Thanksgiving week is the perfect time to catch up on shows and movies you may have fallen behind on watching (who doesn't love a good post-Turkey Day binge?), but there are still a lot of new shows and episodes to check out, including the season 31 finale of Dancing With the Stars, where Charli D'Amelio, Shangela, Wayne Brady, and Gabby Windey are all competing for the Mirror Ball Trophy.

While Andor also wraps up its season, Criminal Minds makes its long-awaited return with Evolution on Paramount+, including most of the original cast. Wednesday debuts on, well, Wednesday, bringing to the small screen the story of Wednesday Addams, from producer Tim Burton and starring Jenna Ortega in the title role. And Welcome to Chippendales tells the true story of the famed male dance group and the deadly behind-the-scenes drama involving the men who started it. Recent Emmy winner Lizzo invites fans into her life in the documentary Love, Lizzo.

In theaters, Steven Spielberg's lauded — and serious Oscar contender — The Fabelmans debuts, as does Bones and All starring Timothee Chalamet, and Devotion with Glen Powell and Jonathan Majors.
