10. The Handmaid's Tale, Season 6
The Handmaid's Tale kicked off its sixth and final season with a three-episode premiere and a promise of all-out revolt. June (Elisabeth Moss), Moira (Samira Wiley), and Luke (O-T Fagbenle) are drawn back into the Mayday rebellion in the hopes of toppling Gilead and saving Hannah (Jordana Blake), while Serena (Yvonne Strahovski) returns to her totalitarian roots and hopes to claim power within Gilead. Will revolution bring her and the rest of the Commanders to their knees? Or will dystopian dread prevail? — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

9. Your Friends & Neighbors, Season 1
Jon Hamm turns to a life of crime in Apple TV+'s Your Friends and Neighbors. Hamm plays Andrew "Coop" Cooper, a disgraced hedge fund manager whose firing leaves him totally broke. To keep up appearances in his wealthy community of Westmont Village, Coop resorts to stealing from his affluent neighbors, only to find himself learning their best-kept secrets along the way.
An intriguing look into the lives and ennui of the filthy rich, Your Friends and Neighbors is buoyed by Hamm's lead performance — his first on TV since the end of Mad Men. Suave and just barely covering up deep existential dread, Hamm (and Coop's wry voiceover) will hook you pretty fast. — B.E.
Starring:Jon Hamm. Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero, Eunice Bae, Isabel Gravitt, and Donovan Colan
How to watch:Your Friends & Neighbors begins streaming on Apple TV+ on April 11.
8. Hacks, Season 4
Fresh off its Emmy–winning third season, Hacks returns for Season 4 — and the tension between Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) has never been higher. The Season 3 finale saw the pair betray each other in different ways: Deborah passed Ava up for the head writer job at her new late night show, then Ava blackmailed her way into the job, using as leverage Deborah's secret affair with network head Bob Lipka (Tony Goldwyn).
In the Season 4 premiere, the duo are understandably at each other's throats, with Smart and Einbinder once again firing on all cylinders. Prepare for more of their electrifying dynamic, as well as a healthy dose of show business satire. — B.E.
Starring:Jean Smart, Hannah Einbinder, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Megan Stalter, Paul W. Downs, Rose Abdoo, and Mark Indelicato
How to watch:Hacks Season 4 premieres on Max on April 10.
7. G20
What if Air Force One starred Viola Davis? That feels like the pitch for this enticing action movie G20, in which the Academy Award–winning actress stars as an American president who uses her right to bear arms (and bare arms) to fight back terrorists who invade the G20 summit of world leaders in Cape Town, South Africa. But it's not just about keeping her allies in politics safe. This president is also one tough mother, battling not only for the future but also her husband and two teen children.
The buzz around director Patricia Riggen's latest is good. But even if it wasn't, you had us at Viola Davis action movie. — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor
Starring: Viola Davis, Anthony Anderson, Marsai Martin, Ramón Rodríguez, Antony Starr, Douglas Hodge, Elizabeth Marvel, Sabrina Impacciatore, and Clark Gregg
How to watch: G20 is now on Prime Video.
6. Novocaine
Everyman Nathan Caine's (Jack Quaid) inability to feel pain turns him into an unlikely superhero in the action comedy Novocaine. A mild-mannered, antisocial assistant bank manager, Nathan springs into action when robbers take his new crush, Sherry (Amber Midthunder), hostage. He may not know how to fight, but he can take a punch (or a stab, or a gunshot) like nobody else, simply because he can't feel it. What comes next is a damn good time, complete with hilarious action sequences and a knockout performance from Quaid.
As I wrote in my review, "While I don't actively wish harm on movie protagonists, I will say that thanks to Quaid, it's never been more fun watching someone get hurt." — B.E.
Starring: Jack Quaid, Amber Midthunder, Ray Nicholson, Betty Gabriel, Matt Walsh, and Jacob Batalon
How to watch:Novocaine is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

What will the remaining adult Yellowjackets do to Melissa (Hilary Swank)? Will the teen Yellowjackets find a way out of the wilderness? And perhaps most importantly, will we ever find out who Pit Girl is? After a fairly frustrating season, we at least deserve some closure. — B.E.

1.The Last of Us, Season 2
Grab your tissues, because The Last of Usis finally back. And if you thought Season 1 left you an emotional wreck, just wait.
The Last of Us Season 2 picks up five years after the end of Season 1, when Joel (Pedro Pascal) made a brutal but necessary, choice to save Ellie (Bella Ramsey). Now living in Jackson, Wyoming, the formerly inseparable duo are no longer on speaking terms. What led them to this point, and how has Joel's decision affected their relationship? These are the main questions The Last of Us will tease out over the course of its heartbreaking Season 2, which also introduces new threats in former Firefly Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), factions like the Washington Liberation Front and the Seraphites, and more terrifying Infected.
SEE ALSO: 'The Last of Us' Season 2 review: Joel and Ellie's return devastates and infuriatesUnsurprisingly, The Last of Us Season 2 proves just as heartbreaking as Season 1, especially thanks to stellar return performances by Pascal and Ramsey. Yet for all the exquisitely wrought emotional tension between the two, The Last of Us throws in unsatisfying world-building elements that simply won't gel until Season 3. The end result is both moving and frustrating. As I wrote in my review, "So much of this season is spectacular, from Joel and Ellie's wrenching relationship to a snowy Clicker battle that calls to mind Game of Thrones''Hardhome.' But ultimately, it's just one half of a great story — is that enough?" — B.E.
Starring:Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Kaitlyn Dever, Gabriel Luna, Rutina Wesley, Young Mazino, Isabela Merced, Tati Gabrielle, Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey Wright, Joe Pantoliano, and Alanna Ubach
How to watch:The Last of Us Season 2 premieres on HBO and Max on April 13.
