*It may be Friday, but we're all about *Wednesday *over here at EW. Check out our latest cover story that dives into that deadly cliffhanger (but only after watching those first four episodes). In other news, I thought I'd be writing this letter on my way to see Kelly Clarkson in Las Vegas. But for devastating reasons, she's canceled her residency shows for the month. In this profession, you get a little numb to the sadder events we cover, but as a big Kelly fan, this one has stayed with me. My heart goes out to her and her family, as I'm sure all of yours do as well. —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief*

"King of the Hill"

'King of the Hill' revival.

Disney/Mike Judge

When Hank (Mike Judge) and Peggy Hill (Kathy Najimy) move back to the U.S. after living in Saudi Arabia, they return to a Texas featuring all-gender bathrooms, electric vehicles, and boba tea shops. Hulu's fantastic 14th season lets Hank confront America's new normal without sacrificing his dedication to civility, truth, and propane. Whether taking on fraught issues (cultural appropriation, misinformation) or reuniting 21-year-old Bobby Hill (Pamela Adlon) with his childhood crush Connie (Lauren Tom), *King of the Hill* delivers laughs with its signature blend of insight, sly humor, and silliness. *—Kristen Baldwin, TV Critic*

"Freakier Friday"

Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in 'Freakier Friday'.

Glen Wilson/Disney

Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are back in top form — but not in each other's bodies this time around. In the bewitching sequel to *Freaky Friday*, it's a foursome of supernatural body-swapping, yet the stars' charismatic connection remains the same. *—Joey Nolfi, Senior Writer*

"Outlander: Blood of My Blood"

Jamie Roy and Harriet Slater in 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood'.

Jamie and Claire's parents get a prequel that's quickly become our new favorite kilty pleasure. Forbidden love, Highland clan warfare, and yes, time travel, all take center stage in this Starz series that somehow improves on the original. *—Maureen Lee Lenker, Senior Writer*

*Outlander: Blood of My Blood *creators break down the show's new theme song**

Chappell Roan's "The Subway"

Chappell Roan in the official music video for 'The Subway'.

Chappell Roan's long-delayed studio version of this live favorite has finally arrived, complete with a wiggy, New York City–set video. Can the song of the summer be a bit of a bummer? If it's as undeniably gorgeous as this slice of dream pop, absolutely. *—Jason Lamphier, Senior Editor*

"Weapons"

Josh Brolin in 'Weapons'.

Quantrell Colbert/Warner Bros.

We can't talk about the best parts of *Barbarian* director Zach Cregger's new horror movie without revealing spoilers. But we'll tease that the surface-level premise of 17 missing kids from the same elementary school class hides a much more thrilling, twisty, messed-up iceberg. *—Nick Romano, Senior Editor*
