The Walking Dead franchise continues with the return of The Walking Dead: Dead City for season 2. The spinoff series follows an unlikely pair with Negan and Maggie teaming up to travel to Manhattan, which has long been cut off from the mainland and is filled with threats from the undead as well as a number of factions of living humans who may be even more hostile.

A star-studded cast of very funny people comes together for a new Netflix miniseries in The Four Seasons. Tina Fey, Steven Carell, Will Forte, and Colman Domingo are among the ensemble of this remake of the 1981 movie of the same name, following a group of middle-aged couples who vacation together each season. However, the successful and easygoing dynamic is shattered when one of the couples break up, creating tension and discomfort in the subsequent trips.

Fey also co-wrote the miniseries, and considering that she also wrote one of the funniest sitcoms of all time with 30 Rock, any television project that she is involved in deserves a look. It is also a great showcase for the rest of the cast, with Carell returning to comedy while also embracing his dramatic skills, Domingo getting to show off his funny side more, and Forte getting a bigger role than usual. All eight episodes of the miniseries debut on Netflix on May 1.
