‘The Bachelor’ Season 27 Finale | ABC, Stream with a Subscription to Hulu + Live TV
After a heartbreaking departure from Gabby and Rachel’s season of “The Bachelorette,” Zach Shallcross’ journey to find love will conclude this week as the 27th season of “The Bachelor” comes to a close. Ariel was eliminated last week, which means the final two women left are Gabi and Kaity.
The Bachelor
A single bachelor dates multiple women over several weeks, narrowing them down to hopefully find his true love.
But which one will Zach choose for his happily ever after, and which will be the subject of next year’s season of “The Bachelorette?” It’s hard to believe that this series has been on the air for over 25 years, but considering the drama and passion displayed so far this season, it’s unlikely to be going away any time soon.

‘Wellmania’ Series Premiere | Netflix
Taking care of yourself stinks sometimes. Diet and exercise can be tedious at best, but when a health crisis forces Liv to rethink her “live fast, die young” attitude, she jumps into a wellness journey to get better — even if it kills her.
Watch a Trailer for ‘Wellmania’
This brand-new comedy series from Netflix explores a highly relatable topic to most viewers: getting in shape can really suck. The show explores themes of overcoming one’s deepest-seeded fears, and realizing the perceptions of others aren’t nearly as important as our own wellbeing.

‘Unstable’ Series Premiere | Netflix
The burdens of genius are often difficult to bear. Jackson Dragon, an introverted young man finds that out first hand when he is forced to work for his successful, wildly eccentric father in order to save his dad — and his company — from disaster.
This comedy series features Rob Lowe in the roll he was born to play: a narcissist-adjacent, yet highly capable man who has no idea how to interact with the people around him. That’s where his son comes in…hopefully. The series stars Lowe and his real-life son John Owen, which is sure to revive the talk of “nepotism babies” that is traveling Hollywood circles these days.

Check Out the Trailer for ‘Tetris’
If “Tetris” lives up to the potential of its trailer, this film is guaranteed to be a wild ride. It will combine elements of comedy, thrilling international espionage, and a deliciously ’80s soundtrack into a film experience that can’t be missed. If you think you knew everything you needed to know about the best block-stacking game ever created, think again.

Wrestlemania 39 | Peacock
The biggest pro wrestling event of the year starts April 1, as Wrestlemania goes Hollywood. The headlining contest of Wrestlemania 39 will be the universal championship match, which will see Roman Reigns defend his title against Cody Rhodes, who won January’s Royal Rumble event.
But there’s plenty more to watch at this year’s Wrestlemania, as well. Rhea Ripley chose take on Charlotte Flair for the Smackdown championship after winning the Royal Rumble, which meant that the winner of February’s Elimination Chamber match would face Bianca Belair. Asuka emerged victorious in that match, which means she’ll face Belair for the Raw women’s championship.

‘War Sailor’ Series Premiere | Netflix
When World War II erupts, it engulfs the entire European continent in chaos. This series follows the lives of two sailors on a Norwegian merchant ship who face brutal conditions as they fight to survive a conflict they were never asked to join.
It’s relatively easy to contemplate what one would do if one had the choice to fight in a great war or not. It’s an entirely different thing to consider how to react when impressed into service, without training, equipment or even a chance to warn one’s family. This is the most recent WWII-themed title to be released on Netflix, after the debut of the critically-acclaimed “Narvik” on the service earlier this year.
