New episodes stream Thursdays through April 27. Season two stars Jabari Banks, Adrian Holmes, Cassandra Freeman, Olly Sholotan, Coco Jones, Akira Akbar, Jimmy Akingbola, Jordan L. Jones and Simone Joy Jones.  

Kelly McCreary is leaving Grey’s Anatomy this season. She will depart in the episodes set to air April 13. McCreary had been a cast member for nine seasons. She joins Ellen Pompeo who also departed the series this season. Both are expected to return for another episode at the end of the season. 

Beef premieres on Netflix April 6. The series follows the aftermath of a road rage incident between two strangers. Danny Cho (Steven Yeun), a failing contractor with a chip on his shoulder, goes head-to-head with Amy Lau (Ali Wong), a self-made entrepreneur with a picturesque life. The increasing stakes of their feud unravel their lives and relationships in this darkly comedic and deeply moving series. The ten episode season also stars Joseph Lee, Young Mazino, David Choe, and Patti Yasutake. Maria Bello, Ashley Park, Justin H. Min, Mia Serafino, and Remy Holt recur. 

Tyra Banks is stepping down as host of Dancing with the Stars. She has hosted the past three seasons of the ballroom dancing competition series.

New Case Closed English dubbed episodes have been added to Tubi. Episodes include #985 to #1,005. This is the third wave of new episodes to be dubbed in a decade. A large gap of episodes from the mid 100s to mid 900s is yet to be dubbed.

An all new season of Growing Belushi premieres on Discovery Channel April 5. Jim Belushi combines his many artistic talents with an immense passion to build a cannabis business in Oregon. Jim and his ragtag team of farmers are taking his dream and his artisanal Belushi’s Farm and turning it into a national cannabis brand while setting their sights on a bigger goal, global expansion. But, as Discovery audiences have learned, Jim is his own worst enemy. Will he learn from his mistakes and take his cannabis business across the USA and overseas, or will it go up in a cloud of smoke?

Geoff Stults is set to recur this season on ABC’s new series The Company You Keep. He will play the ex of Sarah Wayne Callies’s Birdie and the father of Ollie. 

Wendi McLendon-Covey will star in NBC’s St. Denis Medical pilot. The comedy series is a mockumentary following the staff at a hospital. She previously starred in ABC’s The Goldbergs for ten seasons, which will be ending this season. 

Terry Crews is set to star in CBS’s JumpStart pilot. The potential series is based on the compic strip of the same name. 

Alison Hammond is the new co-host of The Great British Bake Off. She replaces Matt Lucas who departed after last season. She joins Noel Fielding with Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith as judges. Hammond had previously competed on the celebrity edition of the series.
