Netflix has set a May 27, 2026 premiere date for the six-episode second season of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. Emma Myers returns to star as Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amboi in the young adult drama based on Holly Jackson’s novel Good Girl, Bad Blood.

Matthew Read, Simon Crawford Collins, Frith Tiplady, Lucy Richer, Danielle Scott-Haughton, and Katherine Bond serve as executive producers. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder season two is produced by Moonage Pictures for BBC iPlayer and BBC Three in co-production with Netflix and ZDFneo.

Amidst new friends, fresh joy, and many different and nuanced relationships, Henri also finds secrets, lies, difficulty, and denial—leading her to question everything about herself, her heritage, and her family.”
Executive producers include Michaela Coel, Sam Miller, Jesse Armstrong, Phil Clarke, Roberto Troni, and Jo McClellan. Johann Knobel is on board as a producer, and Miller will direct. The series is a Various Artists Limited production, co-produced by HBO and the BBC in association with A24.
Kaitlin Olson in ‘High Potential’ season 2 (Disney/Christine Bartolucci)
ABC’s High Potential season two, episode 17 serves up robbers breaking into vaults, Morgan’s kids preparing for Mother’s Day, and Lucia and Karadec getting all hot and steamy. And that’s just in the episode’s first minute! If that’s not enough, next up is a shirtless Captain Nick Wagner finishing up jogging by kissing his adorable dog’s face.
(The following is a recap of season two, episode 17 – “Second Sunday” – and there are spoilers.)
The case of the week involves robberies at Canyon Gate Private Vaults. Wagner (Steve Howey) inserts himself in the case, for some unknown reason, and Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) describes the facility as a “storage closet for rich hoarders.” The robbers wiped the cameras so they’re useless. And the facility’s equipped with biometric access and redundant systems, but they were all bypassed.
The sole guard on duty was ex-SEAL Dean O’Connell and his ID was found, but he’s gone missing. There are assorted items from different vaults in the hallway, and lots of expensive items can be seen inside the open vaults. Morgan wonders why they left so much stuff behind and then shushes Karadec (Daniel Sunjata) and Wagner when she hears banging. It turns out the missing guard was beaten and locked inside a locker.
Dean reveals four robbers approached him from behind, hit him with a gun, and placed him into the locker. Dean didn’t see any of the robbers and doesn’t want to guess their heights or weights. However, one might have been chewing peppermint gum.
The business’s owner arrives and Morgan can’t help herself when he says not to touch a client’s box. She opens it and finds a hard drive, which the owner confirms was all that was inside vault 312 before the robbery. The owner describes the sensors inside the vault as being able to monitor the air temperature, air quality, and humidity. According to the sensors, vault 312 was the last one broken into.
Back at the station, Oz (Deniz Akdeniz) confirms a neighbor’s security cameras caught the robbers at 9:55pm. (They were wearing wolf, pig, mouse, and goat masks.) Vault 312 was rented by Alpheus Hodges, and Morgan’s the only one who recognizes the name of LA’s first mayor. Hodges has been dead 150 years.
Daphne (Javicia Leslie) reports the crew only stole a bottle of wine worth $90,000. Morgan walks the team through the timeline and points out vault 312’s temperature spiked and remained high until the time the robbers left. But it wasn’t the bodies that kept it warm; it was technology. They copied the hard drive and then left it behind.
A print on the hard drive belongs to Mitchell Huston and Karadec and Wagner head out to speak with him. Before they leave, Morgan asks Wagner why this case has him so worked up. He doesn’t reply.
Karadec and Wagner find Mitchell’s front door broken in and Mitchell dead from a bullet to the chest. He was an LA City Clerk and Morgan points out his apartment is a shrine to the City of Angels. But Morgan can’t figure out why he lives in a place like this yet can afford a private vault.
Daphne texts Karadec with an update that Morgan didn’t pay for the vault. He signed the contract, but the city of LA was paying for it. Wagner volunteers to speak with people at City Hall, which makes Morgan’s spidey senses tingle. After he leaves, Morgan tells Karadec that Wagner specifically asked dispatch to notify him if there were any major robberies. (She has a friend in dispatch.)
The team learns Mitchell was a top-level clerk and it’s likely he made enemies, including employees he had to fire.
