Season three of The Walking Dead: Dead City premieres July 26 on AMC. In season three, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) finally put aside their differences to build the first thriving community in Manhattan since the apocalypse, but when chaos in the city begins to arise, they are forced to question: have they learned from their old wounds or will their dark past spell doom for the entire city? Season three also stars Jimmi Simpson, Raúl Castillo, Aimee Garcia, Logan Kim and Michael Emery. 

Dutton Ranch is now streaming on Paramount+. Beth and Rip leave Montana behind for a new life in Texas, where their resolve is tested and the fight to protect what’s theirs is far from over. The series stars Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly, Ed Harris, and Annette Bening. 

Will Ferrell will host the Season 51 season finale of Saturday Night Live May 16. Paul McCartney will serve as musical guest on the late night NBC series. 

Ella Rubin has joined Netflix’s The God of the Woods, a new series adaptation of the novel by Liz Moore. Rubin joins previously announced cast members Kerry Condon and Maya Hawke.  The series is a multi-generational drama series set in the Adirondacks, exploring the Van Laar family’s dark secrets, class tensions, and the mysteries surrounding the disappearance of 13 year old Barbara Van Laar from her family’s summer camp – in the wake of an earlier family tragedy that may be related. As the past and present collide, the Van Laars’ wealth and influence unravel, revealing the damaging consequences of privilege and the abuse of power. 

Prime Video has set the cast of its upcoming romantic drama series Boys of Tommen. Nancy Surridge, Conor Sánchez, James O’Donoghue, and Sophie McGibbon will star in the series. 

100 Cooks premieres June 7 on Food Network. Hosted by Terry Crews, the series welcomes 100 of the country’s best home cooks to run through an epic seven-week culinary gauntlet where 99 cooks will be eliminated and only one is named America’s best home cook and wins as much as $250,000. From firefighters and college students to corporate lawyers and stay-at-home moms and dads, these competitors are from all walks of life and share a passion and talent for food. In each episode, competitors are selected at random by a lottery ball “Cook Mixer” to come to the floor after the “Challenge Mixer” dictates what food-themed battle they will face. Each round is judged by top culinary content creator Nick DiGiovanni and Food Network all-star Alex Guarnaschelli, who will determine who stays in the competition each week and who is sent home. 

BritBox has ordered Chocolate Wars. Inspired by Deborah Cadbury’s book and the true story of the Cadbury family, the period drama will premiere in 2027. It is a warm-hearted family drama following the visionary Cadbury family, the underdogs of the cocoa world, on their journey towards creating the world-famous Cadbury’s chocolate bar. In 1860s Birmingham, when chocolate as we know it doesn’t yet exist, two very different brothers, Richard and George Cadbury, find themselves in charge of their family’s failing cocoa business. Between them, they have the radical genius and burning ambition to turn Cadbury’s into one of the world’s most beloved confectioners. But first, they must learn to trust and rely on each other. And to stop bickering for long enough to actually invent some chocolate! Their sister Maria is navigating her own role within the family and the business, but things become even more complicated when she falls in love with Cadbury’s biggest rival, and is forced to question where her true loyalties really lie. Infused with historical delights and magical invention, Chocolate Wars is about how we build, break and rebuild the bonds of family – and how the sweetest things in life are rarely simple. 

Physical 100: Sweden is coming soon to Netflix. 100 contestants across gender, age, and athletic backgrounds face off in challenges that test strength, endurance, courage, determination, teamwork, focus, and mental resilience. They will push their bodies and minds to the absolute limit to determine who has the most complete physique, with only one winner taking home the grand prize of 1 million SEK. The series brings together some of Sweden’s most accomplished athletes, as well as firefighters, construction workers, gym rats, military professionals and celebrities. Amongst the 100 competitors fighting for the top spot are global swimming icons Sarah Sjöström and Therese Alshammar, UFC legend Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson, Olympic alpine champion André Myhrer, multitalented artist Daniel Adams-Ray, 7-time parkour World Cup winner Miranda Tibbling, boxing star Mikaela Laurén, elite calisthenics athletes Simon Imhäuser and Malin Migdal Flefil, actor Björn Bengtsson, and influencers Hissy Elhissy and Ludwig Blomqvist.
