Premieres Wednesday:
America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders — Season 2 follows the ladies of the squad that cheered on the Cowboys throughout the 2024 season — which just happened to be the first time in four years the team failed to make the playoffs. The lesson here is don’t ask AI how to spell “Be aggressive.” (Netflix)
The Buccaneers — Leighton Meester joins the cast of this 19th-century potboiler for Season 2, in a move that was announced last October. That was three months before Meester’s home was destroyed by the Palisades Fire, so who knows? The scripts might actually be good. (Apple TV+)
Rosario Tijeras (Mexico) — As Season 4 commences, Rosario’s daughter is wrestling with her legacy as the offspring of a notorious underworld figure. Which today means he was once caught shopping for a belt sander at Home Depot. (Netflix)
Somebody Feed Phil — Repeat guests Ray Romano and Brad Garrett join newcomer Donny Osmond for Season 8, in which Phil samples the culinary delicacies of locales like Amsterdam, Boston and Guatemala. In a heartwarming moment, a group of recent deportees learn to sing “Go Away Little Girl” through a mouthful of pepián. (Netflix)
We Were Liars — The YA novels of E. Lockhart get the series treatment, with latter-day Gossip Girl Emily Alyn Lind leading the cast of blue-blood teens who are forced to confront the consequences of a traumatic incident. I’m describing the plot and characters there, not whatever the actors might get up to in their downtime. Although that could be worth a look at TMZ in its own right. (Prime Video)
Yolanthe — In what’s becoming a genre all its own, this reality series tags along with Spanish-Dutch model and actress Yolanthe Cabau as she starts a new life as a single mom in Los Angeles. Eurotrash sensations and former trophy wives of athletes you’ve never heard of — they’re just like us! (Netflix)
Premieres Thursday:
The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso — A three-part docuseries attempts to finally solve the murder of an Argentinian wife and mother who was found strangled in her home in 2007. The ensuing media feeding frenzy led the public to point blame in all directions, including at the victim herself. The speculation was so intense that at one point, Scott Peterson got confused and confessed. (Netflix)
The Waterfront — Dawson’s Creek/Vampire Diaries mastermind Kevin Williamson launches a series set in coastal North Carolina, with Holt McCallany and Maria Bello as the heads of a family that will stop at nothing to save their embattled fishing business. If the ratings don’t exactly set the world on fire, watch for a Hail Mary cameo by fellow Netflix star SpongeBob as the one that got away. (Netflix)
Premieres Friday:
Grenfell: Uncovered — Survivors sift through the ashes of a tragic 2017 fire that left 72 Londoners dead. Was corruption to blame, or was it simple incompetence? Wild-card option: Paddington is a bit of a pyro. (Netflix)
Kpop Demon Hunters — Back in the day, every animated musical combo worth its salt had a side gig fighting crime and/or the supernatural. Inheriting the proud tradition of The Impossibles and Josie and the Pussycats is a trio of Korean chanteuses who fend off attacks from the underworld when they aren’t basking in the glories of Autotune. Gosh, now I’m wondering if BTS are doing more in the army than just guarding urban assault vehicles. (Netflix)
Now or Never: FC Montfermei — Now that there’s been a docuseries about every single professional soccer player on the face of the Earth, we have to turn to the amateurs — as in this bunch of French hopefuls who are training hard to make their indelible imprint on the sport. Is this what they mean when they say the French are great at fighting with their feet? (Max)
Olympo — The drive for Olympic greatness is the animating element in a Spanish drama series about a bunch of synchronized swimmers who make some risky moves to enhance their performance. But it’s hard to say what’s worse, the steroids or the mainlining of Esther Williams movies. (Netflix)
Semi-Soeter — In this sequel to the 2012 South African romcom Semi-Soet, a pair of married corporate go-getters have to pretend to be ideal parents to land a lucrative contract. I don’t want to spoil anything, but a disturbing amount of their effort consists of googling “Where is Casey Anthony now?”(Netflix)
Premieres Saturday:
The Great Indian Kapil Show — In addition to a new round of celebrity guests, the third season of the variety talk show boasts an expanded format in which members of the studio audience get to come on stage and demonstrate their performing skills. Sounds like India’s got talent — and nukes! (Netflix)
Premieres Tuesday:
Ironheart — The movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever introduced Riri Williams as the Black female Tony Stark, and now she’s getting a series vehicle of her own. Congratulate her on joining Kamala Khan, Jennifer Walters and Sam Wilson in the pantheon of Marvel characters who get pilloried on Twitter because … um, the writing is bad. I SWEAR TO GOD IT ISN’T ANYTHING ELSE! (Disney+)
Steph Tolev: Filth Queen — It’s the first Netflix special for raunchy comic and Bill Burr protégé Tolev — which my autocorrect just changed to “toilet,” because don’t ever let anyone tell you these things can’t think. (Netflix)
Trainwreck: Poop Cruise — Follow the 2013 debacle aboard the Carnival Triumph, which made the headlines when its voyage from Galveston to Cozumel was beset by technical nightmares that included raw sewage backing up onto the passenger decks. Here in Central Florida, the story is fondly remembered for its lack of the words “Disney” and “diarrhea.” (Netflix)
