TV Listings: Monday, June 22 to Sunday, June 28

It’s a series of firsts and lasts on TV this week.

Things kick off on Wednesday when The Last Airbender returns to Netflix for season 2. The streamer is premiering all 7 new episodes on Wednesday at 9:00 PM PT, or midnight Thursday ET, depending on your time zone.

Then on Thursday, The Bear drops on Hulu and Disney+. Returning for a fifth and final season, with all 7 episodes set to drop at once, the show prepares to close the doors on the restaurant and wrap up the stories for Carmy, Sydney, Richie, and the rest of the crew. Can we get a sad ‘Yes Chef!’?

Also new this week is Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness , a new comedy series from Curb Your Enthusiasm’s Larry David. The show is described as a “semi-improvised” sketch series that satirizes American history. Look for it on Friday on HBO.

Leaving the schedule this week is Prime Video’s The Legend Vox Machina. The streamer has been airing the current season in weekly batches of 3 episodes every Wednesday. This Wednesday, the final 3 episodes conclude a season filled with surprises, new characters, and … wait! Was that really the death of a fan favorite character? The series has already been renewed for a final fifth season.

All that, plus House of the Dragon, Cape Fear, Star City, Sugar, and more.

Catch the week’s full schedule below.
