FRIDAY What the Constitution Means to Me HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Amazon Prime Video Heidi Schreck brings her Tony-nominated play What the Constitution Means to Me to the small-screen in this live recording filmed in her final weeks on Broadway. "When we filmed it, I just had the instinct that we should have a beautifully filmed record of it," Schreck tells EW. "I didn't know that a global pandemic was coming and theaters would be shut down, and having a beautifully filmed piece of theater would be an exciting, important thing to have." The play stars Schreck as a teenage version of herself, meditating on the contests she used to win writing speeches about the U.S. Constitution. Through this look back, she reflects on women's rights, her generational trauma, and just how we can truly make the Constitution include everyone in the preamble's words "we the people." —Maureen Lee Lenker Related content: How What the Constitution Means to Me made its way to a timely screen debut What the Constitution Means to Me still vital and incisive at the Mark Taper Forum: Review Heidi Schreck channels her teenage self — and challenges the Constitution — in her powerful new play Clouds HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Disney+ "We all have limited time." Truer words have never been spoken in this movie, based on a true story, about Zach Sobiech (Fin Argus), a high school student whose rare bone cancer spreads, and advances to a terminal diagnosis. What we do with that time is what really matters, and that's why this musically-talented teen, along with his best friend and songwriting partner Sammy (Sabrina Carpenter), decide to focus his energies and limited time following their dreams. That's when they're presented with an incredible opportunity and offered a record deal, thanks to Zach teacher/mentor (Lil Rel Howery), getting to explore the true power of music. Tom Everett Scott and Neve Campbell also star. —Gerrad Hall Related content: Get in tune with these 18 upcoming music biopics Here are the 10 highest-grossing Christian movies The closer to God, the higher the haul: Why faith-based films are a holy grail of box office wealth Helstrom HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Hulu Series DebutWith Helstrom, Marvel wades into horror territory for the first time. Based on the Son of Satan comics, the spooky 10-episode series follows Daimon (The Royals' Tom Austen) and Ana Helstrom (Succession's Sydney Lemmon), the offspring of a serial-killing demon. As youngsters, their father's devilish disposition destroyed the family, leaving them emotionally scarred. Now grown, the estranged siblings use their inherited powers to fight evil in different ways: Daimon performs exorcisms in Portland, while his icy San Francisco-based sister hunts wicked men like her dad. Unfortunately, they're forced to reunite with their possessed and institutionalized mother (Elizabeth Marvel) when a powerful demon is unleashed. "The show is really the story of a messed up family," says showrunner Paul Zbyszewski, "about them overcoming those demons of their past, both literal and figurative." —Chancellor Agard Related content: New Helstrom teaser sends Marvel into horror territory Marvel's Helstrom series reveals cast and devilish character breakdowns Helstrom boss, stars preview the thrills and chills in Marvel's new drama The Trial of the Chicago 7 HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Netflix "We would have hung a sheet in the parking lot and projected it against that," writer-director Aaron Sorkin says of being determined to release his timely tale of protests, police violence, and the government persecuting its own citizens before the upcoming election. Thankfully, amid an increasingly murky time for theatrical releases, Netflix came to the rescue, allowing Sorkin, his star-studded cast (Sacha Baron Cohen and Eddie Redmayne are among the A-listers), and audiences to stay parked on the couch. Originally timed to come out ahead of the 2008 election, Sorkin is finally telling the story of a sensational slice of 20th-century history: the trial of seven famed antiwar activists charged with inciting a riot at the 1968 Democratic National Convention (an eighth was removed from the case). "I've been asked, did the script change at all to mirror the times? And no, it didn't; the times changed to mirror the script," Sorkin tells EW. "When we started shooting, I thought it was relevant, and we didn't need it to get more relevant, but it did… Watching recent coverage of protesters clashing with police, all you had to do was degrade the color a bit and it would look exactly like the footage from 1968." —Derek Lawrence Related content: Nothing was going to stop Aaron Sorkin from releasing The Trial of the Chicago 7 before the election Aaron Sorkin goes big and busy in true-life political drama The Trial of the Chicago 7: Review Jeremy Strong out-pranked Sacha Baron Cohen on the set of The Trial of the Chicago 7 What Else to Watch StreamingTime (doc) — Amazon Prime VideoHelpsters (season premiere) — Apple TV+Meet the Chimps (series debut) — Disney+Grand Army (series debut) — NetflixDream Home Makeover (series debut) — NetflixThe Opening Act (movie) — Digital/VODThe Devil Has a Name (movie) — Digital/VODS#!%HOUSE (movie) — VODJimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President (doc) — VODMonochrome: The Chromism (movie) — VODThe Secrets We Keep (movie) — VOD 7 p.m.MTV Unplugged Presents: Miley Cyrus Backyard Sessions — MTV 8 p.m.Shark Tank (season premiere) — ABCThe Greatest #AtHome Videos — CBSThe Perfect Weapon (doc) — HBO 9 p.m.20/20 ("John Lennon: His Life, Legacy, Last Days") — ABCUndercover Boss — CBSBad Hombres (doc) — Showtime 10 p.m.Dateline — NBC Watch the full episode of What to Watch: The Trial of the Chicago 7; Grand Army now on PeopleTV.com, or download the PeopleTV app on your favorite device.
