Final Act for Nazi Hunters and Rescuers in South America, Newsmags on Idaho Murders, War Over Soccer and Life on the Tennis Tour

Hunters

The outrageous thriller about Nazi hunters seeking retribution moves ahead two years from Season 1’s shocking climactic reveal that Adolf Hitler—and his partner Eva Braun (Lena Olin’s “Colonel”)—are still alive, hiding in Argentina. (The time jump makes sense, given that it’s been two years between seasons.) In the final batch of eight episodes, available for binge-watching, Jonah (Logan Lerman) joins forces with Detective Millie Morris (Jerrika Hinton) to bring what’s left of the team back together to track down this ultimate evil and bring the villain of all time to justice. Jennifer Jason Leigh joins the colorful cast of action-hero archetypes, while Al Pacino (as the faux Meyer Offerman) appears in flashbacks.

Echo 3

Breaking their kidnapped target out of a Venezuelan prison was just half the battle. In the season finale of writer-director Mark Boal’s action series, Special Ops warriors Bambi (Luke Evans) and Prince (Michiel Huisman) now have to figure a way to get out of Colombia with their prize asset, Amber (Jessica Ann Collins), who’s an emotional wreck on many levels. Given that their rescue has triggered a war between two South American nations, the manhunt is especially intense as they take flight through a crowded market.

Super League: The War for Football

A four-part docuseries goes inside the controversial attempt by a consortium of European soccer clubs to form an elite breakaway Super League, challenging the organizational bodies of EUFA and FIFA.

Legends come and legends go on the pro tennis circuit, and this sports docuseries from the team behind the celebrated Formula 1: Drive to Survive promises to be an illuminating glimpse into 2022’s ATP and WTA tours, following key players on and off the court as they chase top rankings. The series opens with five episodes, with five more planned for June. Featured players in the first round, covering action from the Australian to French Opens, include the volatile Nick Kyrgios, Italy’s Matteo Berrettini, California’s Taylor Fritz, Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur and Norway’s Casper Ruud. Adding commentary are past pros Chris Evert, Andy Roddick, Martina Navratilova and Maria Sharapova.

Fire Country

This time the emergency hits close to home for Cal Fire, when a box truck crashes into the station, triggering a power outage and—what else—a potentially deadly fire. In other trauma news, Sharon (Diane Farr) and Cara (Sabina Gadecki), Bode’s (Max Thieriot) ex-girlfriend, each experience multiple medical crises.
