Several new television series and returning favorites are set to debut this week across multiple streaming platforms and networks.

NBC will air the third season of the mockumentary series "St. Denis Medical," which follows the staff of a fictional hospital in Oregon. This season explores evolving office romances, leadership struggles, and a doctor’s recovery from surgery. Damon Wayans is set to guest star as a doctor, and Ariana Madix returns as Dr. Brooke Emerson, a cardiac surgeon. The episode premieres Monday at 8 p.m.

Apple TV+ will launch the second season of "Stick" on Wednesday, starting with two back-to-back episodes. The show centers on Pryce Cahill (Owen Wilson), a former professional golfer who now mentors a young protégé named Santi (Peter Dager). This season focuses on Pryce confronting his own uncertain future in the sport, with Rhea Seehorn joining the cast.

Netflix Canada will release all eight episodes of "North of North" Season 2 on Thursday. The drama is set in a remote Arctic community and follows Saja (Anna Lambe) as she navigates personal ambitions amid local challenges, including speed dating, a water crisis, and a major storm.

Paramount+ will debut "It Gets Worse" on Friday, a new series that uses humor to address financial struggles. The story follows three friends in their mid-20s—Ethan (Leo Reich), Sam (Olive Gray), and Abi (Emily Fairn)—who face eviction after a rent increase. Andrew Scott and Lena Dunham are among the guest stars.

Streaming on Hulu starting Wednesday is Season 2 of "All’s Fair," a series focusing on an all-female law firm trying to maintain its practice. Kim Kardashian, who plays Allura Grant, notes the new season embraces a more campy tone. Three episodes will be released initially, followed by weekly releases of the remaining five episodes.

Also on Netflix Thursday is the six-episode second season of "Black Doves," a spy thriller starring Keira Knightley as Helen. She balances her undercover work with being the wife of the incoming prime minister of England, portrayed by Andrew Buchan.

Amazon Prime Video will release all eight episodes of "The Greatest" on Wednesday, a sports biography series chronicling the life of Muhammad Ali. Jaalen Best stars as Ali, with Omari Hardwick, Dana Gourrier, and Giovanni Ribisi also appearing. The series covers key moments such as Ali’s early life in Louisville, his 1960 Olympic gold medal, and his complex political history.

Netflix on Wednesday also premieres "Taken: Natalee Holloway," a three-part documentary series narrated by Beth Holloway, Natalee’s mother. The series revisits the 2005 disappearance of the 18-year-old in Aruba, exploring the investigation and subsequent developments, including a confession from Joran van der Sloot that did not result in charges related to her case.
