Babies and kissing and wildfires, oh my! Virgin River is back for its fifth season, and it promises no shortage of drama in the fictional town.

There will also be plenty of that in a real town — the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back, sans Jen Shah, who's now in prison. But Mary Cosby is back as a friend of the wives, and tensions haven't eased between former besties Heather Gay and Whitney Rose.

Norman Reedus is back for more zombie action in the spinoff series The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and LaKeith Stanfield stars in The Changeling, the series adaptation of Victor LaValle's novel.

On the big screen, seven years after the sequel, the Portokalos family stages a reunion in My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3. And Yara Shahidi and Odessa A'Zion star in the movie adaptation of the popular book Sitting in Bars With Cake.
