Yellowstone Season 5 (Paramount Network)

Season 5 begins with major changes to the status quo in Montana. John Dutton rose from being the patriarch of his vast and wealthy family’s farm to the governor of the entire state. He installs his daughter Beth (Kelly Reilly) as his chief of staff, but both soon learn that they can’t run government as they do on the farm. Meanwhile, Kayce (Luke Grimes) and Monica (Kelsey Asbille) are expecting a baby, but happiness may continue to elude them.

Mythic Quest Season 3 (Apple TV Plus)
Somehow, Mythic Quest still floats under the radar, even among other Apple TV Plus shows. Titles like Severance and The Afterparty have been in the spotlight this year, but workplace comedy is back and as stellar as ever.
Ian (Rob McElhenny) and Bobby (Charlotte Nicdow) leave the company where they created Mythic Quest to start their own venture, GrimPop Studios. The oil and water partners squabble as often as ever, leaving Dana (Imani wise) to act as the go-between. Back in the old digs, David (David Hornsby) is full of hands trying to be the boss, Brad (Danny Buddy) returns after a stint in prison and Sue (Caitlin McGee) struggles with a promotion.

Tulsa King (Paramount Plus)
Stallone-assance has never been fully discovered, despite the efforts of Sylvester Stallone. Perhaps Tulsa King will push it to a higher level because it comes from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. Rocky plays New York mafia Capo Dwight “General” Manfredi, who is released from prison after 25 years.
His loyalty is repaid by exile by his boss in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This leads Dwight to conclude that his mob family does not have his best interests in mind. So, he sets out to build a crew of a bunch of unexpected characters and create an empire in the unfamiliar regions of the Midwest.

Don’t Worry Baby (HBO Max)
The behind-the-scenes drama of Don’t Worry Darling overshadowed the events taking place in the actual movie. You’ve probably heard at least a few of it – the supposed feud between director Olivia Wilde and star Florence Hugh, Harry Styles likely spitting on Chris Pine, and Wilde getting custody papers while promoting her movie, with Shia LaBeouf pulling receipts to prove he’s not. He was not fired from the project.
Whew! The gossip and rumors were so sensational that it might make the movie’s plot pale in comparison. Fifties style housewife Alice enjoys marrying her handsome husband Jack (Stiles) and living in their idyllic company town. But when she begins to see cracks in the seemingly perfect facade, Alice wonders what exactly is going on in this community.

Zootopia + (Disney Plus)
The utterly delightful Zootopia animated movie of 2016 never got a sequel. Disney is finally righting this massive mistake with a series that delves deeper into the lives of some of its most memorable characters.
As you might remember, the movie is set in the titular city where anthropomorphic mammals coexist. Each episode follows a different character, including bunny policeman Judy, cute sloth Flash, fashion-forward arctic shrew Fru Fru and young crook Duke Weaselton.
