Happy birthday to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson AND Christine Baranski? I don’t know who to celebrate first. One’s a superstar whose sheer presence is a sight to behold and could definitely kick my butt to high heaven. And the other one is The Rock! Those two definitely need to be in a movie together, preferably some sort of adventure in a foreign country where they heist a precious artifact and sizzle with romantic tension. I am here for it. Here’s what to watch this week (or, as our selections indicate, Thursday). -Tim [Your Watch This Now! newsletter is created by Senior Recommendations and Reviews Editor Tim Surette and more show-obsessed editors at TV Guide!](WFukoRHmN:m:1:2364960064:47860686DECAF93C8883345B5119EBA2:r) WFukoRHmN:m:1:2364960064:47860686DECAF93C8883345B5119EBA2:r SEASON 2 PREMIERES THURSDAY ON PEACOCK [Let’s watch Girls5eva 3gether](WFukoRHmN:m:1:2364960064:47860686DECAF93C8883345B5119EBA2:r) One of my favorite shows that got me through the pandemic lockdown was this goofy escape about a girl band from the ‘90s that tries to reunite today. Except they’re 20 years older, one of them acts even older than that, and one of them is dead. Produced by 30 Rock’s Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, it’s a fast-moving comedy with more jokes in a minute than most shows have by their first commercial break. The cast is excellent, led by a [truly inspiring performance by Reneé Elise Goldsberry](WFukoRHmN:m:1:2364960064:47860686DECAF93C8883345B5119EBA2:r) as a diva with everything but the fame and fortune, and should only get better with the Season 2 additions of Amy Sedaris and Neil Flynn. Yes, Girls5eva is returning on 5/5, which is very 5tuitous. WFukoRHmN:m:1:2364960064:47860686DECAF93C8883345B5119EBA2:r SERIES PREMIERES THURSDAY ON NETFLIX [The Pentaverate features many Mike Myerses](WFukoRHmN:m:1:2364960064:47860686DECAF93C8883345B5119EBA2:r) Yeah, baby! Mike Myers is back! (Can you sense my fake enthusiasm?) Let’s give the comedian who gave us “Zip it!” a chance, though. Myers stars in this Netflix comedy miniseries about a man who thinks he’s stumbled upon an elite Illuminati-ish group that controls everything. Of course, Myers plays over a half dozen characters in this, with various wigs, facial hair, and accents, so if you still find Austin Powers funny, you might dig this.

WFukoRHmN:m:1:2364960064:47860686DECAF93C8883345B5119EBA2:r SERIES PREMIERES THURSDAY ON HBO MAX [The Staircase steps over other true crime adaptations](WFukoRHmN:m:1:2364960064:47860686DECAF93C8883345B5119EBA2:r) It's a banner year for true crime cases getting turned into scripted miniseries, so this adaptation of The Staircase — considered one of the greatest true crime series ever — is comfortably slotting right in among the rest (and [it’s one of the best reviewed](WFukoRHmN:m:1:2364960064:47860686DECAF93C8883345B5119EBA2:r), too). Colin Firth plays the author Michael Peterson, who in 2003 was convicted of murdering his wife after claiming she died by falling down the stairs (his charges were later reduced to manslaughter). The starry cast also includes Toni Collette, Parker Posey, Sophie Turner, and Michael Stuhlbarg. Three episodes are out Thursday, with new episodes coming weekly.

[What’s new on Hulu in May](WFukoRHmN:m:1:2364960064:47860686DECAF93C8883345B5119EBA2:r) It’s May, do you know what you’re watching on, oh, I dunno, May 27? Well, we can tell you that Shoresy, the Letterkenny spin-off that finally lets us see the insult-spewing hockey bro’s face, is out that day. It’s one of many Hulu releases in the month, which also include Jessica Biel’s true crime drama Candy.