Morgan sneaks a look around Wagner’s office. She finds files that reveal Wagner’s dealt with this crew before and nearly caught them in Oakland. His fiancée, Taylor Lawson (also an officer), was killed by the crew, so this is personal. Wagner doesn’t want to tell the team, but Morgan assures him letting them know everything he knows is how they’ll catch these guys.
LA’s mayor arrives and shuts down the team’s IT guy’s attempts to access the hard drive. He won’t say what’s on it but reveals they trusted Mitchell to keep City Hall safe from terrorist threats. Two threats in 2025 came from inside City Hall and that’s why they kept the hard drive in an outside vault. Morgan reminds the mayor that someone already made a copy of it, and wonders if there’s compromising material about him on the hard drive.
Wagner threatens to make this investigation public and the mayor reluctantly offers to allow him to look at the hard drive. Wagner agrees but only if Morgan looks at it too. The mayor calls the hard drive the city’s last resort brain and admits he doesn’t even know everything that’s on it. It’s how the city comes back online if LA goes dark. Whoever stole it can cripple the city and create panic.
Morgan is given the chance to look through all the data and confirms the thieves can shut down the power grid, poison the water, and scramble air traffic. Wagner thinks they’re going to rob the city, not destroy it. Oz rushes in with a list of 32 employees Mitchell fired, and Wagner orders them to start digging into each of them immediately.
Lt. Selena Soto (Judy Reyes) informs Karadec that Willa got to the chief and they’ve been told to stop tailing her. Selena confirms they’re not the ones tailing her and suggests it’s the FBI.
Morgan realizes Lyle couldn’t get into the hard drive, which means the crew needed a hacker on the inside. The fired list includes Colton Palmisano, a good hacker who was fired for speaking out against city hall.
Wagner, Karadec, and Morgan visit Colton and he claims he got fired from IT at city hall for “caring too loudly.” He liked Mitchell and seems genuinely surprised he was murdered. Colton confesses he worked with the robbers because they assured him the hard drive would be used to force change. Morgan thinks he’s too smart not to have insurance against going to prison, and Colton confesses he put a tracker on the burner phone the robbers used.
He pulls up the location and SWAT rushes there, along with Karadec, Oz, and Wagner. An officer steps on an IED and it explodes, giving the robbers a chance to escape. One points directly at Wagner and mimics shooting him.
Morgan joins the team in the warehouse and wonders what the robbers were doing there. It looks like they set up a maze, and Wagner thinks that they were rehearsing.
Back at the station, Morgan looks at a La Bodega Market receipt collected at the warehouse. Why did they stop to shop six miles from their hide-out? Morgan thinks there’s something she’s missing, and it bothers her. Karadec suggests they leave it until tomorrow, but of course Morgan’s going to take some of the evidence home.
Wagner’s still at the scene and Morgan heads there too before going home. He’s upstairs looking down at the robbers’ practice maze, drinking the evidence. Wagner’s upset he was so close to the man who killed his fiancée and he takes it out on Morgan. She says she’s sorry his fiancée died and confesses sometimes she wishes Roman died too.
Morgan grabs the bottle and orders Wagner to get in her car. Morgan drives him home and he immediately greets his bulldog, Ingrid. Morgan gives Ingrid some attention too, and then Wagner stares at framed photos of his fiancée, Taylor. He reveals he was shot three times during the robbery but they all missed vital organs. Taylor was shot in her femoral artery and bled out in his arms.
Morgan helps him up and Wagner is ready to kiss her, but she turns and leaves.
Morgan lays in bed and goes over the evidence in her head. She visualizes the warehouse and suddenly figures it out. The following morning, she tells the team it’s not a maze; the robbers created a map that resembles what she saw on the hard drive. The map is of outdated tunnels under the city. Some of the tunnels are still accessible, and whatever the robbers are after they can get via the tunnels without anyone knowing.
Suddenly, alarms go off and the city is under a cyberattack. Soto sends officers to the port, the department of water and power, and the reservoir. Wagner arrives with news that the mayor pulled them from the case because he wants his own task force. He’s going to ignore the order and keep the team on the investigation.
Morgan takes a minute to answer a call from Lido and the kids, and they’re excited to tell her they’re going indoor camping for Mother’s Day. Lido mentions the credit card machines were down in the flower district and Morgan ties together the clues. The robbers are after a lot of cash that they’ll get in three locations: the flower, diamond, and fashion districts downtown. Together they’ll do $18+ million in business because of Mother’s Day.
