Long time no see, Stana Katic! Our “Castle” heroine returns in this Amazon Prime Original Series, which premieres February 2 on Prime. Stana plays FBI agent Emily Byrne, who disappears without a trace while hunting one of Boston’s most notorious serial killers. She’s declared dead, but — not so fast! Six years later, she’s found in a cabin in the woods, barely alive, with no memory of the years she was missing. She returns home to discover her husband has remarried, with her son is being raised by another woman. And she finds out she’s implicated in a new series of murders. Almost better to have stayed dead?
Luke Evans, Rebecca Hall, and Bella Heathcote star in this historical drama available on DVD and Blu-ray Tuesday, January 30. Based on a true story set in the 1940s, the film — directed by Angela Robinson — follows a Harvard professor and psychologist who was inspired by his wife and mistress to create the iconic comic book character Wonder Woman. Bonus features include the featurettes “A Dynamic Trio: Birth of a Feminist Icon,” and “A Crucial Point of View: Directing – Professor Marston and the Wonder Women.”
This Sunday, Feb. 4 is Super Bowl LII. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t care about the Super Bowl, you may still care about what’s airing around it. “This Is Us” got the cushy post-Super Bowl spot, starting at 10:30 p.m. or whenever the dang thing ends. It’s going to be *THE* episode — the one showing how Jack Pearson dies, and why Kate blames herself. Since it’s airing on Super Bowl Sunday, the modern storyline will also focus on the big game, and how The Big Three honor their father on the anniversary of the day he died.

Everything Stephen King touches seem to be coming to big or streaming screens these days, and that is just fine from here. Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey star in this start of “The Dark Tower” adventure, arriving on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD on October 31. The Blu-ray comes with a ton of extras, including five behind-the-scenes featurettes, a blooper reel, deleted scenes and “A Look Through the Keyhole,” which features three vignettes narrated by Roland and The Man in Black. The DVD includes the blooper reel and two of the featurettes.
“The Handmaid’s Tale” has been doing pretty darn well for Hulu, so Netflix is trying its luck with another, very different, Margaret Atwood novel. She might be the new Stephen King when it comes to adaptations. No complaints!
Mmmmm. Donuts. CBS is tweaking its schedule a bit this week, bringing Season 2 of “Superior Donuts” back at 9 p.m. instead of 9:30, so it airs before “Me, Myself & I.” The October 30 premiere is called “What the Truck?” and here’s the scoop: “Arthur’s business is threatened by an ambitious young entrepreneur who parks her food truck in front of the donut shop; Franco grows frustrated trying to following his dream of going to college.”

Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey star in this battle of good and evil based on Stephen King’s epic novels. “The Dark Tower” debuts on digital October 17, and on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD on October 31. Digital and Blu-ray bonus materials include deleted scenes, a blooper reel, “A Look Through the Keyhole,” and five behind-the-scenes featurettes.

We’re goin’ to war! “The Walking Dead” returns October 22, and the Season 8 premiere is also the 100th episode of the entire series. Negan and Rick are now engaged in All Out War, which means more action is ahead, and the characters should be sticking together instead of being split into mini groups like last year. Fingers crossed that they’ve learned some lessons from Season 7 — and by “they” we don’t just mean Team Rick.
