The fifth and final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel will premiere on Prime Video April 14. Midge finds herself closer than ever to the success she’s dreamed of, only to discover that closer than ever is still so far away. The epic, hilarious, and emotional final season of this beloved series takes us through time for a spectacular send-off, featuring the return of some familiar faces – including Milo Ventimiglia and Kelly Bishop. 

Ed Sheeran will take viewers on an intimate journey behind his life and multiplatinum hits in Disney+’s original series Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All. All four episodes will premiere on the streamer May 3. This series follows Ed after he learns of life-changing news and reveals his hardships and triumphs during the most challenging period of his life. Blending exclusive, never-before-seen personal archive, present-day actuality, authentic interviews with his wife and loved ones, and intimate performances in cinematic locations, the series widens the lens to unearth what Sheeran thinks of the world, of himself and his music, as well as showcases a decade of hits enjoyed by subscribers around the world. 

Couples Therapy returns with new episodes, set to premiere on Showtime April 28 with all nine episodes. The series brings viewers into therapy sessions with Dr. Guralnik, as she deftly guides couples through the conflicts – and extraordinary breakthroughs – typically hidden behind closed doors. The second part of season three follows four new captivating couples wrestling with the confines of long-term relationships: two ex-Mormons struggle with betrayals past and present, a young Palestinian woman desperately tries to adjust to her partners’ demand for polyamory, a husband’s sexual frustration feeds his wife’s insecurities and Dr. Guralnik meets a therapeutic challenge in a man who refuses to face the damage caused by his infidelities. 

Julianne Hough has joined Dancing with the Stars as a new co-host. She previously competed in the dance competition series as a profession, and later returned as a judge.

Hough will take over Ribeiro’s previous role as backstage interviewer as the contestants await their scores. 

Ciaran Hinds, Rory Kinnear, and Tanya Moodie have been cast in season two of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The series is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared reemergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the farthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone. 

Food Network has renewed Superchef Grudge Match for a second season. In each episode, host Darnell Ferguson settles two long-standing personal and professional food feuds in one-round, one-dish winner-takes-all heavyweight battles. Chefs finally bury the hatchet and win $10,000 cash, a prized knife from the losing chef and lifelong bragging rights over their food foe. From food competition rivalries and business partner squabbles to mentor vs. protégé grudges, sparks fly in and out of the kitchen in this one-hour series. New episodes will premiere early 2024. 

HGTV has ordered Building Paradise, a renovation series set in Costa Rica.
