The biggies
The Morning Show (Apple TV+, Wednesday, 12:01 a.m.)
When one door for hate-watching wealthy, out-of-touch people closes (yes, we’re talking about And Just Like That…), another one opens. Apple TV+’s The Morning Show returns for a 10-episode third season set roughly a couple of years after season two ended. Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) and Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) battle brand new problems this season, like a hack at UBA, reporting on the Ukraine war, and the arrival of a wealthy tech entrepreneur (played by Jon Hamm). The cast also includes Billy Crudup, Greta Lee, Karen Pittman, Mark Duplass, and Nicole Beharie. The A.V. Club will recap the show weekly.
The Other Black Girl (Hulu, Wednesday, 12:01 a.m.)
Hulu’s The Other Black Girl is a darkly comedic thriller centered on Nella Rogers (Sinclair Daniels), who works as an editorial assistant at a publishing house. The catch is she’s the only Black female employee—that is, until Hazel-May McCall (Ashleigh Murray) is hired. While initially excited about this, Nella starts receiving threatening messages telling her to quit, which negatively impacts the pair’s budding friendship and leads Nella down a creepy investigative path. Look for The A.V. Club’s review on Monday.
