What to Watch podcast: Bridgerton returns to smolder once more in season 2
This weekend, Bridgerton is finally back for its second smoldering season, with attention turning to eldest Bridgerton child Anthony, played by Jonathan Bailey, as he tries to find a wife, while Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) tries to conceal her identity as Lady Whistledown from everyone, including her close friend Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie). Plus: Bailey answers our question "Whatcha Watchin'?"
It's also time for the Oscars, where we have three hosts (Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, and Regina Hall), a close race for Best Picture between The Power of the Dog and CODA, and Will Smith possibly going home with his first win.
Olivia Rodrigo tells us about her new Disney+ film, driving home 2 u (a Sour film), while Lizzo searches for dancers with big talent and confident curves to join her on tour on her Amazon Prime Video docuseries Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
And finally, Apple TV+ debuts the new series Pachinko, based on the popular novel of the same name, starring 2021 Oscar winner Youn Yuh-Jung. EW critic Kristen Baldwin calls it an early front-runner for the Best Show of 2022.
Plus, entertainment headlines, including one cancellation and several show renewals and announcements at Netflix; our Sound Bite of the Week courtesy of The Lost City star Sandra Bullock; and trivia.
