Euphoria and The Righteous Gemstones make a comeback tonight
The two HBO series return after a long hiatus, and Dexter: New Blood comes to an end

Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, January 9. All times are Eastern.
Top picks
Euphoria (HBO, 9 p.m., season-two premiere): The last time we saw Rue (Zendaya) and Jules (Hunter Schafer) was in December 2020 and January 2021 for two holiday specials. The first season ended in 2019, and can be summed up by Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya in her finale recap: “Just like much of this series has felt like a bunch of adults asking, ‘Did you KNOW that Gen Z teens do SO MUCH WILD STUFF?,’ the finale often screams its themes. Being a teenager sucks. Love hurts. The theatrics and emotions of Euphoria are supersized. But the show simultaneously takes itself so seriously and sometimes gets lost in its own grandeur.” We’ll see what our new reviewer Michael-Michelle Pratt has to say about the season-two premiere.
The Righteous Gemstones (HBO, 10 p.m., season-two premiere): The evangelical Christian version of Succession is back after a two-year break. Jason Schwartzman, Eric Andre, and Eric Roberts are among the guest stars in season two. Two new episodes air back-to-back tonight, and Mike Vanderbilt will be recapping.
