Welcome to What’s On, our weekly roundup of notable shows. Here is what’s happening on TV from Sunday, November 23 to Saturday, November 29. All times are Eastern.
Back in the Upside Down we go as Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), Hopper (David Harbor), Mike (Finn Wolffhard), and the rest of the Hawkins crew kick off their quest to find and kill big baddie Vecna. As has become Netflix custom, Stranger Things’ fifth and final season is split into three parts, with four episodes dropping on November 26, three on December 25, and the final showdown on New Year’s Eve. Look for The A.V. Club‘s recaps of the new installments on Wednesday and Thursday.
After premiering in China in 2023, American Wong Kar-wai fans are getting their chance to experience the visionary director’s first TV series. Adapted from Jin Yucheng’s 2013 novel Blossoms, the 30-episode drama follows the ascent of Ah Bao (Hu Ge), a Gatsby-esque self-made millionaire in 1990s Shanghai. The A.V. Club’s review of the show publishes Monday.
The latest permutation of this Fab Four docuseries, which originally aired thirty years back, has been restored and remastered with some added bits and bobs, the most notable being a brand-new episode featuring footage of Paul, George, and Ringo coming together in the ’90s to work on this very project.
The Artist (The Network, Thursday, 3 a.m., part one premiere)
It’s like Knives Out, but with way more theater-kid energy. Mandy Patinkin leads a stage-star ensemble (including Patti LuPone, Janet McTeer, Hank Azaria, Katharine McPhee, and Zachary Quinto) as an eccentric tycoon whose Gilded Age estate becomes the setting of a deadly whodunnit. The first three eps hit the streamer on November 27, and three more follow on December 25.
Everybody Loves Raymond 30th Anniversary Reunion (CBS and Paramount+, Monday, 8 p.m.)
The Barones are together again, with star Ray Romano, creator Phil Rosenthal, and castmates Patricia Heaton, Brad Garrett, Monica Horan, Madylin Sweeten, and Sullivan Sweeten gathering for a 90-minute special to reflect on the long-running sitcom.
