TV & MOVIES ‘The Mandalorian’ (Disney+): We haven’t seen the last of our hero (Pedro Pascal) or his little green sidekick Grogu — aka Baby Yoda — as this adventure drama set in the “Star Wars” universe launches a third season on Disney+ this week. DETAILS ‘True Lies’ Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis never made a sequel to their 1994 action, comedy movie "True Lies," directed by James Cameron, but CBS has a new TV series with the same title inspired by the film. Steve Howey and Ginger Gonzaga now co-star as Harry and Helen Tasker. Harry is a secret international spy who pretends to have a career in computers that takes him on the road a lot. On a mission in Paris doubling as a romantic getaway for the couple, Harry's double life is exposed and she must join the team. "True Lies," executive produced by Cameron, debuted Wednesday on CBS. DETAILS ‘Alaska Daily’ "Alaska Daily," the ABC drama created by "Spotlight" director and co-writer Tom McCarthy and starring Hilary Swank, returns from hiatus this week. The series follows the staff at a struggling Alaska newspaper whose new star reporter, Eileen Fitzgerald, was hired to join an ongoing investigation about murdered Indigenous women. It's inspired by the decades-old problem of missing and murdered Alaska Native women. DETAILS ‘Daisy Jones & the Six’ Amazon has adapted "Daisy Jones & the Six," the best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid into a limited series debuting Friday. Riley Keough and Sam Claflin star as the lead singers of a 1970s rock band who make beautiful music together but behind-the-scenes they're either at each other's throats or trying to fight their feelings. The story charts the band's early days, fame and abrupt breakup with flash forwards to older versions of the characters looking back on the story. Reese Witherspoon's media company, Hello Sunshine, executive produces. DETAILS "Triangle of Sadness" Best picture Oscar nominee and Palme d'Or winner "Triangle of Sadness" comes to Hulu on Friday, giving stragglers plenty of time (well, nine days) to watch the riotous and bodily social satire before the Oscars, where it's also up for best director and best original screenplay. It's the English-language debut for Swedish director Ruben Östlund who takes a scalpel to the privileged classes on board a luxury yacht, starring Harris Dickinson, Charlbi Dean, Dolly de Leon and Woody Harrelson as a Marxist ship captain.
