British murder-mystery fans will find much to like about HBO's new detective series, Get Millie Black, which debuts this Monday. Since leaving the prestigious crime-stopping bureau at Scotland Yard, Millie-Jean Black (Tamara Lawrance) has dedicated her life to finding missing individuals as a private detective. However, one uncharacteristically peculiar case sees Black back in the fold, with her teaming up with another detective named Luke Holborn (Joe Dempsie). That being said, Millie-Jean Black left the service because of rampant corruption in the department, so she'll need to be cautious of who she decides to trust.

While Survivor may still have the market cornered on the reality competition circuit, The Summit has come in as a promising new contender. Where Survivor tasks contestants with living on their own in a usual island setting, The Summit takes things to a literal peak by being in the treacherous and inhospitable mountains. Taking place in the infamously dangerous New Zealand Alps, participants will need to make it to the very top if they want to take home a cash price of a million dollars.

Set thousands of years before the events of the 2021 film, Dune: Prophecy shows how a humble sisterhood grew to become the mighty Bene Gesserit. While Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson) tries to shape the galaxy's future, other conspiracies are at play that will change the Imperium forever.
