New Series to Watch this Weekend
Rookie cops, spouses investigating each other, an Agatha Christie reboot, and more!
We made it to the weekend! Hooray!!
It’s cold and windy out (it’s January; I live in New York), so this sets up an excellent weekend for TV. Actually, okay, every weekend is a great weekend for TV. With that in mind, this year, we’re going to roll out a weekly weekend viewing guide every Friday, for your streaming pleasure.
Here’s the first! We’ve got seven brand-new or renewed shows for you to tune in to.
The Rookie: Season 8
The Rookie is still on! Can he even be called a rookie at this point? But yes, Season 8 is back now, so if The Rookie is your thing, you’re in luck!

Will Trent, the series based on Karin Slaughter’s bestselling books, is back. And, word has it, a major character from the books is about to make an appearance!
