When the weather outside is frightful, you can cozy up with the new shows to watch this week on Netflix, Apple TV Plus and other streaming services, as well as broadcast and cable TV.
This week's new TV shows include the latest World War II drama from Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, "Masters of the Air." Nicole Kidman headlines the limited series drama "Expats" set in Hong Kong. A new season of "Queer Eye" heads to New Orleans again, while Joey Graziadei takes the spotlight in "The Bachelor" season 28. Here's our guide on the new TV shows to watch this week.
‘The Bachelor’ season 28 (ABC)
Last season’s “Bachelorette” runner-up Joey Graziadei gets a shot at finding love as the lead — though hopefully for the 28-year-old tennis pro, love doesn’t mean zero. Instead, he’ll look for “the one” among 32 women. As usual, Joey will go on dates and hand out roses in locales from Los Angeles to Malta to Montreal, though there will be a few new surprises in store in this installment. And it wouldn’t be “The Bachelor” without drama, personality clashes and plenty of tears.
Premieres Monday, Jan. 22 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC (via Sling or Fubo)
Streams next day on Hulu
‘Queer Eye’ season 8 (Netflix)
The Fab Five are back — though soon it’ll be just four. Interior designer Bobby Berk is departing the series after this season, which takes place in New Orleans for the second time. As usual, Berk, Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski and Jonathan Van Ness will spend a week with a local guest star and help improve various aspects of their lives. This season’s “heroes” include a former nun turned social justice lawyer, the football coach for the Louisiana School for the Deaf and a traditional jazz clarinetist.
Premieres Wednesday, Jan. 24 at 3:01 a.m. ET on Netflix
‘Griselda’ (Netflix)
Sofia Vergara is very eager for everyone to see she can do more than play her ditzy housewife from “Modern Family.” She is breaking bad for this limited series inspired by the life of Griselda Blanco, a cunning and ambitious figure who established one of the most formidable cartels in history. Taking place in 1970s-80s Miami, Blanco's deadly combination of unexpected brutality and charm allows her to adeptly navigate the realms of business and family, earning her the notorious moniker "the Godmother."

‘In the Know’ (Peacock)
The co-creator and voice star of this animated comedy, Zach Woods (“Silicon Valley”), wants you to know, “We love public radio.” So, yes, it’s meant to skewer NPR culture, but in an affectionate way. Lauren Caspian is NPR’s third most popular host and a well-meaning, hypocritical nimrod. Oh, and he’s a stop-motion puppet. Every episode follows Lauren and his crew as they makes his show, “In the Know,” in which he conducts in-depth interviews with real-world human guests. Expect luminaries like Ken Burns, Norah Jones, Jonathan Van Ness, Finn Wolfhard and Mike Tyson.
