On his new series The Rehearsal, comedian Nathan Fielder helps people prepare for big life events by rehearing them first — with a twist. John Cho plays a dad who goes on a road trip with his daughter after getting a terminal medical diagnosis in the movie Don't Make Me Go. Daisy Edgar-Jones stars in the adaptation of the popular novel Where the Crawdads Sing, produced by Reese Witherspoon. On the new season of Blood & Treasure, antiquities expert Danny McNamara and former master thief Lexi Vaziri are on the hunt for the Spirit Banner of Genghis Khan. Schitt's Creek star Emily Hampshire guest stars on the finale of Trixie Mattel's renovation series, Trixie Motel.

Country music singer Lindsey Ell, featured on the new episode of PBS' American Anthems, tells us what she's watching. Plus, entertainment headlines — including Constance Wu's shocking admission that she tried to end her own life because of internet shaming because of comments she made about Fresh Off the Boat getting renewed; the advice directors give Penn Badgley to be less creepy during You masturbation scenes; another actor leaves Sex Education; two more actors join Scream 6, and the former teammates Tom Brady recruited for his movie — our Sound Bite of the Week from the new Handmaid's Tale teaser trailer, and trivia.

Hear more on all of today's must-see picks on EW's What to Watch podcast, hosted by Gerrad Hall.
