Krasinski returns as CIA agent Jack Ryan for Season 3 of the eponymous Prime Video series based on Tom Clancy’s spy novels. Jack was accused of treason at the end of the second season, forcing him to go rogue. The third season centers on Jack working in Rome before being tipped off about a secret plan to restore the Soviet Empire, leading him to investigate a larger conspiracy. “Jack Ryan” Season 3 also stars Wendell Pierce and Michael Kelly, with “TÁR” star Nina Hoss joining the cast as the Czech President and Betty Gabriel playing the CIA Rome Station Chief....

Netflix’s synopsis for the upcoming television adaptation reads: “After nearly a century of keeping mankind safe, the world’s first generation of superheroes must look to their children to continue the legacy. But tensions rise as the young superheroes, hungry to prove their worth, struggle to live up to their parents’ legendary public reputations — and exacting personal standards.” The series stars Josh Duhamel, Leslie Bibb, Ben Daniels, Elena Kampouris, Andrew Horton, Mike Wade, and Matt Lanter....

The directorial debut from “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria Bastón, “La Guerra Civil” is an often entertaining collage of archival footage and contemporary interviews that spins a tale of two renowned rivals: the Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez and the Mexican-American boxer Oscar De La Hoya. Though somewhat straightforward in premise and repetitive in message, the film is more than a simple story of sports glory: With an honest perspective and energetic style, it offers a shrewd look at how two athletes came to represent divergent national and social identities....

Anyone sufficiently intrigued by an icy Icelandic drama about a pair of aspiring parents and sheep farmers who encounter a bizarre opportunity to fulfill their dreams might want to stop here. First-time writer-director Valdimar Jóhannsson has been schooled in the eloquent atmospheric horror of “The Witch” and “Hereditary” to such a precise degree that “Lamb” may as well exist as a spin-off. (Don’t put it past distributor A24 to have franchise ambitions in mind....

G turns, and pauses a beat. “Uh… Underappreciated, in general.” From these first 10 seconds of Lane’s new documentary about the saxophonist — and the startling backlashes he’s provoked throughout his 40-year career — you know you’re in for a revisionist joyride that’s one of the most entertaining nonfiction efforts in recent years. With Lane’s laughter, just off-camera, to G’s response, it’s apparent right away this won’t be an objective biographical account, her subject held at some artificial remove, but instead, like Lane’s other films (“Nuts!...

Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, the film was born out of auteur Lynch’s response during a Q&A panel at the 2001 New York Film Festival following the screening of “Mulholland Drive.” Lynch said more than 20 years ago that “there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about ‘The Wizard of Oz’” when asked about the classic film’s impact on his own work. “Lynch/Oz” reframes Lynch’s filmography within the context of the technicolor fantasy dream sequence that propelled innocent Dorothy (Judy Garland) into a storybook world....

So Fincher and Messerschmidt struck a balance between retro and modern, taking advantage of the director’s efficient digital workflow to approximate the look of a movie made around the time of “Kane” in 1940 yet “Photographed in Hi-Dynamic Range” (as the title card proclaims). “Filmmaking has always been a medium where we selectively employ the techniques that are available on the day,” Messerschmidt said. But shooting in black-and-white was a lot to unpack for the cinematographer, who had only done a few music videos and commercials outside of still photography and film school projects....

Johnson began with a single, repeating piano motif, representing Carlisle, who re-emerges from personal tragedy in 1939 to start anew as a New York carny grifter. The music then escalates with variations on a theme throughout Carlisle’s rapid ascent two years later as a high society nightclub psychic. As Carlisle becomes more obsessed with fame and fortune, torn between two women (Rooney Mara’s innocent Molly and Cate Blanchett’s sophisticated Lilith), the score takes on greater string dissonances, augmented by jagged piano lurches usually associated with hip-hop....

“Immediately, I knew that Cash wasn’t for me,” the actor told IndieWire during a recent interview. “I was playing Mac in ‘High Fidelity’ [at the time] and I felt that I was [now] playing someone who was evolved and older. He just felt so young.” Clay, soon to become Muhammad Ali, was young at the time: He had just turned 22 and Ben-Adir had already passed 30. While the British actor didn’t vibe with Cassius Clay, he couldn’t tear his eyes away from the scenes that involved the boxer’s spiritual guide, then-Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X....