If they take down the credit card machines, people will have to pay in cash. The stores will be sending excess cash into pneumatic tubes that go underground and into collection sites where they remain until an armored car picks them up. One of the collection sites is directly under the Mexican market on the receipt Morgan was confused about earlier.
Every other alert is just a distraction from this heist.
The robbers are emptying each tube as it lands just as the team enters the market. The team heads into the basement and Morgan convinces Karadec to let her go too, since she’s the only one who knows the tunnels.
They’re close when a sensor the robbers set up alerts the robbers they have company. A shootout ensues before the robbers make a run for it. Karadec’s able to knock one out, and Oz and Daphne disarm and cuff another. A robber finds Morgan attempting to hide and is about to shoot her when Wagner saves her life and shoots him. Wagner calls in for backup and EMTs as Karadec confirms two others are in custody. That leaves one, and Morgan thinks he’s making his way to the south exit. She knows that exit’s closed and thinks they can cut him off.
Wagner lets Morgan show him the way, and they spot the robber with a bag of cash. He opens fire and bullets fly until the robber needs to reload. Wagner orders him to kick over his weapon and is distracted when he notices the handle matches the gun that killed his fiancée. The robber attacks Wagner but Wagner’s got rage and adrenaline on his side. He keeps punching the robber longer than he needs to and doesn’t stop until Morgan says it’s not what Taylor would want. Karadec takes over the arrest.
Later, Morgan’s getting ready to leave work when Karadec tells her she did amazing and he’s glad she’s all right. Lucia rushes in and breaks up their private moment, pulling Karadec in for a hug, relieved that he’s okay.
Morgan makes it to the restroom before allowing herself to break down.
Soto grabs Karadec for a minute and informs him Hayworth is dead. They’re saying it was a suicide but neither believes it. Soto also received photos from their surveillance of Willa that show her meeting with Nick Wagner Sr. Now they need to try and figure out if Captain Wagner is involved with the Roman case for the right reasons.
Morgan steps into the elevator and Nick’s already there. She asks if he’s okay and they kiss. After they pull away, Nick assures her he’s okay. He says goodnight and leaves.
Morgan celebrates Mother’s Day with Lido and the kids in the campsite set up in her living room. They cook smores, take photos, and make memories.
Mamma mia! The Super Mario Brothers are back on the big screen in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a sequel to the 2023 film that has them traveling across the galaxy on a rescue mission.
When Princess Rosalina (Brie Larson) is taken prisoner by Bowser Jr. (Benny Safdie) in an effort to free his father and create the ultimate weapon, it falls upon the Mario Brothers – (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) – to travel the galaxy and save her.
Joining the famous plumber brothers on this zany space adventure are Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy) and their new dinosaur friend, Yoshi (Donald Glover).
While the Mario brothers are kept hopping, Bowser (Jack Black), who was once the most dangerous enemy of the Super Mario Brothers, is dealing with some life-changing ideas that might not go along well with his son’s plans.
Directed once again by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is a visually bright, colorful sequel that has bigger, more action-packed scenes but lacks heart and an interesting script. It’s a loud, colorful, chaotic mess of jumbled action scenes that would work much better in a video game. In fact, the video game that inspired the film is more creative and entertaining.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has a hugely talented voice cast bringing the video game characters to life. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much enthusiasm behind the voices. Chris Pratt and Anya Taylor-Joy are almost phoning it in with their practically unemotional delivery of lines. The same can be said of Brie Larson, who voices the new character, Princess Rosalina.
Only Jack Black and Benny Safdie shine as the voices of Bowser and Bowser Jr. Black gives Bowser a real emotional range, wanting to be a “good dad” but not sure if conquering everyone in the galaxy is the right thing to do anymore. Safdie delivers the best vocal performance as Bowser Jr., who idolizes his dad and is determined to rule the galaxy with him. The father and son duo are by far the most entertaining characters in the film.
Glen Powell delivers a spot-on vocal performance as the new character Fox McCloud, the cocky space pilot helping Mario, Luigi, and Peach travel across the galaxy on their quest. Powell would rank up there with Black and Safdie’s performances, but sadly doesn’t get enough screen time to make a real impact.
Visually bright but soulless, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is sure to entertain children and diehard fans of the video games while the adults and the rest of the audience count the minutes until the credits roll.

