The biggies

The Company You Keep (ABC, Sunday, 10 p.m.)

Milo Ventimiglia loves a complicated on-screen romance. The Gilmore Girls and This Is Us star leads ABC’s new action dramedy, The Company You Keep, in which he plays a con man whose entire family is involved in a criminal enterprise. Charlie lands them in trouble when he falls for a one-night stand, Emma (Catherine Haena Kim), who turns out to be a CIA officer. Naturally, they both have to keep their identities hidden while navigating their feelings. The show is based on the South Korean drama My Fellow Citizen and it features Sarah Wayne Callies, Tim Chiou, James Saito, Frida Foh Shen, and Polly Draper.

Co-created by the late John Singleton, Eric Amadio, and Dave Andron, FX’s acclaimed Snowfall launches its sixth and final season. Set in 1983 L.A., the drama follows young drug dealer Franklin Saint (Damson Idris), who becomes a linchpin in the life of several characters, including a CIA operative, a Mexican wrestler, and a crime boss’ niece.

Get ready for more Pogues vs. Kooks because Netflix’s teen drama Outer Banks is back for season three. Set in the titular North Carolina coastal town, where there’s a social divide between working-class locals (Pogues) and rich seasonal residents (Kooks), Outer Banks follows a group of teens who team up to find out what happened to their friend’s missing father. The cast includes Madelyn Cline, Chase Stokes, Madison Bailey, and Jonathan Daviss. Look out for The A.V. Club’s review and additional coverage of the show this week.

Hidden gems

Melody (Prime Video, Wednesday, 12:01 a.m.)

Prime Video’s coming-of-age musical drama Melody is inspired by the real experiences of co-stars Yas Gagliardi and Sarah Lenore. The Spanish-language series chronicles their characters’ journeys in the industry and in reality TV. The show also boasts original songs and music videos.

Peacock’s Bel-Air is a re-imagination of the 1990s NBC sitcom The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air. Jabari Banks plays Will Smith, a teen thrust into the world of Bel-Air’s gated mansions and racial tensions. Adrian Holmes, Cassandra Freeman, Olly Sholotan, Coco Jones, Akira Akbar, Jimmy Akingbola, Jordan L. Jones, and Simone Joy Jones also star. Season two will premiere with three episodes, with the remaining episodes dropping weekly. Check out The A.V. Club’s review of the show this week.

It’s the end of the road for Meredith Grey. That’s right, Ellen Pompeo is bidding adieu to ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy after 19 seasons of playing the character. As the show returns for its winter premiere, titled “I’ll Follow The Sun,” she’ll leave the hallowed halls of Seattle Grace forever. She will, however, continue to narrate the rest of the episodes. Who knows how Grey’s will look without Pompeo, but no one can fault her for wanting a break, right?
