The Bear season 3, Interview with the Vampire finale, and more new TV this week
The days are officially getting shorter, but there is no less TV to watch — just take it from this week’s new releases. We’re running the gamut from Dropout’s Make Some Noise season 3 to Netflix’s dynamic Supacell,all the way to the finales of Dark Matter season 1 and Interview with the Vampire season 2. Personally I’m most invested this week in the return of Babylon Berlin, which has switched from Netflix to a new network (more on that below). Thank god you watched House of the Dragon’s latest episode live last night, huh?
Here’s all the new TV premieres and finales this week.
Genre: Superheroes (grounded)
Release date: June 27, with all episodes
Showrunner/creator: Rapman
Cast: Tosin Cole, Adelayo Adedayo, Yasmin Monet Prince, and more
There’s not a lot in this world that can beat “superhero fatigue,” but Rapman’s Supacell hopes to do so by embracing normal people getting superpowers, “not people that are martyrs, not people that are going to save the world, just people that try to save themselves and their families,” as he told SFX magazine.
And indeed his premise is more complicated than it seems: five people in South London getting powers out of nowhere — and having nothing that seems to link them beyond being Black — with a nefarious organization lurking the background.
Genre: Vampire drama
Release date: June 30
Showrunner/creator: Rolin Jones
Cast: Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, Bailey Bass, and more
Lots of ground has been covered this season — Louis (Sam Reid) and Claudia (Bailey Bass) finding their way to Paris; Armand (Assad Zaman) revealing his and Louis’ present-day love and their meet-cute; Daniel (Eric Bogosian) getting fed up of vampire antics. (OK, that last one is par for the course.) Now, with the trial done and dusted, it’s time to see where that leaves our epic vampire love triangle in this crazy world of theirs.
Genre: Cooking dramedy
Release date: June 26 at 6 p.m. PDT/9 p.m. EDT
Showrunner/creator: Christopher Storer
Cast: Jeremy Allen White,
