Welcome to What\u2019s On, our weekly roundup of notable shows. Here is what\u2019s happening on TV from Sunday, August 9 to Saturday, August 15. All times are Eastern.<\/p>\n
House Of The Dragon (HBO and HBO Max, Sunday, 9 p.m., season three finale) After eight Sunday nights\u2019 worth of fiery twists, shocking betrayals and deadly dragons, House Of The Dragon\u2019s third season will come to an explosive end with this week\u2019s finale episode, which builds toward the devastating Battle at Tumbleton between the Greens (led by James Norton\u2019s Ormund Hightower) and the Blacks (the Winter Wolves and Rivermen among them). That massacre is split into two events in George R. R. Martin\u2019s Fire & Blood, so it remains to be seen if the HBO drama remains faithful to the source material or cherry picks the bloodiest bits for one big season-ending brawl. The Game Of Thrones prequel has already been picked up for a fourth season, so at least some characters have to survive, right? Stick around for The A.V. Club\u2019s review and more coverage of the season\u2019s final episode.<\/p>\n
Reacher (Prime Video, Wednesday, season four premiere) Based on Gone Tomorrow, the 13th of Lee Child\u2019s Jack Reacher novels, the latest installment of this Amazon action-crime thriller sees Reacher (Alan Ritchson) drawn into a complex and deadly conspiracy after trying to help a distraught woman on the Philadelphia subway. When that chance encounter goes horribly wrong, the titular vigilante finds himself warring with \u201cruthless foes from the highest echelons of power,\u201d per the streamer. The first three episodes of the eight-ep season drop on Wednesday; look out for The A.V. Club\u2019s season review on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

My Brilliant Career (Netflix, Thursday, series premiere) Adapted from Miles Franklin\u2019s classic 1901 novel, this six-part Australian drama stars Philippa Northeast as Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely modern farm girl who dreams of becoming a writer. Those lofty professional ambitions butt up against societal pressures and her family\u2019s insistence that Sybylla settle down and marry, a tension that gets even more complicated when she unexpectedly falls for her hunky young neighbor Harry (Christopher Chung). Anna Chancellor, Genevieve O\u2019Reilly, and Kate Mulvany round out the historical drama\u2019s cast.<\/p>\n
