Wild cards

Casual (Hulu): Hulu’s comedy executive-produced by Jason Reitman is back for a third season of Los Angeles-set self-searching, complete with storytelling classes. The new episodes will feature Judy Greer, who is always a welcome presence.

Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King (Netflix): The Daily Show’s Hasan Minhaj, who recently answered our 11 Questions, is the latest comedian to release a Netflix special. In Homecoming King, Minhaj plays his hometown of Davis, California, to discuss his upbringing. “My dad’s from that generation like a lot of immigrants where he feels like if you come to this country you’re going to endure some racism,” he says. “But for me, like a lot of us I was born here, so I actually have the audacity of equality.”
