Here is the long list of the programming options – mostly holiday movies – to expect on TV this coming week:
On November 19, the 6-hour AMC event series The Little Drummer Girl will debut at 9 PM, airing two episodes. The mini-series weaves a suspenseful and explosive story of espionage and high-stakes international intrigue. Set in the late 1970s, the pulsating thriller follows Charlie (Florence Pugh), a fiery actress and idealist whose resolve is tested after she meets the mysterious Becker (Alexander Skarsgård) while on holiday in Greece. It quickly becomes apparent that his intentions are not what they seem, and her encounter with him entangles her in a complex plot devised by the spy mastermind Kurtz (Michael Shannon). Charlie takes on the role of a lifetime as a double agent while remaining uncertain of her own loyalties.
NOTE: Parts 3 through 6 will air on November 20 and November 21 (two episodes each night).
The season finale of the Amazon streaming series The Romanoffs will air online on On November 23.
On November 25, Dirty John is the new limited event series to debut on Bravo at 10 PM. Based on the articles and breakout true crime podcast with over 30 million downloads from Los Angeles Times reporter Christopher Goffard, the series tells the cautionary tale of how a whirlwind romance between Debra Newell (Connie Britton) and the charismatic con-man John Meehan (Eric Bana) spiraled into a frightening web of deception, denial and mental terror that nearly tore a family apart.
