Jesse L. Martin returns to NBC in “The Irrational,” playing a behavioral science expert with a keen understand­ing of what makes people tick.

NBC. It streamed the next day on Peacock.

What happens when you combine Reese Witherspoo­n’s production company Hello Sunshine and the team behind “Vanderpump Rules” for an unscripted show? Romance in a small, Southern town with a side of gossip! “Love in Fairhope” follows five women at different points of their life as they look for love in Fairhope, Alabama — a town with historic homes, tree-lined streets, bluffs overlookin­g a bay, and where everyone knows one another other’s business. “Love in Fairhope” debuted Wednesday on Hulu.

The next spinoff of “The Bachelor” franchise aims to show you can’t set an age limit on finding love.
