What's on TV this week—The Emmys and Gen V season 2

Welcome to What’s On, our weekly roundup of notable shows. Here is what’s happening on TV from Sunday, September 14 to Saturday, September 20. All times are Eastern.


The biggies

The Primetime Emmy Awards (CBS, Sunday, 8 p.m.)

Who will (and should) come out on top at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards? We recently answered that very question for the ceremony’s 15 big categories (although putting your money on The Studio is never a bad idea). The A.V. Club plans to cover the Nate Bargatze-hosted telecast, which also livestreams on Paramount+, throughout Sunday night.


Gen V (Prime Video, Wednesday, 12:01 a.m.)

Things are not looking particularly sunny in The Boys spin-off, considering Homelander’s (Antony Starr) reign is wreaking havoc on campus and God U’s new dean (played by Hamish Linklater) is determined to turn Supe students into soldiers, developments that force Marie (Jaz Sinclair) and her peers to fight back. The A.V. Club will recap the show each week.  


Also airing

Black Rabbit (Netflix, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)

Black Rabbit centers on two brothers (portrayed by Jude Law and Jason Bateman) who get in over their heads with criminals and hatch a plan to save their high-end Manhattan restaurant and lives. The cast also includes Cleopatra Coleman, Sope Dirisu, Troy Kotsur, and Amaka Okafur. The A.V. Club‘s review of the show publishes Thursday. 


Haunted Hotel (Netflix, Friday, 3:01 a.m.)

In this new animated series from Rick And Morty writer Matt Roller, a single mother struggles to run a creepy inn with the help of a few good ghosts. Will Forte, Eliza Coupe, Jimmi Simpson, and Skyler Gisondo make up the voice cast.
