How to Murder Your Husband: The Nancy Brophy Story (movie) (8
pm, Lifetime Channel)

Based on a true story: Nancy Crampton-Brophy (Cybill Shepherd) seemed to
have a knack for writing about murder. The Portland-based romance-thriller
novelist authored books about relationships that were tumultuous, while
using seductive men on the covers to lure in her readers. Often, her books
featured women protagonists who fantasized about killing their own husbands
or fleeing their husbands and faking their own deaths. And then, in 2022 in
a shocking turn of events, Brophy was convicted of killing her own husband.

The Last of Us [new] (9 pm, HBO)

Early reviews are terrific for The Last of Us, which comes from Chernobyl
creator Craig Mazin along with Neil Druckmann, the co-president of the game
studio (Naughty Dog) that created the critically acclaimed PlayStation game
franchise of the same name. Retaining the post-apocalyptic setting and many
of the characters from those games but expanding the story, the series
follows the smuggler Joel (played by The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal) and
Ellie, the orphaned teen girl in his care (Bella Ramsey, Game of Thrones)
as they attempt to escape from a quarantine zone and travel across the
remains of the United States two decades after human civilization has been
mostly wiped out by a fungal pandemic. Gabriel Luna, Anna Torv, Nick
Offerman, Nico Parker, Murray Bartlett, and Melanie Lynskey also star, and
some of them will be portraying new characters who were not in the games.
(And a few voice actors from the game series, most notably Merle Dandrige,
who plays Marlene, will also make the jump to the TV show.) HBO reportedly
spent well over $100 million on the Canadian-filmed series. 9 episodes.

The Way Home [new] (9 pm, Hallmark Channel)

The Way Home is a family drama following the lives of three generations of
women--Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh), her 15-year-old daughter Alice (Sadie
Laflamme-Snow) and Kat’s mother Del (Andie MacDowell), who are all strong,
willful and independent. More than 20 years earlier, life-changing events
prompted Kat to move away from her small, Canadian farm town of Port Haven
and she remains estranged from Del to this day. Alice has never met her
grandmother and is unaware of the reasons for their fractured family. With
Kat’s marriage coming to an end and having just been laid off from her job,
she decides to return home after receiving an unexpected letter from Del
urging her to come back. Although Alice is none too thrilled, Kat and her
daughter arrive at her family’s farm, where the reunion isn’t what Kat had
envisioned. As the three generations of women slowly work on finding their
footing as a family, they embark on an enlightening--and
surprising--journey none of them could have imagined as they learn how to
find their way back to each other. Evan Williams also stars as Elliot
Augustine, Kat Landry’s good friend from high school who now teaches
science at their alma mater. 10 episodes?

It won't for much longer. In fact, the above development pretty much
guarantees that season #4 of MW won't air on TBS, and is unlikely to be
on HBO Max either - like "Snowpiercer", Warner Discovery is likely
trying to sell this show to someone else...
