What to Watch this week: Tom Hiddleston is back for a new season of “Loki”, “Wheel of Time” wraps up season 2

The multiverse is in danger of collapsing into chaos on the new season of Loki — Ke Huy Quan joins Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson for season 2. Plus, Taika Waititi's Blackbeard is back for a new season of Our Flag Means Death. And NBC's primetime lineup brings the drama with two returning shows and another series debut: Quantum Leap, Magnum P.I., and Found.

There are also several season finales of note, including Only Murders in the Building, The Wheel of Time, Star Wars: Ahsoka, and The Continental — and the debut of a new Strawberry Shortcake adventure, Strawberry Shortcake and the Beast of Berry Bog.

In theaters: Peter Dinklage, Anne Hathaway, and Marisa Tomei in She Came to Me; Jamie Foxx, Tommy Lee Jones, and Jurnee Smollett in The Burial; the raunchy musical Dicks: The Musical; and Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke in Pedro Almodóvar's short film, Strange Way of Life. On streaming: the horror movies Totally Killer and Pet Sematary: Bloodlines; Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich in Fair Play; and Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan in Foe.
