Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez are in the middle of another mystery in season 3 of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, which welcomes Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd into the comedic action.

Uzo Aduba and Matthew Broderick are at odds as a federal agent and Purdue Pharma's Richard Sackler, respectively, in Painkiller, a fictionalized account of the company's role in the opioid epidemic thanks to its addictive medication, OxyContin.

Billions and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series return for their final seasons, plus Outlander has its midseason finale, and the star of that show, Sam Heughan, hits the road with Graham McTavish for another new season of Men in Kilts.

The movie adaptation Red, White & Royal Blue, based on the popular novel, debuts on Amazon Prime Video, starring Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine as the son of the U.S. president and the Prince of England, who start a secret affair. Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan star in Netflix's action-thriller Heart of Stone, and Orlando Bloom and David Harbour star in Gran Turismo, based on a true story about a racing simulation player who's recruited to be a real driver.
