This week’s TV lineup is boldly going where your watchlist has gone before: straight into a packed schedule of new TV shows premiering this week on Netflix, Paramount+ and more of the best streaming services. I’ve rounded up the biggest arrivals, from ranch showdowns and zombie fights to trips across the final frontier.
Head back to Texas for romantic drama in "Ransom Canyon" season 2 or animated antics in "King of the Hill" season 14. If you're craving space adventures, "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" season 4 sets course for alien planets. Meanwhile, "The Walking Dead: Dead City" season 3 teams up Maggie and Negan in the unlikeliest of alliances.
Here’s my guide to what’s new on TV this week.
‘King of the Hill’ season 15 (Hulu)
The vibes: Older? Yes. Wiser? Hell no.
The plot: Time has marched on, but Rainey Street is as gloriously dysfunctional as ever. Hank and Peggy discover retirement is not quite as relaxing as they expected. Meanwhile, Bobby finds adulting to be a mad scramble of balancing old friendships with the growing pains of running his own business.
Premiere date: All 10 episodes on Monday, July 20 at 12 a.m ET
Where to watch: Hulu
‘Ransom Canyon’ season 2 (Netflix)
The vibes: Choosin’ Texas and all of its outsized romantic complications.
The plot: Six months after leaving for New York, Quinn O'Grady (Minka Kelly) returns just as rancher Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel) decides he's ready to fight for their relationship. Unfortunately, Quinn now has another suitor in the picture. As the ranching rivalries continue to simmer and newcomers shake up the town, just about everyone gets caught in a web of romance, betrayal and intrigue.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ season 4 (Paramount+)
The vibes: Boldly going back to character-driven “Star Trek.”
The plot: Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) leads the Enterprise into a fresh round of cosmic adventures that trades one overarching menace for more character-focused storytelling. Along the way, Pike, Spock (Ethan Peck) and James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) face terrifying aliens, emotional reckonings, a deepening friendship, and one very weird (checks notes) puppet adventure.

‘The Walking Dead: Dead City’ season 3 (AMC)
The vibes: The enemy of my enemy is my … friend?
The plot: After years of circling each other over the same old grudge, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) finally join forces and put aside their hatred to build a new community in Manhattan. But as new dangers emerge, including a bizarrely unsettling lone wolf named Dillard (Jimmi Simpson), the unlikely duo must decide whether they can truly trust each other.
