Each episode of Selena + Chef features the musician-actress tackling a new cuisine and guest stars a different professional chef, where they cover tips and tricks and how to deal with disasters in the kitchen. For each episode, the show donates $10,000 to the charity of the chef’s choice. The third season concluded last November, and fans have been eagerly waiting to see Gomez whip up some new dishes.

House of the Dragon Series Premiere — August 21

Spinoffs were surely inevitable for George R.R. Martin’s franchise that has journeyed from text to the small screen. House of the Dragon is a prequel to the wildly successful Game of Thrones, which aired from 2011-2019 — and HBO surely wants to replicate its success with the new series. The show, which follows House Targaryen 200 years before the events of Thrones, is primed to be the biggest show the streaming provider has seen since the original GOT series. The series stars Paddy Considine, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, and Matt Smith, among others.

First it was Kardashian, now it’s Ho. Season 2 of HBO Max’s entertaining docuseries about a filthy-rich Vietnamese family will certainly continue its mark on the reality genre of television. House of Ho follows the Ho family led by patriarch Binh and his wife Hue as they live out the American Dream in real-time. The storyline focuses on the traditions brought back by the immigrant family, their multigenerational perspectives on life in America and, of course, the drama that ties it all together.
