Love Island reunites as Varnell Hill and The Gentlemen return
Peacock closes a record-setting summer, Shondaland stays at Netflix, and September’s first wave arrives.
The Week’s Biggest Events

Tommy Davidson’s Varnell Hill steps out of Martin and into his own eight-episode comedy on September 1. The Paramount+ series follows the larger-than-life host behind the scenes of his long-running late-night show, where staying relevant may be harder than becoming famous.

Season 2 arrives in full September 3 on Hulu. Russ’s fake-quarterback act is finally drawing serious suspicion, and the person best positioned to save Chad Powers is Ricky—the person least interested in helping him.

Eddie and Susie expand their criminal enterprise when Season 2 returns September 3 on Netflix, taking the operation to Italy and into conflict with the Mafia. Netflix has already confirmed a third season, so this power grab is only getting started.
