TV & MOVIES 'And Just Like That' Max has already publicized two big reveals for season two: the return of John Corbett as Aidan Shaw and Kim Cattrall filmed a scene as Samantha Jones. Although details around each are scarce, we do know Cattrall declined involvement in a third “Sex & the City” film and reportedly wasn’t included in plans for the spinoff series. Fans likely won’t mind how they see Samantha as long as she appears. See how the new episodes of “And Just Like That” unfold now. DETAILS ‘The Bear’ The critically-acclaimed series is back for a second helping. The show stars Jeremy Allen White as a classically trained chef named Carmy who returned home to Chicago to run his family’s sandwich spot called The Beef. In season two, debuting yesterday on FX on Hulu, Carmy and his staff are tasked with leveling up The Beef to become a fine dining establishment named The Bear. Carmy’s changes will require adjustment for all the characters. A central theme for season two, says creator Christopher Storer, is what happens when you get what you want? DETAILS 'Downey's Dream Cars' Robert Downey Jr. combines two of his passions, classic cars and fighting climate change in the new Max docuseries. Viewers go along for the ride as experts help the actor make his vintage car collection not only functional, but environmentally-friendly. The show premiered yesterday with two episodes. DETAILS 'Trippin’ with Anthony Anderson and Mama Doris' Actor-comedian Anthony Anderson is a proud mama’s boy and loves to dote on his mother, Doris. Cameras rolled as the “black-ish” star took his mom on a six-week dream vacation to Europe visiting England, France and Italy. “It’s the best and worst decision I’ve ever made,” declares Anderson in the trailer. “Trippin’ with Anthony Anderson and Mama Doris” debuted yesterday on E!. DETAILS 'The Perfect Find' Gabrielle Union stars as a 40-year-old fashion editor who hits it off with a young man (Keith Powers) only to find out later that he’s the son of her new boss, a media mogul played by Gina Torres. The film, which premieres today on Netflix, is directed by Numa Perrier and based on Tia Williams’ novel of the same name. DETAILS 'Queersighted: The Gay Best Friend' The gay best friend has a times been dismissed as a familiar trope of Hollywood. But a new film series on the Criterion Channel finds much to appreciate and lament in a queer movie legacy that existed only on the margins for much of the 20th century. “Queersighted: The Gay Best Friend” pulls together films from seven decades of American film, from 1937′s “Easy Living” to 1996′s “Irma Vep” to trace the evolution of a stereotype that, as curator and author Mark Harris discuss in an accompanying conversation, offered both relief and dismay for gay moviegoers.
