Dead to Me is back for the third and final season this week, along with Jen (Christina Applegate) and Judy’s (Linda Cardellini) off-the-walls, enjoyable-as-hell chemistry. I’ll miss these two trading unintentional insults (all said with love!) as well as Jen’s stunning earth-toned, coastal home. As far as the plot, if you’re having trouble remembering what happened where we last left off in season two, you’re not alone. It’s been two and a half years since new episodes aired, so you can refresh your memory here.
Meanwhile, Kevin Costner is back with the fifth season of Yellowstone this week on the Paramount Network, and Adam Brody plays another character named Seth in Hulu’s Fleishman is in Trouble, which also stars Claire Danes, Jesse Eisenberg, and Lizzy Caplan. And then there’s another must-see episode of The White Lotus on HBO and HBO Max.
On the holiday front, more Lifetime and Hallmark movies roll out this week, including a Sweet Magnolias reunion with fan favorites Brooke Elliott and Brandon Quinn. See below for more details, while Rita Moreno also stars in a Christmas movie directed by Melissa Joan Hart.
If you’re still catching up on season five of The Crown (and I hope you are, because each episode is its own work of art that deserves to be savored), then check out our interview with Imelda Staunton and Jonathan Pryce about the mannerisms they adapted to play the Queen and Prince Philip that you probably didn’t catch.
With that, I’ll see you back here next week for the American Music Awards, the finale of Bachelor in Paradise, and Netflix’s Wednesday, which puts Wednesday Addams front and center in a fun goth, supernatural fantasy series.

The White Lotus (HBO/HBO Max): Titled “Bull Elephants,” the third episode in season two goes something like this: “After promising to have a more positive attitude, Harper (Aubrey Plaza) gets looped into a side excursion with Daphne (Meghann Fahy)–leaving Ethan (Will Sharpe) and Cameron (Theo James) behind for some bro time. On her own for two days, Tanya (Jennifer Coolidge) seeks advice from a local tarot reader and summons Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) back from sightseeing with the Di Grassos. Later, Albie (Adam DiMarco) questions whether his father truly respects women.” 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT
