IN THE SPOTLIGHT

New this week: ‘Reasonable Doubt,’ ‘Blonde’ and Björk

MOVIES

— Andrew Dominik’s long-delayed, NC-17 rated epic about Norma Jean Baker, or Marilyn Monroe, is finally here. “Blonde,” which will be available on Netflix on Wednesday, looks at the life and mythology of the Hollywood icon, played by Ana de Armas, through an experimental and fictionalized lens.

— For something infinitely lighter and seasonally appropriate, head over to Disney+ on Friday for “Hocus Pocus 2,” which brings the witchy Sanderson Sisters (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy) back to Salem. This sequel adds some TV comedy favorites to the mix like “Veep’s” Tony Hale and Sam Richardson and “Ted Lasso’s” Hannah Waddingham.

— In a new documentary “Nothing Compares,” Irish filmmaker Kathryn Ferguson looks at the life and career of Sinéad O’Connor, from her rise to her de facto exile from the pop establishment and beyond. The film, which begins streaming on demand for Showtime subscribers on Friday, Sept. 30, before premiering on air on the channel on Oct. 2, uses archival footage, some previously unseen, and a new interview with O’Connor to tell her story.

MUSIC

— The first video from Björk’s new album shows her in a psychedelic mushroom forest with a phalanx of bass clarinet players, which seems pretty onbrand. Björk has described the collection as a “mushroom album.” Two of the album’s tracks, “Sorrowful Soil” and “Ancestress,” were inspired by the death of her mother. Her last album was “Utopia,” which was light and airy. “This time around/the feeling was landing/on the earth and digging my feet into the ground,” she wrote on social media.

— Rita Wilson is flexing her big-name connections with her new album, “Rita Wilson Now & Forever: Duets,” out Tuesday.

— Can’t make it to Broadway for one of the fall’s loveliest shows? Then just stream the cast album of James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods,” with an all-star cast including Sara Bareilles, Brian d’Arcy James, Patina Miller, Phillipa Soo, Gavin Creel and Joshua Henry.

TELEVISION

— Kerry Washington (“Scandal”) is behind the camera as an executive producer for Hulu’s “Reasonable Doubt,” debuting Tuesday. Emayatzy Corinealdi stars as a L.A. defense attorney who chooses results over protocol and has a complicated personal life.

— Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin play a mother-son odd couple in CBS’ new dramady “So Help Me Todd,” debuting Thursday.

— “How I Got Here” combines a rootsdiscovery trip, family bonding and travelogue, which pretty much means something for everyone. In each episode, a parent returns to their native country — young adult child in tow — to explore the sacrifice and circumstances that led to their decision to seek a new home. Each 10-day trip allows time to sample the local food, scenery and cultural highlights in countries including Chile, Israel, Italy and Zambia. The BYUtv series debuts at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, followed that night by episode two in its regular 6 p.m. slot.
