June 20-26“Smashley Rose” | Blindspotting Jasmine Cephas Jones Jasmine Cephas Jones is back to reprise her role as Ashley Jones, and she’s already one of our favorite performers on TV right now.

February 20-27“Previously On” | WandaVisionElizabeth Olsen PSA: This article will be full of spoilers—if you have yet to see the new episode of Disney’s WandaVision, stop reading right away and return once you’ve done so.

January 17-23“Hard Vacuum” | The ExpanseDominique Tipper The Expanse continues to deliver exceptional performances in the midst of episodes that can sadly at times be too heavy this season.
