TV tips: ‘WandaVisio­n,’ ‘Search Party’ returns

- — Chuck Barney, Staff

Here are four new or returning series TV viewers should know about.

“WandaVisio­n”: We don’t really know what to expect from this trippy new series, but we’re definitely intrigued. “WandaVisio­n” takes characters from Marvel’s superhero comics and movies and plops them in retro locales reminiscen­t of those in TV classics such as “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” “Bewitched” and “The Brady Bunch.” Picking up after the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” it reunites Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) with the android Vision (Paul Bettany). Together, these superpower­ed beings live idealized suburban lives, but begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems. Details: Available Friday; Disney+.

“Search Party”: As Season 4 of the acclaimed comedy-thriller begins, Dory is being held prisoner by her psychotic stalker Chip, who is determined to make her believe they are best friends. Can her real pals put their traumatic pasts behind them and come to her rescue? Details: Available today; HBO Max.

“Disenchant­ment”: In Season 3 of Matt Groening’s animated adult comedy, Princess Bean continues to grow into her power and own her destiny. But as she and her fearless friends venture to new worlds, they might just find there really is no place like home. Details: Available Friday; Netflix.

“One Deadly Mistake”: This new true-crime series follows various homicide investigat­ions that ultimately hinge on a surprising, or unlikely, piece of evidence that exposes the killer. The opener focuses on a 2014 case in Austin, Texas.

Details: 9 p.m. Saturday; Oxygen.
