Austin Butler’s new show, The Bachelor, and more TV to watch this week
22.01.2024 - 19:57 / polygon.com / Mark Hamill
We’ve almost done it, everyone. January — the hardest month — is almost done. But before it is, we’ve got a lot of TV to watch.
And this week, the new TV has a lot of different flavors to offer: the fantastical charm of the new Masters of the Universe;the gory glories of war in Masters of the Air; lives intersecting in ways big (Expats) and surreal (The Bachelor).
Plus, episode 3 of True Detective: Night Country looms large on Sunday, after the last installment’s perplexing cliffhanger. And to those of you watching this week’s NFL playoff games, we salute you.
Here’s the best TV premieres and finales this week:
Genre: He-Man
Release date: Jan. 25, with five episodes
Showrunner/creator: Kevin Smith
Cast: Chris Wood, Mark Hamill, Liam Cunningham, and more
If you liked Masters of the Universe: Revelation, the last He-Man animated adaptation from Kevin Smith, you should be hyped for Revolution, which picks up from the ending of that one. Now, Prince Adam, King Randor, and company are left to fight the new version of Skeletor, last seen getting infected with a sort of techno-virus.
Genre: “Romance” “reality” show
Release date: Jan. 22 at 8 p.m. EST, with one episode; Jan. 23 on Hulu
Host: Jesse Palmer
Cast: Joey Graziadei, and a bunch of women who want to date him
The Bachelor is back with another single guy who’s done looking for love in all the wrong places — namely, he is done looking for love in The Bachelorette, where he was the runner-up for season 20. Now 28-year-old Joey Graziadei is the Bachelor, and hoping to give his final rose to his true love.
Genre: Drama
Release date: Jan. 26, with two episodes
Showrunner/creator: Lulu Wang
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Sarayu Blue, Ji-young Yoo, and more
Lulu Wang, director of The Farewell, is adapting Janice Y.K. Lee’s novel The Expatriates — what a sentence to get to say! Set in Hong Kong in 2014, the six-episode series will follow a group of foreigners whose lives overlap after a tragedy.
Genre: Prequel
Release date: Jan. 25, with one episode
Showrunner/creator: Michael Caleo
Cast: James McArdle, Emun Elliott, and more
This show is not the Netflix dating show of a similar name where people dress up as animals to date each other (that’s Sexy Beasts). Rather, this is the long-gestating prequel to Jonathan Glazer’s 2000 crime film of the same name — Sexy Beast. The show will center on the early relationship between Gal (James McArdle) and Don (Emun Elliott) in the 1990s.
Genre: Stop-motion comedy for grown-ups
Release date: Jan. 25, with all episodes
Showrunner/creator: Zach Woods, Mike Judge, and Brandon Gardner
Cast: Zach Woods, Carl Tart, J. Smith Cameron, and more
Co-created and starring Zach Woods, In the Know follows the trials and tribulations of creating NPR’s
