Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Paradise, and more new TV this week

It’s new-on-TV time! And if you like strange twisty mysteries, then boy does this week deliver, in the form of Sterling K. Brown as a Secret Service agent. There’s more to his story — and that of Paradise, the show he’s the lead of — but its flashback-filled riddles make it a perfect pulpy watch for the moment. But that’s not all! There’s also new Spider-Man — as in, a new Spider-Man show featuring a new version of Peter Parker. And not for nothing, it’s another great week to watch new episodes of Severance and Harley Quinn. Here’s all the best new TV premieres of the week. Table of Contents New shows on Netflix The Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse season 2 [Media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1iFTbwtURk] Genre: Fantasy Release date: Jan. 30, with all episodes Studio: TMS Entertainment The long-awaited second season of Seven Deadly Sins: Four Knights of the Apocalypse is picking up where the first season left off (some 78 chapters or so into the plot of the manga). As you may recall, season 1 ended with Arthur descending from the sky to assess the Four Knights’ strength — and effortlessly deflecting and immobilizing his opponents. Perhaps important to note: Episode 1 is called “The Power of the King.” 👀 New shows on Disney Plus Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man [Media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3J2JRQg040] Genre: Animated superhero Release date: Jan. 29 Showrunner/creator: Jeff Trammell Cast: Hudson Thames, Charlie Cox, Colman Domingo, and more Spidey is back. But, as we’ve come to expect from Spider-Man stories at this point, in a totally different universe than we’ve seen him in. Animated in a style paying homage to the early Spider-Man comics, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man follows an alternate-timeline Peter Parker (Hudson Thames), allowing the show to be… whatever it wants to be — like, for instance, letting Norman Osborne (Colman Domingo) be his mentor.

Brown) going for a run, making breakfast for his children, and then showing up for work protecting a past president (James Marsden). And then he finds the president murdered, and all hell breaks loose, leaving Xavier to think fast as he tries to suss out why someone wanted the president dead.

Things are going well for him — he’s found a new kind of drug that can allegedly cure all illnesses. Of course they don’t want people to know about it, leading Marshall (and Frances) down the road of conspiracy, cover-up, and potentially danger.
