By EW Staff Published on October 29, 2021 08:09AM EDT FRIDAY Fairfax HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Amazon Prime Video Series DebutWhile Fairfax might seem like something tailor-made for Los Angelenos who have frequented the famous and eponymous boulevard, the heart of this animated series is four middle-school best friends — voiced by Skyler Gisondo, Kiersey Clemons, Peter S. Kim, and Jaboukie Young-White — who are just trying to be cool and fit in...while maintaining their own outsider status. Easier said than done. Billy Porter, Zoey Deutch, Camila Mendes, Yvette Nicole Brown, John Leguizamo, and more also star. —Gerrad Hall Related content: Inside Job sneak peek introduces animated comedy show's robot POTUS The Wheel of Time comes to life in first trailer for Amazon series 10 great episodes from the best animated series of 2020 Colin in Black and White HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Netflix Series DebutIn portraying a teenage Colin Kaepernick, Jaden Michael, 18, hopes he can win over some of Kaepernick's detractors in the new limited series from the former NFL quarterback-turned-social activist and Ava DuVernay. "There's this video that hit me like a ton of bricks," Michael recently told EW. "One of the first interviews Colin did — at that time he had only sat [during the anthem] — and a reporter asked, 'Do you think you're going to lose your job?' Colin's face dropped a bit, he thought, and he goes, 'I don't know, but if I do, I did the right thing and I know it'll be worth it.' That's something anyone can find admirable." —Derek Lawrence Related content: Colin in Black & White star Jaden Michael hopes to win over Colin Kaepernick's critics Colin in Black & White review: A challenging portrait of the athlete as a young man Get a first look at Netflix's Colin Kaepernick series, Colin in Black & White Army of Thieves HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: Streaming on Netflix Heist movie meets zombie movie in this prequel to Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead, released earlier this year.

While this will be Whittaker's final full season on the beloved sci-fi show, she's still got three upcoming specials left before she says goodbye. "Whenever my last day is, I'm going to be awful, because I just love it so much, and I love everyone, and I love being a part of it," Whittaker previously told EW. "The wonderful thing [is] there are so many episodes [to] come out over an extended period. I'm [still] the Doctor for such a long time. I will be the Doctor for a long time, thank God." In the meantime, the six new episodes — subtitled Flux — will mark a shift from previous seasons' episodic storytelling, with what showrunner Chris Chibnall is billing as something more like the Who serials of the past. We'll also see the return of some familiar foes like the Weeping Angels, Ood, Cybermen, and Sontarans, along with new friends, including John Bishop as new companion Dan.
