What's on TV this week—The Boys and Bridgerton return
Plus, Jake Gyllenhaal stars in a new legal drama, Hannah Einbinder's special drops, and more
Welcome to What’s On, our weekly picks of must-watch shows. Here’s what you need to watch from Sunday, June 9 to Thursday, June 13. All times are Eastern. [Note: The weekend edition of What’s On drops on Fridays.]
The biggies
The Boys (Prime Video, Thursday, 12:01 a.m.)
Alright, mates, The Boys are back, as Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) would say. The superhero satire’s fourth season builds on the aftermath of Homelander (Antony Starr) going public with his racist, misogynistic, evil personality. No longer needing to pretend he’s basically Superman, Homie sets up new members of the Seven who are happy to be bootlickers. Meanwhile, Billy only has a few months to live, so he’ll stop at nothing to destroy Vought with the help of his motley crew. The A.V. Club will recap the show, which premieres with three episodes on June 13.
Bridgerton (Netflix, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)
In the back half of Bridgerton season three, things heat up for Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) and Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan). They’re finally engaged, but a massive secret looms over their relationship. He still doesn’t know she’s the period-era gossip girl, a.k.a. Lady Whistledown. Will he find out? Will he abandon their relationship if he does? That’s what Bridgerton’s unnecessarily split third season will answer while setting up the main couple for season four. Look out for The A.V. Club’s review of part two this week.
