One of my current obsessions is HBO’s Succession, which is a perfect outlet for stress relief as I know that no matter how tough things may get for me, I can always look at Kendall Roy and take comfort in the fact that — despite his best, most heroic, and most moronic efforts — he’ll always have it worse than me. I even spent a few hours this weekend learning how to play the beginning of [the excellent theme song](s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r) on the piano, albeit at about one-tenth the actual speed and with 100 more errors. If you’re also a sucker for Succession, [read our new interview with Alan Ruck](s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r), who plays man-about-nowhere Connor Roy, as he tells us that Connor may not be sitting on the sidelines for much longer.

On Wednesday, keep your eye on two new original holiday films: HBO Max’s 8-bit Christmas, starring Neil Patrick Harris as a man recalling his desperate quest as a kid in the ‘80s trying to get a Nintendo Entertainment System for Christmas, and Netflix’s A Boy Called Christmas, a holiday fantasy movie about the origin of Saint Nicholas. They’re two of the many new holiday movies coming out over the next several weeks, and we’ve [highlighted the best of them in our list of the best new Christmas movies of 2021](s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r).

In a refreshing twist, it's set at Thanksgiving rather than Christmas, and lets the conversations between a family set the drama that is sometimes compared to a horror film, despite the absence of monsters and murder. No, the horror is about the human condition and familial relationships! Truly scary, indeed. Richard Jenkins, Beanie Feldstein, Steven Yeun, and Amy Schumer star. s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r SERIES PREMIERE WEDNESDAY ON DISNEY+ [Hawkeye nails the target](s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r) Disney+'s quest to give each and every Marvel character their own show has reached Hawkeye, the Avengers' ace archer played by Jeremy Renner. In this series, Clint Barton's Hawkeye partners up with Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) to take out enemies from his past, but don’t let that make you believe this is a sullen affair. It has continuity with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, taking place after the events of Avengers: Endgame, which blesses us with some comedy in the form of a satirical Broadway musical about Steve Rogers, some uncomfortable LARPing, and one dad who just wants to get home to his family for the holidays. And because this takes place around Christmastime, it will forever be at the center of debates about whether or not it's an actual Christmas TV show or not. s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r SEASON 2 PREMIERES WEDNESDAY ON PEACOCK [Saved by the Bell is back in session](s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r) Peacock's very self-aware continuation of the 1990s teen comedy returns maybe even more aware than it was in the first season. This time, Bayside High battles its valley rivals in a spirit contest, while also continuing the battle between the privileged students and the bused-in woke kids that made up most of Season 1. This was a bit of a sleeper show last year, and it took what could have been low-hanging fruit — let’s catch up with the old Saved by the Bell crew in their 40s, ha ha! — and made it satirical AND heartfelt. And yes, most of the original cast returns, and yes, they will pay tribute to the late Dustin Diamond and Screech. s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r [Unsubscribe](s1myNbHNT:m:1:2364960064:9B4935BB31E8BC3787F677795034A086:r:) | [View online]( © 2021 TV Guide, A Red Ventures company.
