 The 2025 NFL Draft is coming at the end of April. It kicks off on Thursday, April 24. The next class of NFL players will be in the league, and on our fantasy teams.

We’re into April and that means Spring and some longer days and warmer temperatures. But there is still plenty of TV options, especially as we near the Emmy consideration window. What of these new shows is worth your time to check? Let this weekly post be your guide as I review the pilot and second episode of new scripted series. Wednesdays: The Studio, Streaming Wednesdays on Apple TV+ (Premiered March 26) About : This new show comes from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
