THE ARK
SyFy
Writer-producer Dean Devlin loves science fiction, as proven by his hits like Independence Day and The Librarians, so no surprise that he’s back with The Ark, a space-travel series about a ship on a mission to save the Earth’s population. When a catastrophe happens, the remaining crew must band together to make it to their new planet. We just hope it goes better than the shipwreck in the recent brilliant movie Triangle of Sadness!
HELLO TOMORROW!
Apple TV+
Put Billy Crudup and Hank Azaria in a futuristic (yet oddly retro) series about guys selling timeshares on the lunar surface and add in our favorite TV cop (Michael Paul Chan, from The Closer and Major Crimes) and we’re ready to fire up Apple TV+ to watch. This is one wacky world that straddles old and new with a deft touch, as we discover just what the future may hold.
THE CONSULTANT
Prime Video
If dark satiric comedies are to your liking, then tune in to The Consultant to see Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz prove that he’s the sort of guy you don’t want as a boss. As a consultant who is given free rein to make employees improve performance, he’s just what the bosses wanted. The employees? Not so much. Nat Wolff and Brittany O’Grady costar in this slightly creepy black comedy.
NOT DEAD YET
ABC
Jane the Virgin breakout star Gina Rodriguez returns to network TV comedy in this new series focused on a down-and-out journalist who returns to the only beat she can get—writing obituaries. As she tries to right the wreckage of her very single life, she discovers that thinking about dead peoples’ lives all day is actually a way to get a little perspective on her own. Lauren Ash and Hannah Simone star alongside the always-fun-to-watch Rodriguez.
PARTY DOWN
Starz
If you’ve never seen the first two seasons of Party Down, you’re missing a lot. The first two seasons ran from 2009-2010 and starred Adam Scott, Lizzy Caplan, Jane Lynch, Ken Marino, Ryan Hansen and Martin Starr; 13 years later, they are all back for the reboot of this hilarious series all about a group of Hollywood transplants whose dreams of stardom haven’t gone so well. They all work as caterers while waiting for their big break, which hasn’t turned up in the years they were not on screen. We’re ready to binge the return just as soon as we can!
