Other highlights include Beyoncé taking home the Innovator Award, plus performances by Justin Timberlake, Green Day, TLC, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll and Tate McRae.

All American

One of the few survivors of the network’s programming purge under new leadership returns for a sixth season, with Spencer (Daniel Ezra) and Jordan (Michael Evans Behling) now officially eligible for the NFL draft. And they’re not the only high schoolers looking to the future: Olivia (Samantha Logan) returns from London a new person, Layla (Greta Onieogou) gets ready to open her new lounge, and Asher (Cody Christian) and Jaymee (Miya Horcher) adjust to being parents to baby AJ.

Sex and the City

Streaming Premiere

It’s not an April Fools’ joke. The iconic HBO series (1998-2004), about the romantic vicissitudes of columnist Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her besties (Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis), has now been licensed to the streaming giant for a new generation to become addicted. Cosmos, anyone? Elsewhere, in anticipation of (what else) a movie sequel, Peacock begins streaming all six seasons of the wonderfully quirky Community (2009-2015).

Followed by an episode of NCIS: Hawai’i (10/9c) directed by LeVar Burton, in which the team’s search for a missing naval officer reveals unexpected secrets, while Sam (LL Cool J) leans on Kai (Alex Tarrant) as his wingman.
