It List: Penn Badgley bids 'You' farewell, 'The Accountant 2' adds up, 'Andor' goes for one last ride
Hello, friends! I'm Kelsey, your guide to all things pop culture for Yahoo Entertainment, and this is the It List, our weekly rundown of what's new and notable. In it, I recommend a slew of upcoming releases to watch, stream, listen to, read and binge. I'll walk you through my favorites. When: is in theaters April 25. What to know: Nearly a decade after the original movie, this sequel follows socially awkward genius Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) as he teams up with his brother (Jon Bernthal) to investigate a murder. [People] Why I recommend it: It's a clever thriller and an even more delightful buddy comedy that made me giggle through my whole SXSW screening. Affleck leans into his greatest asset: bromance. [Yahoo Entertainment] When: is in theaters April 25. What to know: The latest stop on Jacob Elordi's quest to subvert your expectations is a queer love story about two misfits with a penchant for gambling. [Yahoo Entertainment/IndieWire] Why I recommend it: I saw the movie at TIFF, where director Daniel Minahan told me he cast both Daisy Edgar-Jones and Elordi because of their unknowable-yet-emotional qualities. I always love watching movies about beautiful people with dark secrets! [Yahoo Entertainment] When: by Emily Henry is out now. What to know: One of the books I'm most excited about is the latest book from reigning romance queen Emily Henry. It's about two very different authors who compete to write a former tabloid darling's memoir. [Yahoo Entertainment/People] Why I'll be reading: No one's doing it like Henry — I've read all her romance books, and she gives all her characters such fascinating depth beyond the love story. I can't wait till the inevitable rush to adapt them all for the screen. [USA Today] When: All 10 episodes of Season 5 are now streaming on Netflix. What to know: Oddly lovable killer Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) is back in New York for the thriller's final season after revealing his identity to the world. He's got a new love interest too, of course. [TVLine/Teen Vogue] Why I'll be bingeing: Had I completely forgotten everything that happened in the last season of this show? Yes. Did I regain the will to catch up and speed through its final batch of episodes after reading a single charming interview with Badgley? Also yes. [USA Today] When: The first three episodes of Season 2 are now streaming on Disney+. What to know: The Star Wars series follows the rebellion from the perspective of Rogue One's sacrificial hero, Cassian Andor (Diego Luna). This is also technically the show's final season, because it's working up to where that movie begins. [Glamour/The Wrap] Why I'll be bingeing: Disney's intellectual property machine can be kind of hit or miss — revisiting old stories and sometimes leaving fans disgruntled. What's refreshing about Andor is that pretty much everyone agrees it's really, really good. [Rolling Stone] Want more It List? Click here. Are there other things you're excited about?

Jordan plays twin brothers in the new horror thriller that unfolds over the course of one day in 1932. It involves blues music, vampires and Hailee Steinfeld. [IndieWire/People] Why I'll be watching: I booked my tickets to see it on the biggest possible screen after watching a viral video in which director Ryan Coogler broke down aspect ratios and formats for 10 minutes. That sounds niche — and it is — but it's also awesome. The clip has over 13 million views on X. [The Wrap] When: Season 2 premieres April 20 at 10:30 p.m. ET on Max. What to know: Comedian Nathan Fielder's show, in which he stages extravagant rehearsals for unconventional events, is back for a second season. This time, he's facilitating a role-playing exercise to simulate a plane crash. What could go wrong? [Variety] Why I'll be watching: Does Fielder make me cringe every time I see him on screen? Yes. Am I worried his shows are a little mean-spirited? Also yes. But he's responsible for putting the flawless series Nathan for You into the world, so I've got to hear him out. [The Wrap/BuzzFeed] When: by Jeneva Rose is out now. What to know: Jeneva Rose's internet-breaking thriller The Perfect Marriage has a sequel, but you don't even need the first book in the series to enjoy finding out how the whipsmart lawyer maneuvers herself out of a legal and marital pickle. [USA Today] Why I recommend it: Rose is constantly going viral on TikTok. She told me the secret to getting people to fall in love with her stories is only posting when she's in the mood. It helps that she loves to trick people — and she's got a real knack for it. [Yahoo Entertainment] When: All 10 episodes of are now streaming on Netflix. What to know: The new series stars Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly and combines the modern-day cowboys of Yellowstone with the small-town romantic drama of Virgin River. [Deadline] Why I'll be bingeing: Jack Schumacher, who plays a mysterious drifter, told me he had to go to 'cowboy camp' to handle all the horse-related action this show has to offer. Yeehaw! [Yahoo Entertainment] When: The first two episodes of premiere April 17 at 10 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. What to know: If you like your Law & Order procedurals with a bit more of a narrative through episodes, Organized Crime is for you.

[Rolling Stone] Why I'll be bingeing: Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's Olivia Benson visits Stabler in the hospital in the premiere, according to a new teaser. Their will-they-or-won't-they storyline spans literal decades. Will they finally kiss now? Probably not. I'll watch it anyway, just in case. [People] We'll be back next week with our latest picks.
