Welcome to What’s On, our weekly roundup of notable shows and films. Here is what’s happening on TV from Sunday, November 16 to Saturday, November 22. All times are Eastern.
New this week
Landman season two (Paramount+, Sunday, 3 a.m.)
Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) is back for another season of Paramount+’s oil-slick drama Landman, juggling mounting pressures from M-Tex, Cami Miller (Demi Moore), his kin, and father (played by series newbie Sam Elliott). Look for The A.V. Club‘s recap of the season premiere on Sunday afternoon.
A Man On The Inside season two (Netflix, Thursday, 3 a.m.)
Charles Nieuwendyk trades retirement homes for college campuses in the second round of Mike Schur’s comedy, which stars Ted Danson as a retired professor who gets a new lease on life when he’s recruited to go undercover as a private investigator. The latest gig—tailing a mystery blackmailer who’s targeting the university president—brings forth a cast of academic suspects portrayed by Max Greenfield, David Strathairn, Michaela Conlin, Sam Huntington, and, yes, Mary Steenburgen. The A.V. Club’s review publishes Thursday.
The American Revolution (PBS, Sunday, 8 p.m.)
