Harry & Meghan: An African Journey
HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: 10 p.m. on ABC
ABC and Britain’s ITV News are giving viewers an intimate look into the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s 10-day trip to Malawi, Angola, South Africa, and Botswana. GMA co-anchor Robin Roberts hosts the special, while ITV News anchor Tom Bradby sits down for an exclusive interview with Harry and Meghan, where they speak about the “pressures and challenges they face as a young family living in the glare of the world’s media,” according to an ABC press release. The couple also provides insight into their roles as modern royals, how they balance their public and private lives, and the humanitarian causes they care about and support most. —Gerrad Hall

Series Debut
Netflix is taking viewers on a global eating tour — and Seth Rogen, Chrissy Teigen, Lena Waithe, and Kate McKinnon are coming along for the ride. Chef David Chang, who also hosts the streaming service’s Ugly Delicious, will meet up with each of the celebrities in a different city to experience the cuisine and culture of the area: Rogen in his hometown, Vancouver (above, watch as they freak out over a “perfect” jelly donut); Teigen in Morocco; Waithe in Los Angeles; and McKinnon in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. —Gerrad Hall

Castle Rock
HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Hulu
Season Premiere
For season 2, Castle Rock is shifting its focus to one of Stephen King‘s most famous characters. Lizzy Caplan stars as a pre-Misery Annie Wilkes, who lands in the titular town with her daughter Joy (Eighth Grade’s Elsie Fisher) and crosses paths with local tough Ace Merrill (Paul Sparks) and his father (Tim Robbins, making his return to the King-verse after Shawshank Redemption). The season will delve into Wilkes’ backstory and increasingly unstable psyche, and Caplan, as EW critic Kristen Baldwin puts it, “embodies a woman who is struggling to control a constant surge of inner turmoil.” “I think we hopefully will give you a different insight into the Annie Wilkes you know and love from the past,” the actress told EW at New York Comic Con. Just don’t let her too close to any sledgehammers. —Tyler Aquilina