CBS’s Sheriff Country returns from a three-week break with part one of a two-part Fire Country crossover event. Fire Country‘s Max Thieriot, Diane Farr, and Jules Latimer guest star on episode 13, airing on Friday, April 3, 2026 at 8pm ET/PT.
“The Finest” Plot: After a mysterious school bus explosion leaves nine students missing, Sheriff Mickey Fox and Cal Fire Division Chief Sharon Leone must set aside their personal conflicts and unite their departments to try and crack the case.
Morena Baccarin leads the cast as Mickey Fox, Matt Lauria plays Nathan Boone, W. Earl Brown is Wes Fox, Michele Weaver plays Cassidy Campbell, and Christopher Gorham stars as Travis Fraley.

Morena Baccarin stars as straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox, the stepsister of Cal Fire’s division chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr of Fire Country). She investigates criminal activity while she patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater, contending with her ex-con father, Wes (W. Earl Brown), who is an off-the-grid marijuana grower, and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter.
A classroom’s field trip to a Milwaukee museum is interrupted by a siren as CBS’s Tracker season three, episode 14 begins. A teacher, Mr. Brooks, rushes back inside to try and find one of the students. Apparently, he doesn’t find the child since this is Colter’s missing person’s case of the week.
(The following is a recap of season three, episode 14 – “The Field Trip” – and there are spoilers.)
Sara (Elyse Levesque) and James Clark (Jon Beavers) desperately need Colter’s help finding their eight-year-old son Alex, who’s been missing for five hours. There’s a huge police presence at the museum, and Alex’s mom confirms the police initially assumed Alex wandered off. Sara and James believe Alex was taken, and James is angry at the cops for not appearing to be doing enough to help.
Colter (Justin Hartley) introduces himself to Detective Monroe (Luvia Petersen) and she’s willing to accept his help. They’re working on interviewing anyone who might have seen anything, and there aren’t any security cameras in the area where Alex was last seen. Plus, they don’t know who pulled the alarm.
James and Colter retrace Alex’s steps, and the exhibit manager lets Colter and James into a staff area that leads to the loading dock. The door was locked to the area, but if Alex was with a staff person, they would have had access.
Colter scans the loading dock and learns the police didn’t search this area. He spots a cleaning cart, and underneath is a sticker with the school mascot that kids are given during field trips. Colter believes the person who took Alex might be an employee who knows the camera locations and learns Sylvia Sloane was the custodian working that morning. Sylvia left right after the fire alarm, and Randy (Chris Lee) learns she has a few drug charges. More importantly, Sylvia had a psychotic break, and her husband divorced her and got custody of their two boys.
Colter reluctantly agrees to let James tag along on his visit to Sylvia’s place. James is a talker and confesses he’s worried he’s not doing a good enough job raising Alex. They arrive at Sylvia’s place and Colter orders James to stay in the truck. Colter heads around back of the house and, of course, James gets out of the truck just as Sylvia (Brittany Willacy) and a man jog up. James demands to know where Alex is and she has no idea what he’s talking about.
James gets into it with Sylvia’s friend, Mike (Keon Lyn), and punches him in the face. Mike’s a much better fighter and Sylvia tries to pull him off James. Colter helps and gets Mike to back off, and Sylvia orders him to go inside while they clear things up. Colter shows her a photo of Alex, and Sylvia seems stunned that they think she could have taken James’ son. Sylvia claims she was a stay-at-home mom when her husband divorced her and tried to take their kids. She got angry, threw a brick through his window, and lost in court. Now, she’s working hard to make money to fight her ex for their boys.
After everyone calms down, Sylvia says she thinks she saw Alex with his teacher and describes Mr. Brooks perfectly. Mr. Brooks told her they were lost and asked to use the employee exit. She opened the exit and they left.
James apologizes profusely, confused about why Mr. Brooks would have taken Alex. He used to tutor him after school, and James has his address, which isn’t far away. Colter has James hang out there while he heads to Brooks’ place. This time James agrees.
It’s nighttime when Colter arrives at Brooks’ apartment and lets himself in. Lights are on inside and Colter looks around and spots Brooks’ computer. Alex’s mom’s Facebook page is on it, and next to the laptop are drawings Alex made. One is of Alex and Brooks titled My Special Friend.
