The Netflix political drama The Diplomat, starring Keri Russell as a U.S. diplomat in England, returned this week for season two. This season, Russell’s character, Kate Wyler, is attempting to figure out who was behind the bombing that ended season one on a major cliffhanger, while also dealing with a new frenemy, the Vice President of the United States, played by series newcomer Alison Janney. The complete second season is available now.

If you missed out on Gru and family at the theaters earlier this year, you can catch the streaming debut of Despicable Me 4 exclusively on Peacock this week. The film, which co-stars Steve Carrell, Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell, arrived on demand this summer, but is finally on streaming as of October 31.
