Teenage Dreams
Team Jeremiah? Team Conrad? I’m team “date someone outside the family who aren’t brothers,” but maybe that’s just me. “The Summer I Turned Pretty” follows Lola Tung as Belly, who navigates high school, then college. But the central plot is the will-they-won’t-they relationships between her and two brothers, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and Conrad (Christopher Briney). Based on the young adult novels of the same name by Jenny Han, the series returns with its third and final season, dropping one episode each week — which means we won’t find out whom Belly ultimately chooses until mid-September. Han, who also serves as the creator, co-showrunner, and an executive producer on the show, has teased that the ending of the show might differ from the book’s, so only time will tell. Streaming Wednesday on Prime Video.
Musical Specials

Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the rest of the gang seem to be quite busy this summer — they’re on Coach bags, Uniqlo T-shirts, an entire Kith collection, and now they have to save their favorite summer camp. In “Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical,” the first musical in the franchise in over 30 years, the group is headed on an outdoorsy adventure: Sally is nervous as a first-time camper, Snoopy and Woodstock go on a treasure hunt, and Charlie Brown works to keep their beloved camp’s doors open. Streaming Friday on Apple TV+.
Missing Persons
In 1995, Jodi Huisentruit was 27 years old and working as an anchor for the local news station, KIMT, in Mason City, Iowa. On the morning of June 27, she didn’t show up for work, and when the police later went to her apartment to investigate, they found some of her personal items — including car keys and red high heels — strewn near her car in the complex’s parking lot. She was never found and, in 2001, was declared legally dead. The new three-part documentary series “Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit” features interviews with family members, detectives, witnesses and friends in an attempt to figure out what happened. Streaming Tuesday on Hulu.
Amy Bradley was 23 years old and had just graduated from Longwood University in Virginia when she went on a cruise with her parents and brother in 1998. Two nights in, she went missing, and though the family pleaded with the ship crew members to not dock before looking for Bradley, they landed as planned to avoid alarming other passengers. Bradley hasn’t been seen since. The documentary “Amy Bradley Is Missing” revisits the events and the following investigation, including leads and purported sightings of Bradley in Curacao, where the ship had docked that day. Streaming Wednesday on Netflix.
New Beginnings
In the new limited series “Untamed,” Eric Bana is headed into the wilderness as Kyle Turner, an Investigative Services Branch agent for the National Park Service who investigates a murder in Yosemite. The problem? Well, there’s a killer on the loose for one, and this person might know the park even better than Turner does. The other issue is that, like any good detective, Turner has some gnarly secrets himself that might just come in the way of properly investigating this crime. Streaming Thursday on Netflix.
