The Simpsons
As the title suggests, the latest Simpsons episode that’s exclusive to Disney+, “Yellow Mirror,” is a spoof of the long-running sci-fi anthology Black Mirror. The two short stories featured in the show include a satire of artificial intelligence, which gets its claws into little Maggie.

The Undeclared War
The Simon Pegg-led British thriller series returns for a second season this week. Per the official plot description, the new batch of episodes is set in 2024 and features “a fresh wave of tension and drama as the elite Malware Department at GCHQ grapples with the aftermath of a devastating Russian cyber-attack.”
Where to watch The Undeclared War: Season 2 premieres on Peacock on August 27 with all episodes streaming.
Adults
This FX comedy series, which premiered in the spring of 2025, is about a group of friends “in New York trying to be good people, despite being neither “good” nor “people” yet. Samir, Billie, Paul Baker, Issa and Anton share their meals, anxieties and, occasionally, toothbrushes.”
Where to watch Adults: Season 2 premieres on FX and Hulu on August 27. This season runs eight episodes.
All the Truth in My Lies
Based on the novel by Elísabet Benavent, All the Truth in My Lies follows a bachelorette party that, per Netflix, goes from “ultimate summer getaway” to “unforgettable disaster.” (I hate when that happens. Except on a TV show. Then it’s usually quite entertaining.)
Where to watch All the Truth in My Lies: Premieres on Netflix on August 28.
Graveyard
On the third season of this Turkish crime drama, per Netflix, “When sinister boxes arrive at women’s homes across Türkiye, Chief Inspector Önem and her team reunite to unravel a connected web of misogynistic murders.”
