5 top new shows to stream this week on Netflix, Apple TV and more (July 21-27)
The heat wave isn't just outside — TV's heating up, too. With new shows premiering this week on Netflix, Apple TV Plus and other streaming services, as well as on broadcast and cable TV, the small screen is sizzling. There's plenty to keep you entertained. 'The Sandman' season 2 volume 2 concludes the dark fantasy story of Dream, while the historical drama "Washington Black" chronicles a voyage of freedom and discovery. Plus, "South Park" is set to begin its 27th season (maybe). Here are our top picks for new TV shows to watch this week. 'Acapulco' is back for one last splash. In its final season, the bilingual comedy jumps between present-day Máximo (Eugenio Derbez), trying to bring Las Colinas back to life, and 1986, where young Máximo (Enrique Arrizon) is pulling every trick in the book to reclaim the hotel's top spot in Acapulco. Grab a cocktail to toast one more trip to paradise that will be filled with nostalgia, neon and bittersweet memories. Episodes 1-2 premiere Wednesday, July 23 at 12 a.m. ET on Apple TV Plus This epic limited series charts the extraordinary life of a boy who refuses to be defined by the world that enslaved him. Born on a Barbados sugar plantation, young Wash (played by Eddie Karanja as a boy and by Ernest Kingsley Jr. as a young man) escapes with the help of an eccentric inventor (Tom Ellis). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Wash's globe-spanning odyssey involves flying machines, bounty hunters, Arctic expeditions and the sometimes painful discovery of what freedom really means. Based on Esi Edugyan's acclaimed novel, the drama features Sterling K. Brown as the narrator and protector. All 8 episodes premiere Wednesday, July 23 at 12 a.m. ET on Hulu 'South Park' returns … maybe? Season 27 is supposed to drop July 23, but the date is still shaky as Trey Parker and Matt Stone are in the middle of a $3 billion 's**t show' (their words) with Paramount and Skydance. But if it does drop, expect the usual expletive-laden chaos. The trailer teases ketamine trips, jetpack Diddy, a war with Canada and plumbing disasters (ew). The streaming rights mess is a headache, but the satire's still sharp. Episode 1 premieres Wednesday, July 23 at 10 p.m. ET on Comedy Central (via Sling or Fubo) Andy Samberg's washed-up archaeologist Rip Digman is back, and the adventures are crazier and the guest stars are somehow even bigger this time around. Rip, still rocking his unplaceable accent, embarks on more meth-fueled globetrotting and ancient artifact nonsense. If Indiana Jones and Zoolander had a bonkers animated baby, this would be it. Mitra Jouhari, Tim Robinson, Melissa Fumero and the rest of the crew return, joined by a truly bonkers roster of guest voices, including Mark Hamill, Kate Winslet and Jeffrey Wright. Episode 1 premieres Wednesday, July 23 at 10:30 p.m. ET on Comedy Central (via Sling or Fubo) When last we saw Dream (Tom Sturridge), he did the one thing the Endless are forbidden to do: He killed his own son. Now, in volume 2, the fallout begins. The Kindly Ones are coming, the Dreaming is unraveling and Morpheus is left to reckon with the cost of mercy. These final five episodes bring the story to its breaking point, as Dream faces gods, monsters and the consequences of centuries of pride. Even Destiny (Adrian Lester) can't promise a way out. And when the dust settles, next week's bonus episode centered on Death (Kirby Howell-Baptiste) delivers one last, devastating grace note. All 5 episodes premiere Thursday, July 24 at 3 a.m. ET on Netflix

‘The Gilded Age': How The HBO Drama Created A Castle Fit For A New Duchess
Gladys deserves the mother of all castles after the ordeal she went through in New York City. But production didn't need to go to England to find the perfect home for the new Duchess of Buckingham. Two different estates in Newport, R.I. — along with one in Long Island — served as Sidmouth Castle in the episode titled 'A Different World.' To achieve the opening shot, however, director Deborah Kampmeier relied on an actual pond in England to project the image of Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) and Hector (Ben Lamb) riding a carriage through the estate grounds. More from Deadline 'The Gilded Age' Courts Another Series High Audience With Season 3 Wedding Episode Carrie Coon Talks Emmy Nomination, Future Of 'The Gilded Age' & Whether She'd Return For 'The White Lotus' Season 4 Emmys 2025: Where's My Show? Why Some Of Your Favorites Won't Be Nominated This Year 'We put the visual effect of the carriage in upside down in the water, and then the wide shot of it moving through the countryside. That's England,' said Kampmeier. 'And then as we approach the castle, that is an approach to an estate in Newport. We brought in background actors to converge upon the carriage, and then a big crane goes up and over. We actually built onto what was already there in our visual effects. That's one piece of the puzzle.' The entrance and several of the castle rooms featured in the episode are from the Newport estates, while the sitting room and long hallways are from a mansion in Long Island. 'It is a collage that we use to create this epic castle feeling of a castle, using what we had available to us,' the director said. 'We've used up pretty much every mansion in Newport.' While Gladys is certainly accustomed to living in a large house, her new one has to feel to feel different — and so much worse. 'It was important to feel like she's walking into a very cold, very epic space in which she feels isolated and alone,' said Kampmeier. 'We decided to keep it quite gray, to reflect both a feeling of England since we were not in England and to reflect a feeling of that location as well as the inner life of Gladys … just this gray, isolated, lost girl who's really like a fish out of water.' Directing for The Gilded Age is 'an extravagant experience,' adds Kampmeier, who also helmed episode 2 and the upcoming episode 6. 'This is a show where it's very luxurious to be able to create a really epic shot that is going to stay in the final cut because the audience is asking for it rather than jumping right to a closeup,' said Kampmeier, whose other credits include Outer Range, Star Trek: Picard, FBI: International and Tales of the Walking Dead.
