We’ve singled out three series you might want to explore if you’re pressed for time or prefer a more focused list. Carry on reading below!

Bad Monkey

Stream on Apple TV+

Nothing ever beats a black comedy crime drama mixed in with a murder mystery. And that’s what new series Bad Monkey brings to the table! The Apple TV+ series stars Vince Vaughn, who hasn’t done many major television roles. But that changes with this show. The production is based on the novel of the same name by author Carl Hiaasen. Check out the official synopsis below:

Bad Monkey tells the story of Andrew Yancy (Vaughn), who has been bounced from the Miami Police Department and is now a health inspector in the Keys. But after stumbling upon a case that begins with a human arm fished up by tourists, he realizes that if he can prove murder, he’ll be back in. He just needs to get past a trove of Floridian oddballs and one bad monkey.

The initial two episodes of the show were aired on August 14, 2024. From then on, a fresh episode will be made available each week until October 9. In total, there are ten episodes in this series. Alongside Vaughn, you’ll see L. Scott Caldwell, Rob Delaney, Meredith Hagner, Natalie Martinez, Alex Moffat, Michelle Monaghan, Ronald Peet, and Jodie Turner-Smith on your screen.

Emily in Paris season 4 part 1

Stream on Netflix

The beloved romantic drama, “Emily in Paris,” is returning with its fourth season, part 1! Yes, you heard it right. Although the entire 10-episode season isn’t available on Netflix just now, fear not as we won’t have to wait much longer to uncover what transpires next in the tale. Part 2, or episodes 6 through 10, will be out on Thursday, September 12, 2024. In the meantime, make sure to watch the first five episodes over the weekend to stay updated!

In Season 4, Emily finds herself torn between two men, one of whom was supposed to marry Camille. The connection between Emily and this man, Gabriel, is electric, according to the summary. Meanwhile, Mindy and her band are preparing for Eurovision, yet they must find innovative ways to gather funds to compete. Sylvie encounters a challenging predicament from her past that she needs to address in order to safeguard her marriage. Lastly, there are two major secrets looming which could potentially hinder Emily and Gabriel’s pursuit of a Michelin star. Quite a lot is going on!

Bel-Air season 3

Stream on Peacock

In the world of Bel-Air, there’s always plenty of excitement and challenges ahead. I have no doubt that the third season will continue this trend, even though it seems to be set during summertime. Despite the sunny weather, our beloved characters won’t escape their problems. As for Will in season 3, he’s now concentrating on finding things that spark his interest, given that being part of the Banks family allows him to dream more ambitiously, according to the plot summary.

In other places, Carlton is prepared to leave his past of addiction, while Phil and Viv encounter some challenges, Hilary and LaMarcus’ relationship encounters some unexpected hurdles, and Ashley might find a more optimistic journey in love. However, I’m particularly intrigued by the dynamics between Will and Carlton this season, as I look forward to seeing how their professional partnership unfolds.

The inaugural episodes of the new season were aired on August 15, 2024. From then on, a fresh episode from the ten-episode series will be available on Peacock each week, culminating on October 3rd. You can find the complete schedule for episode releases below:

  • Episode 1 – Aug. 15
  • Episode 2 – Aug. 15
  • Episode 3 – Aug. 15
  • Episode 4 – Aug. 22
  • Episode 5 – Aug. 29
  • Episode 6 – Sept. 5
