SCREEN TIME
Return of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ and ‘Home Improvement’ reunion
This week’s new entertainment releases include the reuniting of “Home Improvement” sitcom buddies Tim Allen and Richard Karn for “More Power” and the return of Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as unlikely crime-solving New York City neighbors in Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building.”
The biggest new movie streaming this week is “The Princess,” coming to Hulu on July 1, starring Joey
King as a royal who refuses to marry her intended. And Ken Burns adds his heft to “Hiding in Plain Sight: Youth Mental Illness,” which gives a voice to young people with mental health conditions and those in their lives.
Here’s a collection of the best of what’s arriving in theaters, on TV and on streaming services this week.
‘Only Murders in the Building’
Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as back as unlikely crime-solving New York City neighbors in Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building.” In season two, the amateur sleuths are the talk of the town, or at least their apartment building, when they’re linked to the death of the building board’s president. In a cruel twist, the trio that began a podcast to unravel a murder are under scrutiny by a rival podcast. Shirley MacLaine and Cara Delevingne are among the high-profile visitors when the series returns Tuesday with two episodes and others out weekly.
‘The Princess’
The biggest new movie streaming this week is
“The Princess,” coming to Hulu on Friday, July 1, starring Joey King as a royal who refuses to marry her intended (with good reason, as he’s a sociopath). Still, the act of defiance gets her kidnapped and imprisoned while her betrothed tries to overthrow the
kingdom. Le-Van Kiet directed the film, which also stars Dominic Cooper and Olga Kurylenko. Hulu is also getting “Independence Day” on July 1, if you’re looking for a nostalgic watch leading up to the holiday.
