While Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 dominates theaters, we get some counter-programming in the form of Book Club — The Next Chapter, starring Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen. And Jennifer Lopez stars in the Netflix action-thriller The Mother, as an assassin woman who goes to extreme lengths to rescue and protect the daughter she gave up years earlier.

The Werk Room is open again, with 12 returning queens vying for the crown and $200,000 on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 8. Antoni, Bobby, Jonathan, Karamo, and Tan are back for a new season of Queer Eye, this time taking over — and making over — the Big Easy.

Titans wraps up after four seasons, and S.W.A.T. and NCIS: Los Angeles air the first parts of their series finales. Meanwhile, The Muppets Mayhem follows the Electric Mayhem Band and a record label executive (Lilly Singh) as they try to record a new album; Kate Mara and Brian Tyree Henry are among those who star in the series Class of '09; and Tina Fey, Chrissy Teigen, Sam Richardson, Nat Faxon, and Daniel Radcliffe are among the voice talents in the new Netflix animated series Mulligan.

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).
