What to Watch: The Best Man: The Final Chapters is closing the book on the beloved franchise

Almost a decade after we last saw them in The Best Man Holiday, the sequel to 1999's The Best Man, Morris Chestnut (Lance Sullivan), Melissa De Sousa (Shelby Taylor), Taye Diggs (Harper Stewart), Regina Hall (Candace Murchison), Terrence Howard (Quentin Spivey), Sanaa Lathan (Robyn Stewart), Nia Long (Jordan Armstrong), and Harold Perrineau (Julian Murchison) are all back for The Best Man: The Final Chapters. In this limited series, the beloved cast of characters reunite and face, like so many friendships, various degrees of strain and evolution.

Billie Piper is back as child star-turned-actress Suzie Pickles for the three-episode Christmas special, I Hate Suzie Too. Things are looking up for Suzie, who has a new agent, publicist, and job — she's trying to win back fans and the British public by putting on her dancing shoes to compete on Dance Crazee, a reality-competition series.

And if you missed it in theaters (though, based on its $719 million domestic box office haul, who didn't see it already?!), you can finally check out the year's biggest movie, Top Gun: Maverick, starring Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Glen Powell, Jon Hamm, and more.
