WATCH THIS: FRIDAY

“Bad Boys for Life”

(6:59 p.m., 9:06 p.m., Starz): Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return to their familiar roles as Detective Lts. Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett, respectively, in this 2020 action comedy from the directing team of Adil & Bilall. This third installment in the “Bad Boys” trilogy follows the police duo as they pursue — and are pursued by — Armando Armas (Jacob Scipio), the vengeful son of a dead cartel kingpin. Vanessa Hudgens and Alexander Ludwig also star.

“Long Shot”

(7 p.m., Cinemax): Jonathan Levine’s 2019 romantic comedy requires a hefty suspension of disbelief, but once you get there, it mostly works, thanks to — we’re not making this up — some first-rate chemistry between stars Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen. Many years ago, she was his character’s babysitter, but now she’s the current U.S. Secretary of State about to launch a presidential bid. She hires him as her speechwriter, and things develop from there. Andy Serkis, June Diane Raphael (“Grace and Frankie”), Bob Odenkirk and Alexander Skarsgard also star.

“YouandMe”

(7 p.m., TCM): To a generation of moviegoers, Sylvia Sidney always will be the gravel-voiced caseworker in the afterlife in Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice,” but the actress had a long and very diversified career — including this 1938 film noir directed by German filmmaker Fritz Lang after he came to America. Sidney stars with screen veteran George Raft as a pair of paroled criminals working in a department store. The movie’s score is by Kurt Weill, best known for composing “The Threepenny Opera.” The film airs as part of an all-day salute to Sidney’s films.

“Jexi”

(8 p.m., Showtime): The virtual assistant (voice of Rose Byrne) on a selfaware smartphone becomes emotionally attached to her socially awkward owner, Phil (Adam DeVine), in this quirky 2019 romantic comedy co-written and -directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. Addicted to cellphones from an early age, Phil spends so much time staring at screens that he fails to connect with those around him. Things get really complicated when Jexi, his new phone’s “voice,” actively starts trying to break Phil of his bad habits. Alexandra Shipp, Wanda Sykes, Justin Hartley and Charlyne Yi co-star.

Reuben de Maid “Being Reuben” (8 p.m., CW): This new docuseries revolves around 14-year-old Welsh social-media celebrity Reuben de Maid as he tries to juggle that fame with the daily reality of sharing life with fractious siblings Coco and Sonny, who love taking their brother down a peg or two. It adds up to a handful for their mother, Vicky, to cope with as well. Ultimately, though, it’s these same family dynamics that have given Reuben the strength to be himself.
