Look forward to seeing Sabrina Carpenter, Seth Rogen and Maya Rudolph alongside the gang when The Muppets return to the stage of the original Muppet Theater this week.

'The Lincoln Lawyer' season 4
Mickey Haller (Manuel García-Rulfo) is back on Netflix and poised to face his toughest case yet in David E. Kelley's continuing adaptation of Michael Connelly's bestselling book series.
Season 4 is based on the sixth book in the saga, "The Law of Innocence," and sees Haller and his team working tirelessly to prove his innocence in the murder of a former client, Sam Scales. As his life and reputation are on the line, Haller and co. scramble to uncover Sam's final scam, forcing the team to go head-to-head with the DA's office, the FBI, and ghosts from Mickey's own past.
"The Lincoln Lawyer" season 4 premieres on Thursday, Feb. 5, on Netflix
'The 'Burbs'
Peacock's "The 'Burbs" is a new mystery/comedy series you can look forward to binge-watching at the end of the week. Inspired by the 1989 horror-comedy film of the same name, Celeste Hughey's new series revolves around a young couple (played by Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall) who move into the husband's childhood home in a picture-perfect neighborhood.
Things might look great on the surface, but their world is upended when new neighbors move in next door, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new, deadly threats shatter the illusion of this quiet little neighborhood...
All eight episodes of "The 'Burbs" premiere on Sunday, Feb. 8, on Peacock
