Check out our picks for the week of May 28 to June 3 below. Your eyes and your ears will thank us!
Movies
Adrift (June 1): Starring Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin, Adrift tells the true story of a couple (Tami Oldham and Richard Sharp) who set sail on an adventure only to get stranded in a hurricane the middle of the ocean. When the storm clears, Richard is hurt and the boat is badly damaged, and they must navigate their way out with no help whatsoever. (Photo via STX Films)
TV
The Bachelorette (May 28): Becca Kufrin has already shared some majorspoilers about her season of The Bachelorette, but that won’t deter the world from tuning in to see if she gets her second chance at love after being dumped by Arie Luyendyk Jr. on The Bachelor. Who will potentially win her heart? The guy in the chicken suit? The “social media participant“? Watch the two-hour season 14 premiere on Monday, May 28, at 8pm ET on ABC to find out!

Streaming
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (May 30): When we last left the impossibly positive Kimmy Schmidt, she was starting her new job at a tech startup. Season 4 picks up with the bummer realization that her first task will be to fire someone. The first six episodes arrive on Netflix on May 30, with the rest of the season — which may be its last — set to arrive later this year. (Photo via Eric Liebowitz/Netflix)
