“Yellowstone” rides off into the sunset with the launch of its final episodes and Eddie Redmayne’s returns to TV starring as a sniper for hire in the new limited series “The Day of the Jackal.” Also this week: Aubrey Plaza stars as a psychedelic mushroom hallucination in the touching coming-of-age comedy “My Old Ass.”
‘Yellowstone’
“Yellowstone,” the contemporary Western about a family whose ownership of the largest cattle ranch in the U.S. goes back generations, returns for the second half of its final season on Sunday, Nov. 10.

‘The Day of the Jackal’
Eddie Redmayne hasn’t starred in a TV series since the 2012 two-part World War I saga, “Birdsong.” He marks his return as a sniper for hire in the new Peacock limited series, “The Day of the Jackal.” It’s an updated version of a Frederick Forsyth novel published in 1971. Lashana Lynch plays an intelligence officer, intent on catching Redmayne’s mysterious killer who goes by the moniker The Jackal. “The Day of the Jackal” debuts Thursday on Peacock. DETAILS
‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’
Prime Video’s spy franchise “Citadel” now includes “Citadel: Honey Bunny.” This version is set in India and is a prequel to the 2023 original that starred Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden. It takes place in the 1990s and introduces viewers to the parents of Chopra Jonas’ character, Nadia. Samantha Ruth Prabhu plays Nadia’s mother, Honey, with Varun Dhawan portraying her father, Bunny. The series debuts Thursday. DETAILS
‘My Old Ass’
Is there a better way to spend election week than with a psychedelic mushroom-induced Aubrey Plaza? Well, yes, there probably is. But, still, Megan Park’s “My Old Ass” (streaming Thursday on Prime Video) is a uniquely charming and oddly moving coming-of-age drama. The film stars Maisy Stella as Elliott, an 18-year-old whose birthday mushroom trip, while camping in Ontario’s Muskoka region, conjures a surreal visitor: her 39-year-old self (played by Plaza).

‘Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger’
Of the many fans of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s films, none is more passionate than Martin Scorsese. In “Made in England: The Films of Powell and Pressburger” (airing Thursday on TCM), Scorsese narrates his journey through movies that have had a profound effect on the filmmaker. In it, he describes being “so bewitched by them as a child that they make a big part of my films’ subconscious.” The documentary, directed by David Hinton and produced by Thelma Schoonmaker, isn’t just a chronicle of films like “The Red Shoes,” “Black Narcissus” and “I Know Where I’m Going!” but captures how movies can transfix you, change you and live alongside you as you grow older.
