“Alien: Romulus”, Kit Harington's “Industry”, and Sutton Foster's “Once Upon a Mattress” top this week's Must List

Plus, a delightfully hilarious Adam Pally comedy with NBA star Steph Curry, and Brits finding out if love really is blind round out our picks for the weekend of Aug. 16.

The Olympics are sadly over, but EW still spent this week going for gold: first with our exclusive reveal of the inaugural Golden Bachelorette cast on Tuesday and then our cover story with star Joan Vassos, who took us behind the scenes of her quest for a late-in-life love. I've never been an avid Bachelor viewer, but there's something about the Golden spinoffs that hit different. A 21-year-old former NBA dancer getting emotional about their "last chance love" just doesn't have the same impact as when it comes from a retired widow looking for someone to spend their final act with. Here's a toast to Joan and her "journey." —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

Alien: Romulus

Set between the events of 1979's Alien and its 1986 sequel, Aliens, this new film centers on a younger group of colonizers — led by Cailee Spaeny (Civil War, Priscilla) and our new android, Andy (David Jonsson) — who are searching for some much-needed cryogenic fuel for a journey to a paradise planet. But an abundance of horrific aliens and those leeches known as facehuggers have other plans for this crew. Director Fede Álvarez (Don't Breathe) loads his film with thrills and screechy scares, plus a wild new take on the iconic chestburster scene. —Gerrad Hall, Editorial Director

Industry

The HBO corporate-world drama's third season introduces Kit Harington's unhinged business owner Henry and explores ambitious Yasmin's (Marisa Abela) family drama before the show's scope expands as Harper (Myha'la Herrold) steps away from investment bank Pierpoint. You never know what's ahead, but it'll surely be chaos of the highest order. —Alamin Yohannes, Social Media Director

Once Upon A Mattress

This raucous Broadway revival isn't shy about breathing new life into "The Princess and the Pea." With a revised book by Amy Sherman-Palladino, Sutton Foster bring her Tony-winning vigor to the whimsical romp as Winnifred, a leech-ridden swamp girl with a heart of gold. —Maureen Lee Lenker, Senior Writer

Love Is Blind: UK

The generally likable (not you, Sam!) U.K. cast of Netflix's reality juggernaut feels like a throwback to when we actually rooted for all the couples to make it. Their fates will be revealed on the Aug. 21 finale. Cue the tears! —Dalton Ross, Editorial Director

Mr. Throwback

Washed-up basketball prodigy Danny (Adam Pally) reconnects with an old pal (NBA superstar Stephen Curry, as himself) under false — and desperate — pretenses. This comedically chaotic Peacock mockumentary is a fun, silly-smart binge, with an MVP performance from SNL's Ego Nwodim. —Kristen Baldwin, TV Critic
