Good news for Marvel fans: "Agatha All Along" premiered this week.

And for DC fans, "The Penguin" did, too.
Matt Reeves' "The Batman" movie, starring Robert Pattinson as the DC comics hero, first introduced Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, this universe's version of the iconic villain the Penguin.
Now, Farrell stars and executive produces his own spinoff. Closer to "The Sopranos" than any superhero show, "The Penguin" delves further into the complicated gangster's psyche as he rises through the ranks of the criminal underworld after the death of mob boss Carmine Falcone in the 2022 movie.

True crime fans should check out "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story."
José and Kitty Menendez's murder at the hands of their two sons is one of the most infamous murder cases of all time — particularly because the brothers are still arguing for their release over 30 years after the crime.
Nicholas Alexander Chavez is a real standout as the explosive Lyle Menendez, the older brother.

It was the (almost) threesome seen around the world.

Reality fans can watch the new season of "The Golden Bachelorette."
The latest spinoff in the "Bachelor" franchise centers on Joan Vassos. The 61-year-old widow previously participated in Gerry Turner's season of "The Golden Bachelor," but left the show voluntarily in week three to be with her daughter, who was experiencing postpartum depression back at home.
