Here is the list of the programming options to expect on TV this coming week:
On August 17, the finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will air online on Paramount+.
The new movie Puppy Love will debut online on Freevee on August 18. After a disastrous first date, wild-child Nicole (Lucy Hale) and socially-anxious Max (Grant Gustin) vow to lose each other’s numbers until they learn that their dogs find a love match, and now puppies are on the way. The hilariously mismatched Nicole and Max are forced to become responsible co-parents, but may end up finding love themselves. The film also stars Jane Seymour, Michael Hitchcock and Nore Davis.
On August 18, the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie The More Love Grows will debut at 9 PM. When Helen’s (Rachel Boston) husband unexpectedly asks for a separation just after they’ve dropped off their daughter at college, she struggles to navigate her new-found single status. Thanks to a stray dog who enters her life and the friendship of a helpful veterinarian (Warren Christie), Helen rediscovers her strength and begins to forge a new path.
The finale of the drama The Summer I Turned Pretty will air online on Amazon on August 18.
On August 18, the Amazon 8-episode limited series Harlen Coben’s Shelter will debut online. The show follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the sudden death of his father leads him to start a new life in Kasselton, New Jersey. Mickey quickly finds himself tangled in the mysterious disappearance of a new student at his school, Ashley Kent, which leads to uncovering unimaginable secrets within their quiet suburban community. With the help of his friends, the inventive Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and the secretive Ema (Abby Corrigan), Mickey pulls back the sleepy facade of Kasselton to reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances, deaths, and legends and perhaps even his own complex family history. Constance Zimmer co-stars.
The new movie Never Too Late to Celebrate will debut on the Hallmark Channel on August 19 at 8 PM. Camila’s (Alexa PenaVega) busy schedule at the dental practice where she works has left her exhausted and with little time for a life outside of her patient load. When she meets Javi (Carlos PenaVega), a substitute teacher at the school where Camila’s mother Sherri (Sherry Miller) works, she takes him up on his offer to join the Spanish class he teaches on the side so she can finally learn the language of her late father. Sparks fly as Javi helps Camila connect with her Mexican roots and, with her 30th birthday around the corner, Javi encourages Camila to mark this milestone with a “double quinceañera” to honor her Hispanic heritage. Not one for big parties, she’s hesitant at first but ultimately decides to take the plunge and celebrate in style.
Lastly on August 20, this 10-part period piece drama The Winter King will debut on MGM+ (formerly EPIX) at 9 PM. This bold, revisionist take on the well-loved Arthurian legend, and based on the Warlord Chronicles series from Bernard Cornwell, the series is set in the 5th Century long before Britain was united. It’s a brutal land of warring factions and tribes where lives were often fleeting and follows Arthur Pendragon (Iain De Caestecker from Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) as he evolves from outcast to legendary warrior and leader. The series also stars Eddie Marsan, Andrew Gower and Simon Merrells (among others).
Mark your calendars!
