Welcome to What’s On, our weekly roundup of notable shows. Here is what’s happening on TV from Sunday, April 5 to Saturday, April 11. All times are Eastern.
We return to Gilead in this follow-up to The Handmaid’s Tale, which boasts some familiar faces—Emmy winner Ann Down is back as the devout and deeply scary Aunt Lydia—but mostly new ones, including teens played by One Battle After Another‘s Chase Infiniti and Blue Jean‘s Lucy Halliday. Read The A.V. Club’s review.
This sci-fi dramedy stars Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen as a married couple whose dysfunctional relationship gets even more complicated when he, the creator of a “bio-agritech” miniaturization device, accidentally shrinks her to just six inches tall. O-T Fagbenle, Zoe Lister-Jones, Sian Clifford, and Sofia Rosinsky also appear. Look for The A.V. Club’s review on Wednesday.
Schitt’s Creek‘s Dan Levy partnered with I Love LA creator-star Rachel Senott to concoct this family crime comedy, which finds the former playing a queer pastor who gets blackmailed into working for gangsters with his directionless sister (portrayed by Taylor Ortega). Along the way, the bickering siblings have to contend with their chaotic family, with Laurie Metcalf tackling their mother. The A.V. Club’s review publishes Thursday.
Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord (Disney+, Monday, 3 a.m., series premiere)
Disney+’s new animated series finds Maul (voiced once again by Sam Witwer) very much with revenge on the brain. The former Sith Lord is determined to rebuild his fractured criminal empire on the remote planet of Janix and takes on a new apprentice (played by Gideon Adlon) to do so. Richard Ayoade and recent Oscar nominee Wagner Moura round out the cast. Check out The A.V. Club’s review on Monday.
Malcolm In The Middle: Life’s Still Unfair (Hulu, Friday, 12 a.m., miniseries premiere)
Frankie Muniz’s Malcolm is back and, much to his chagrin, so is his family. The four-part Hulu revival finds our now-grown narrator living happy with his daughter Leah (Keeley Karsten) and girlfriend Tristan (Kiana Madeira). But the upcoming 40th-wedding anniversary of his parents (played by Jane Kaczmarek and Bryan Cranston) threatens to disrupt his peace of mind.
