In the sequel season of The Last of Us, starring Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Kaitlyn Dever, Gabriel Luna, Rutina Wesley, and Young Mazino, we witness the continuation of the post-apocalyptic saga. Premiering this weekend on Max, viewers can catch the initial two episodes of Your Friends and Neighbors on Apple TV+, following Jon Hamm’s character as he navigates a world of illicit activities to provide for his loved ones. Meanwhile, Disney+ brings back the iconic Doctor Who for its second season, promising more thrilling adventures. With weekly episodes for all three series, viewers can enjoy a weekend binge and still have more to look forward to with subsequent episodes.

In the upcoming season of The Last of Us, Pedro Pascal reprises his role as the resilient survivor Joel Miller. Set five years after Season 1, the new installment follows Joel and the immune 19-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey) as they grapple with internal and external conflicts in a changed world. As they strive to evade the grip of a terrifying pandemic that mutates humans into monstrous beings, will their bond withstand the challenges they face? Or will unforeseen calamities threaten to tear them apart before they can find solace in each other once more?

Your Friends and Neighbors is a premiering Apple TV+ Original drama series that stars Jon Hamm as Andrew “Coop” Cooper, a New York hedge fund manager who is at a major turning point in life. After getting divorced and losing his job, Coop begins to rob his rich neighbors in order to maintain his family’s affluent lifestyle, only to find that something sinister might be lurking behind the glossy facades of his own community.

Ncuti Gatwa returns as the Fifteenth Doctor to resume his trademark alien Time Lord mischief and mayhem in Doctor Who: Season 2. This season, the Doctor meets his new companion, Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu), launching an exhilarating new expedition to get her back to Earth. But with a mysterious force preventing their return, the duo must face fresh obstacles, foes, and dangers that will challenge our dear Doctor like never before.
