che couldn’t come up with enough answers about K-pop and raisins. (Netflix)

The Puzzle Room With David Kwong — Illusionist and crossword master Kwong has cooked up a bunch of brain-teasers for celebrities to solve in this video podcast. Remember, Lana Del Rey, it’s socks on first! (Netflix)

The Roast of Kevin Hart — Log in at 8 p.m. EST to see a panel of his peers rake Mr. Ride Along over the coals, live from L.A. This will easily be the most hilarious thing to happen to a Mark Twain Prize winner until next month, when Bill Maher picks up his own award. (I’m not expecting Bill to say anything funny; I’m just talking about the idea of him actually accepting.) (Netflix)

Streaming Tuesday, May 12:

Devil May Cry Season 2 — The animated adaptation of the Capcom videogame series raises the stakes in Season 2, with demon hunter Dante having to go up against his estranged twin brother. I mean, there are worse things. Ever have to spend eight 30-minute sessions with a brother you acknowledge? (Netflix)

Marty, Life Is Short — Two and a half years after Slate declared him painfully annoying, Martin Short is the subject of a documentary that covers his actually quite impressive résumé of professional and personal accomplishments. I hope they had time to incorporate an extensive segment about his daughter’s recent suicide, so the Slate editorial board has to spend the rest of the month disguising themselves as David Remnick just to go for groceries. (Netflix)

Zatima — The Tyler Perry comedy-drama moves from BET+ to Paramount+ for the back end of Season 4, with new episodes that depict the titular couple of Zac and Fatima experiencing fresh strains on their relationship. I mean, that’s in addition to the usual strain of everyone always asking how they’re related to Madea. (Paramount+)
