New episodes of The Mandalorian season 3 drop every Wednesday, at 1:30pm IST. Pascal will also make an appearance this Monday, March 6, for a new episode of The Last of Us, as his character Joel continues to reel from his near-fatal injury, while Ellie (Bella Ramsey) gets into trouble with a group of god-fearing, cannibalistic survivors. The nine-episode-long season concludes later this month on March 13.
Based on James Cameron’s eponymous 1994 film, True Lies follows Helen Tasker (Ginger Gonzaga), a bored, suburban housewife who comes upon the shocking discovery that her husband Harry (Steve Howey) is a highly skilled international spy. With the secret out, she’s soon recruited as his partner and team member, embarking on various covert missions. New episodes of True Lies are out every Thursday. On March 12, check out UnPrisoned, a half-hour comedy that follows Paige Alexander (Kerry Washington), a relationship therapist and mother, whose routine is shaken up when her father gets out of prison and moves in.