Colter takes a photo of Alex’s drawing of a house with a yellow door.
Detective Monroe arrives and Colter fills her in on what he’s learned. She interviewed Brooks this morning, and now she has an alert out for his car. Colter believes the alarm went off and since Alex is sensitive to sounds, Brooks told him he could take him somewhere safe. After taking him somewhere, Brooks went back inside and pretended he couldn’t find Alex.
Randy discovers Brooks’ car is parked on Alex’s street. Colter heads there and sees Sara getting ready to leave to pick up James from the hospital. She’s confused about why Brooks’ car would be out front, and Colter asks about another neighbor. Sara describes her neighbor, Noah, as having similar looks to Brooks. He’s been teaching Alex to play chess.
Colter thinks it wasn’t Brooks but Noah who took Alex. The house Alex drew had a yellow door, like Noah’s, and Brooks must have looked through Alex’s art after he disappeared and found the house with the yellow door.
Colter approaches Noah’s place, gun drawn, and notices there’s been a struggle inside. He breaks the glass door and enters, with Sara close behind him. The chess board is turned over, and Brooks’ phone is on the floor. Colter believes Brooks confronted Noah and was injured. Ice cream on the counter and a game indicate Noah was taking care of Alex, so he probably hasn’t hurt him.
Colter and Sara look around upstairs and find a telescope set up looking directly into Alex’s room. Noah got Alex and his parents to trust him and then took Alex. Colter promises he will find him.
Randy checks out Noah and finds he has a sketchy record and was reported for hanging out outside of a preschool. His phone’s off so that doesn’t help, but Colter spots a digital photo frame and Randy hacks into it. There’s a photo of Noah at a cabin and the metadata shows it’s in a local marsh where there’s only one cabin. And that cabin is owned by Noah’s father.
Meanwhile, Noah’s watching cartoons at the cabin with Noah. He wants to call his mom, but Noah claims she’s still at work. Noah warns Alex to stay inside and keep watching cartoons while he steps outside and pulls Brooks from the trunk of his car. Brooks briefly manages to fight him off before Noah hits him with an axe in the stomach.
Alex watches the fight from the porch and runs off into the woods. Noah chases after him with the bloody axe.
Colter finds Brooks still alive but injured. He gives Brooks his phone and has him call 9-1-1 while he chases after Alex and Noah. Colter hears Noah screaming Alex’s name and follows his voice.
Noah spots Alex hiding behind a tree, and Colter hears whimpering as he approaches. Colter leaps out and knocks down Noah, holding him at gunpoint as he orders Alex to turn away. Colter’s on the verge of shooting him but instead kicks him hard enough to break a few ribs.
Colter assures Noah he’s safe and that his parents are on their way. Detective Monroe and backup arrive along with an ambulance. Colter holds Alex until his parents arrive and the family is finally reunited.
Catching up on Reenie (Fiona Rene), and she’s visiting Kurtis Lauper, a possible witness in Miranda’s case. He refuses to help and seems scared and frustrated about the lawsuit against the huge property group. Reenie won’t take no for an answer, and he finally agrees to talk. Lauper, the former project manager at a housing development, confesses that his breath started getting short when he was moving dirt there. Then he noticed they were using contaminated products instead of approved insulation. He hands over a stack of evidence he’s compiled and confirms he never agreed to take their money, so they made him look crazy. He was even committed by his ex-wife.
Lauper refuses to allow Reenie to take the files. She assures him she’s on his side, he doesn’t need to fight alone anymore, and she will make the company pay.
Reenie meets with Maxine (Kathleen Robertson), who brought her on to the case, and confirms Lauper provided important information that goes beyond just a company cutting corners. There’s a case to be made for wrongful death, witness intimidation, and obstruction of justice. Reenie believes Lauper is telling the truth, and Maxine agrees to trust her gut.
Episode 14 ends with Colter visiting Brooks at the hospital and he’s upset with himself for not calling the police sooner. He went to see Alex’s parents to talk about Alex’s drawings in class and that’s when he saw the yellow door. Colter compliments his instincts and assures him he’s very brave.
James runs into Colter in the hospital hallway and hands over the reward. The family’s doing well, and it’s all thanks to Colter. James apologizes for his behavior and reveals he’s going to spend more time with his son. Colter reminds him he has a second chance with his son, something not many parents get.
