The Yellowstone guy’s spy thriller, more Justified, and all the new TV this week
It’s the dead of summer, it’s hot (probably, wherever you are), which means — of course — it’s time to cool down with some TV.
The return of Justified (via streaming platform reboot, like so much these days) might not help with that. Timothy Olyphant has always been one of the smoothest-talking (and hottest) men to grace the television screen, and his Raylan Givens is no exception. Is the trip outside Kentucky is worth it? We’ll see this week.
Stepping off the big screen, Nicole Kidman is moving from cultural ambassador (in AMC’s preshow) to CIA director, starring in the Paramount Plus’ new Taylor Sheridan show Special Ops: Lioness opposite Zoe Saldaña.
Here are all the significant TV premieres (and finales!) this week.

Olyphant’s smooth-talking U.S. marshal has left Kentucky for greener — or, at least, more urban — pastures. The Justified reboot finds him in Detroit, balancing life as a marshal, a father, and a law enforcement officer squaring off with a violent sociopath.