The official synopsis for the film from Netflix reads: “‘Passing’ tells the story of two Black women, Irene Redfield (Tessa Thompson) and Clare Kendry (Ruth Negga), who can ‘pass’ as white but choose to live on opposite sides of the color line during the height of the Harlem Renaissance in late 1920s New York. After a chance encounter reunites the former childhood friends one summer afternoon, Irene reluctantly allows Clare into her home, where she ingratiates herself to Irene’s husband (André Holland) and family, and soon her larger social circle as well....

I hate the “Perry Mason” moment. Growing up the son of a small town defense attorney, nothing would grind my father’s gears like seeing a TV lawyer badger their witness into an admission of guilt, or suddenly introduce new evidence that they themselves uncovered. The former rarely happens, and the latter is a convenient fallacy cooked up by efficiency-minded screenwriters — lawyers aren’t private investigators. Except, of course, if you’re Perry Mason....

Mega-producer Andy Cohen confirmed March 23 that the iconic reality TV series will be entirely rebooted, with original stars shifting to a spin-off revival series, tentatively dubbed “RHONY: Throwback” or “RHONY: Legacy.” The news has been mounting since Bethenny Frankel exited “RHONY,” followed by the series parting ways with Dorinda Medley and Tinsley Mortimer while adding in fresh faces Eboni K. Williams and Leah McSweeney. “RHONY” mainstays Ramona Singer, LuAnn De Lesseps, and Sonja Morgan also have been in the limelight for a variety of reasons, ranging from allegations of racial insensitivity to alcohol and drug dependency....

Natasha Lyonne reprises her existentially challenged role as Nadia in Netflix’s “Russian Doll” for Season 2, premiering April 20. Set four years after the events of Season 1, the trailer for the second season shows Nadia (Lyonne) getting lost in the New York City subway system, wondering when she is. Posters of “Sophie’s Choice,” bad ’80s clothes, and even early 20th-century soldiers prove that Nadia can’t escape being a prisoner of time....

It’s an ironic (and cheeky) takedown of the original show and leads into introductions to “Saved by the Bell’s” “New Class,” as Daisy (Haskiri Velazquez) and Aisha (Alycia Pascual-Pena) watch the ad and bemoan the $10 billion in education spending Gov. Morris has cut in order to “bail out the fossil fuel industry,” a fiduciary maneuver that shuts their school down and forces them to be bussed to Bayside High....

“Selena: The Series” certainly knows what it wants to say — that it’s leading lady was a good girl, a brilliant singer, and a woman on the cutting edge of the music scene who would have created a revolution if given the chance. Unfortunately, by putting Selena on such a high pedestal she takes on near Christ-like significance, starting from the minute she’s born and her parents, Marcella and Abraham (Seidy Lopez and Ricardo Chavira, respectively) borrow her name off another couple, later discovering it means “Goddess of the Moon....

In Episode 2, Disney and Marvel’s “She-Hulk” starts to reveal the show it really wants to be. With the premiere’s super-powered exposition out of the way, Jen/She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany) invites viewers into her life as an attorney-at-law, but that life is quickly upended by her fight against Titania (Jameela Jamil) in court. Jen’s bosses claim she’s a liability — that they can’t risk further attacks or the influence of She-Hulk’s presence on a jury — and they fire her....

Beyond its beautiful performances and unobtrusive period aesthetic, what matters about “Small Axe” is in its rich history, piercing humanity, and timely messages. “Mangrove” speaks truth to power in order to put this group of characters, and their community, in proper context. “Lovers Rock” appreciates the thrills and excitement freedom provides, dancing through a Blues party filled with vibrating twenty-somethings. “Red, White, and Blue” investigates institutional racism in the Metropolitan Police Force, while “Alex Wheatle” reflects on life from behind bars....

Host: Jerrod Carmichael Carmichael spent his monologue talking around “it” (the Will Smith/Chris Rock Oscars controversy, of course), while also acknowledging that in terms of star power and “SNL” hosts, he’s definitely on the lower side. After all, even when Carmichael had his own sitcom on NBC — “The Carmichael Show,” which he co-created and starred in for three seasons — he never got the chance to promote it on “SNL....

Nielsen’s latest report, which was based on viewership data from September 27 to October 3, marks the sixth time that a title had surpassed 3 billion minutes viewed in a week, per Deadline. “Squid Game” made its debut on Nielsen’s weekly reports last week, when it trounced the competition with 1.9 billion minutes viewed. The Korean-language drama series, which centers on deeply indebted individuals who participate in a twisted game show for the chance to win millions, had nearly triple the viewership of Netflix’s “Midnight Mass,” the second highest-ranked title of the week, which was viewed for 1....
