This week in TV, what’s old is new again — and honestly, we’re better for it.
First of all, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back! It’s technically a place we’ve very much gone before (it’s the show’s second season) and are familiar with (the show is a throwback sensation, taking on the vibe of old-school, Original Series episodic TV). But this is a lot of people’s favorite new Star Trek show for a reason, and the premiere has a lot to love as it somewhat dodges the questions lingering from season 1’s finale.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s fabulous 16th(!) season continues on FX and Hulu with a return to the gang’s roots: pure nonsense. In this one, the Paddy’s Pub gang experiences a few bad omens and believes they’ve been cursed. The episode is appropriately titled “The Gang Gets Cursed,” and the title card joke (like all the other jokes in the FX show) remains very funny.
And if you’re behind on Netflix, this dispatch also comes to you on the heels of Never Have I Ever’s fourth and final season. It’s understandable if you didn’t make it through the whole show over the weekend, but it will set you back a bit before you dig into this week’s offerings — like, most notably, Black Mirror being back after all these years.
Here are all the significant TV premieres this week:
