Happy Thanksgiving week everyone! Or as I like to call it, the official arrival of the cozy TV season. It’s a chance to eat all the leftovers and curl up on the couch to watch all your nostalgic favorites while taking advantage of the great holiday deals.
But even with the typical Thanksgiving staples (the parade, iconic Christmas movies), plenty of new series are also premiering this week. Welcome to Chippendales starring Kumail Nanjiani premieres on Hulu, about the empire of male nudity. It has shirtless men, crime, and an all-star cast. There’s also Wednesday on Netflix, which sounds like it would have been perfect for a Halloween premiere, but hey, Thanksgiving week works too.
Meanwhile, Hallmark debuts A Royal Corgi Christmas, which I can’t wait to see based on the title alone. And if you’re looking to catch up on other shows heading into the holiday season, now is the time to binge. Restart on Hulu, which I called the best new comedy series of the year when it first premiered in September, as well as Bear (also on Hulu), which feels appropriate as we head into the season of dining out and family gatherings.
With that, happy Thanksgiving, and we’ll see you here Sunday for firefly lane second season, a love, actually anniversary retrospective, and more.
