For additional details on how to watch (especially if you don’t have cable), see below, and I’ll be on the red carpet to bring you all the coverage straight from Glamour‘s Instagram and TikTok accounts.
On Tuesday, several of ABC’s biggest hits return, including the season premieres of Will Trent and The Rookie. They’ll be joined by the winter premiere of Kaitlin Olson’s hit freshman series, High Potential. Wednesday is also a big night for the network, as the new Tim Allen/Kat Dennings comedy, Shifting Gears, premieres. The highly-anticipated Abbott Elementary/It’s Only Sunny in Philadelphia crossover is also that night. (In case you’re wondering about where The Bachelor fits into this schedule, it returns later this month.)
If unscripted is more your thing, there’s plenty of that this week as well. Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test returns on Fox with a new cast, including Brody Jenner, Trista Sutter (this is where she was when her husband, Ryan Sutter, wrote those cryptic messages on Instagram last summer), Landon Donovan, Denise Richards, and more.
It’s also the third season premiere of The Traitors on Peacock this week, with plenty of high-profile reality stars like Tom Sandoval, Chrishell Stause, Gabby Windey, Nikki Garcia, Rob Mariano, Sam Asghari (yes, Britney Spears’ ex), Wells Adams, and more in the cast. The Alan Cumming-hosted series has become a cult favorite over on Peacock, so if you don’t want to feel left out in your next brunch conversation, I recommend giving this a watch.
On the film front, Pamela Anderson’s The Last Showgirl finally hits theaters nationwide this Friday. While Anderson is getting all the attention (and rightfully so) for the role, the supporting cast is stacked as well, with names like Jamie Lee Curtis, Dave Bautista, Billie Lourd, Kiernan Shipka, and Brenda Song.
Finally, Today celebrates Hoda Kotb all week, as the beloved co-host signs off this Friday. Expect special guests, sweet montages, and lots and lots of tears.
With that, check out the full guide below (don’t miss The Pitt on Max), and I’ll see you back here next Sunday to preview Outlander‘s season finale and more.

The Last Showgirl (Roadside Attractions): Starring Pamela Anderson, directed by Gia Coppola, and written by Kate Gersten, the film focuses on Shelly (Anderson), a glamorous showgirl who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run. As a dancer in her 50s, she struggles with what to do next; as a mother, she strives to repair a strained relationship with her daughter, who often took a backseat to her family. Jamie Lee Curtis stars as Shelly’s best friend, who brings her own unique interpretation and brilliance to the story. The film also features a new original song, “Beautiful That Way” by Miley Cyrus.
To prep for the film, Gersten spent time with the showgirls of the Jubilee (the last show of its kind in Vegas) in the days leading up to its final performance. In fact, The Last Showgirl was adapted from Gersten’s original play, Body of Work.
“This is a movie about women and many of the aspects that have always been true of our existence—being a friend, a mother, a daughter,” Gersten tells Glamour. “[It’s also about] wanting to have a seat at the table but being told stay home, to go away, that we’re not really useful to society past a certain point. That our time is up when we still have so much to give. This movie is about how the choices we make as women might not please everyone, but we can still own them.” In theaters
Companion (Warner Bros. Pictures): Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid, Harvey Guillén, Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, and Rupert Friend star in this new kind of love story that blends suspense and thriller with sci-fi and elements of dark comedy. In theaters
