This week’s “What To Watch” picks include the revival of a Cartoon Network favorite (“Regular Show: The Lost Tapes”), the long-awaited second season of “Everyone is Doing Great” (Netflix), a very short third-and-final season of “Good Omens” (Prime Video), and the second season of “Rivals” (Hulu).

We also recommend the hockey soap “Off Campus” (Prime, again) and the premiere of Taylor Sheridan’s “Dutton Ranch” (Paramount+) Let’s hit the couch!

Night owl? Peep what’s on late-night TV this week.

New on Netflix this week

“Everyone is Doing Great” | Netflix | Comedy

Season 2 premiere, Monday, May 11: After languishing in distro limbo for half a decade after debuting on Hulu, we finally get the “lost” second season (along with the first) of “Everyone Is Doing Great” via Netflix. Created by and starring “One Tree Hill” alums James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti, this poignant indie comedy follows Seth and Jeremy, two former teen idols struggling to outrun the fading shadow of their defunct vampire series, “Eternal,” navigating professional rejection and messy personal lives.

New on Cartoon Network this week

“Regular Show: The Lost Tapes” | Cartoon Network | Animation, comedy

Series premiere, Monday, May 11, time TBD: Say it with me, “Regular Show” fans! “Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” For non-fans, that’s how main characters Mordecai (a blue jay) and Rigby (a squirrel) express enthusiasm. Now that J.G. Quintel’s mega-popular, super trippy Cartoon Network show about a couple of slackers working for the parks department is revived for at least two seasons (44 episodes!), “Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” is how I feel. Now let’s get HBO Max to bring back Quintel’s more adult series, “Close Enough.” Yeah-yuh!

New on Prime Video this week

“Good Omens” | Prime Video | Comedy, drama, fantasy

Season 3 premiere, Wednesday, May 13: The “Good Omens” TV show has ventured far beyond the canon of the original book, and no one knows how things are going to end after Season 2’s heart-wrenching cliffhanger. Season 3 takes the form of a single, feature-length episode, where Crowley and Aziraphale must reunite to deal with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. — Olivia Bono, Staff Writer

New on Prime Video this week

“Off Campus” | Prime Video | Drama

Series premiere, Wednesday, May 13: Prime Video is going all-in on BookTok. “Off Campus” is a fake-dating hockey romance based on the bestselling books by Elle Kennedy. Think “To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before,” but in college and a lot spicier. (If you’re looking to add it to your TBR, the first book in the series is called “The Deal”). — Olivia Bono, Staff Writer

New on Paramount+ this week

“Dutton Ranch” | Paramount+ | Drama

Series premiere, Friday, May 15: What’s this, the fourth Taylor Sheridan joint to come out in the first half of 2026? The man is a machine. Unlike “The Madison,” “Dutton Ranch” is a certified “Yellowstone” spinoff. The sequel series sees the saga continue with Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) pursuing a fresh start in South Texas, only to discover that escaping the Dutton family legacy won’t be that simple—they’re gonna have to face down a rival rancher like two bulls in a pen (does that ranch reference pass? If you can’t tell, I’m not a country boy). Annette Bening and Ed Harris also star in this nine-episode drama.

New on Hulu this week

“Rivals” | Hulu | Drama

Season 2 premiere, Friday, May 15: Following a shocking Season 1 cliffhanger, David Tennant’s ruthless Tony Baddingham is back for blood, escalating his cutthroat war against Alex Hassell’s dashing Rupert Campbell-Black for television dominance in the mid-1980s. This expanded 12-episode season dives deeper into the hedonistic excess of Thatcher-era Britain. Expect even more ’80s excess, illicit affairs, and boardroom betrayals, bolstered by the arrival of guest stars Hayley Atwell and Rupert Everett. Three episodes premiere today, with the rest coming weekly thereafter.

TV Shows Like Ted Lasso

TV Shows Like “Ted Lasso”: “Welcome to Wrexham,” “Shoresy,” and More

Ted Lasso ended its three-season run in 2023 (or did it?), and it’s still one of the most popular shows on Apple TV. But, there are only so many times you can rewatch Ted’s lush mustache, Roy’s profane rants, and Trent Crimm’s inexhaustible T-shirt collection.
