The HBO show returns after a long hiatus. And the March Madness final airs.
With network, cable and streaming available, the modern television landscape is a vast one. Here are some of the shows, specials and movies coming to TV this week, April 6-12. Details and times are subject to change.
Basketball mania
The March Madness brackets circulating around offices, pubs and the internet will wrap up tonight when one team is crowned the winner of the 2026 Men's NCAA Championship. This year's tournament has seen improbable comebacks, blowout losses, buzzer-beating shots and dramatic finishes (Chase Johnston's game-winning layup for High Point, for one, and Connecticut's stunning last-minute defeat of Duke). Illinois, Connecticut, Michigan and Arizona faced off in the Final Four over the weekend, with Connecticut and Michigan advancing to the final in Indianapolis to play for the title, trophy and their cut of the net. Monday at 8:30 p.m. on TBS, TNT and TruTV.
Immediately following the tournament finale, the second season of the prank series "Foul Play With Anthony Davis" kicks off. With assistance from the creative team behind "Impractical Jokers," the show features athletes from various sports, including LeBron James, Jordan Chiles and Davis's former teammate Cooper Flagg, pulling pranks on fellow players and industry friends across 16 episodes. Monday at 11:30 p.m. on TBS, TNT and TruTV.
Tempting chaos
"Hacks" is back for its fifth and final season, with Hannah Einbinder and Jean Smart taking one last clever lap of the comedy industry together. The series, which premiered in 2021, has received critical acclaim throughout its run, scoring numerous Emmy and Golden Globe wins for both the series and its stars. The upcoming 10-episode season follows the duo to Las Vegas to fortify the comedic legacy of Deborah Vance (Smart). Begins streaming at 9 p.m. Thursday on HBO Max.
What happens when couples are separated to live with groups of eligible singles in a tropical locale? The answer lies on "Temptation Island," the fidelity-testing reality series, now beginning its second season on Netflix. Four couples at a crossroad confront issues of intimacy and incompatibility, and the cameras keep rolling as they attempt to navigate desire. Begins streaming Friday on Netflix.
Outsize drama
The actor and comedian Dan Levy, probably best known for his droll stare and shenanigans as David Rose on "Schitt's Creek," is returning with "Big Mistakes." This new comedy crime series, which he created with Rachel Sennott (writer and star of "I Love L.A.") ups the ante on familial dynamics. But instead of following the unhinged-yet-lovable Rose family in a desolate Canadian town, Levy's latest series will involve high-stakes deception. When two siblings (Levy and Taylor Ortega) commit a theft for their ailing grandmother, they find themselves in the world of organized crime and a spiral of blackmail. Begins streaming Thursday on Netflix.
Yes, the new series "The Miniature Wife" is exactly what it sounds like. When a scientist (Matthew Macfadyen), who has developed "the miracle of miniaturization," accidentally shrinks his wife (Elizabeth Banks) to just six inches tall, they tackle the reality of their relationship's unbalanced power dynamics. With harbored feelings of inferiority now visible, a dramatic showdown ensues. Based on the short story of the same name by Manuel Gonzales, the show, aware of its nightmarish absurdity, examines a love story's real issues -- under a microscope, you might say; Begins streaming Thursday on Peacock.
Stuck in the middle
Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield reprise their roles as the dysfunctional family of the aughts sitcom "Malcolm in the Middle" in a four-part revival, "Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair." Taking place 20 years after the original series finale, the titular middle child, estranged from his family, is forced to spend his parents' 40th wedding anniversary with them, bringing his daughter and girlfriend along. Begins streaming Friday on Hulu and Disney+.
Gilead's next generation
"The Testaments," set in a dystopian world created by the novelist Margaret Atwood, follows Agnes MacKenzie (played by Chase Infiniti), the daughter of "The Handmaid's Tale" protagonist, June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss), and Luke Bankole (O-T Fagbenle). Agnes has adapted to life and servitude within Gilead's walls, but in this sequel, set years after the events in the original series, it's her turn to find allies in her fight for freedom. Three episodes will air together, then new episodes will be released weekly. Begins streaming Wednesday on Hulu.
A euphoric return (finally)
The provocative series "Euphoria" is back from a hiatus of more than four years, with its stars Zendaya, Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney reprising their roles. The show shines an unflinching light on addiction and sobriety, exploitation, toxic love cycles and friendship -- originally framed within a group of high schoolers with big personalities and bigger problems. All these themes are likely to continue in this newest iteration. The trailer shows Rue (Zendaya) seemingly being interrogated by the authorities after working as a drug mule; Nate (Elordi) and Cassie (Sweeney) getting married; and Maddy (Demie) and Cassie rekindling their friendship. The season is already notable because it was Eric Dane's last television role before his death in February. Another cast member, Angus Cloud, who portrayed Rue's drug-dealing friend Fezco, died in 2023 a year after the second season ended, leaving fans wondering how the series will honor him and his unfinished story line. New episodes will air weekly. Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO and streaming on HBO Max.
