Here’s a collection curated by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists of what’s arriving on TV, streaming services and music platforms this week.
MOVIES
— “Enola Holmes”: It’s somewhat fitting that “Stranger Things” breakout Millie Bobby Brown gets her first starring role in a Netflix film, “Enola Holmes,” coming to the streamer Wednesday. (To be fair, it was supposed to be a theatrical release from Warner Bros. before COVID took its toll on the release calendar.) But it’ll reintroduce her to the base that made her famous. Brown plays Sherlock’s (Superman himself, Henry Cavill) little sister in this adaptation of the Nancy Springer mystery series.
— “Judy”: Miss out on Renée Zellweger’s Oscar-winning turn as Judy Garland? Time to get happy because “Judy” is coming to Hulu Friday. Inspired by Peter Quilter’s play “End of the Rainbow,” "Judy” looks at some of Garland’s last years of life, in late 1968 and early 1969 during a series of shows in London when her star has faded in the U.S. and she’s seen as a tragic liability. Zellweger makes the late icon come alive again with profound vulnerability, sadness and a wickedly dark sense of

— With the blink-182’s Travis Barker in the executive producer chair, rapper and rocker Machine Gun Kelly is releasing his fifth album on Friday. “Tickets to My Downfall” features 15 tracks, including collaborations with Halsey, Trippie Redd, blackbear and Iann Dior. The single “bloody valentine” won MGK the MTV Video Music Award for best alternative last month. Outside of music, the 30-year-old entertainer can be seen in the recent Netflix film “Project Power,” opposite Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

TELEVISION
— All those feeling stuck in place by the pandemic, here’s your chance to soar across the universe. “Cosmos: Possible Worlds,” returns for its third season at 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday on Fox. Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson hosts the series produced, written and directed by Ann Druyan, who worked with her Carl Sagan, her late husband, on the groundbreaking 1980 “Cosmos” documentary. The newest installment, created in partnership with the National Geographic Channel, promises to reveal “previously uncharted realms,” including worlds that humans may one day inhabit. NatGeo had first dibs, airing the series earlier this year, but such worthy escapism is worth revisiting.
— PBS’ “Frontline” series continues its three-decade tradition of examining the two major party presidential candidates with “The Choice 2020: Trump vs. Biden,” airing Tuesday on PBS stations (check local listings for time). The documentary offers what’s described as “interwoven investigative biographies” of President Donald Trump and former
