- The "It List" is Yahoo's weekly look at the best in pop culture. Here are our picks for the week of October 25. Selena Gomez is back with another season of her hit pandemic cooking show, "Selena + Chef," in which chefs join Gomez via video call to help her through recipes and to offer helpful kitchen tips. Yes, a show that started in the pandemic is already on its third season. But cheer up, Gomez has gone blonde and it looks like everyone is having a lot of fun.

SELENA GOMEZ: Wow, he's cute.

- Yeah, he's cute.

- I think you're cute, too.

SELENA GOMEZ: Wait, what is happening?

- Was he talking to me or you?

SELENA GOMEZ: Me.

- Over on Lifetime, a ripped from the headlines movie is ready to make you both sad and furious. "Torn from Her Arms" focuses on the United States, family separation policy at the Mexican border. The movie tells the true story of a mother and her young daughter who fled El Salvador, only to be kept apart once they reached the United States.

- Migrants attempting to cross the US border are detained as per the new policy.

- I'm just trying to help a woman who is desperate to know that her child is OK.

- Paramount+ is adding to its stock of "Star Trek" content with a new animated series called "Star Trek-- Prodigy." Unlike other animated "Trek" series, this cartoon really is aimed at kids, following a group of teens who steal an abandoned Starfleet vessel. The show introduces plenty of new characters, but also brings back an old favorite with "Star Trek-- Voyager" star Kate Mulgrew returning to play a holographic version of Captain Kathryn Janeway.

- I've seen my share of wayward crews and I can tell you this-- you've got potential.
