We know TV has a lot to offer, be it network, cable, premium channels, or streaming platforms including Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, and others. So EW is here to help, guiding you every single day to the things that should be on your radar.

Grab yourself a Negroni Sbagliato...with Prosecco in it for this week's season 1 finale of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon — and there could be more tragedy ahead if this teaser means what we think it means.

There are lots of premieres this week, including The Vow Part Two, the Jeopardy! Second Chance Competition, season 3 of Love Is Blind, the sophomore season of One of Us Is Lying, the Netflix series From Scratch starring Zoe Saldaña, and the sci-fi thriller The Peripheral with Chloe Grace Moretz and Jack Reynor.

Plus, after six years since it last aired, Inside Amy Schumer returns for its fifth season on Comedy Central, with the comedian putting her signature spin on current events through sketch comedy. And Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story is back for its 11th season, this one set in NYC.

And Charlize Theron and Kerry Washington star in the Netflix feature film adaptation of The School for Good and Evil book series, about best friends who are taken to the school after being kidnapped and try to figure out how to get home.

Hear more on all of this week's must-see picks on EW's What to Watch podcast, hosted by Gerrad Hall. Be sure to listen/subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts, or via your own voice-controlled smart speaker (Alexa, Google Home).
