What’s on TV This Week: ‘Soulmates’ and the Vice-Presidential Debate


Between network, cable and streaming, the modern television landscape is a vast one. Here are some of the shows, specials and movies coming to TV this week, Oct. 5-11. Details and times are subject to change.

TELL ME MORE WITH KELLY CORRIGAN 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). The author and New York Times contributor Kelly Corrigan hosts this new interview series that engages the likes of Bryan Stevenson, the attorney whose memoir inspired the film “Just Mercy,” and the actress Jennifer Garner.

SOULMATES 10 p.m. on AMC. Sarah Snook, Malin Akerman and Bill Skarsgard star in this new six-episode anthology series set 15 years in the future when scientists have developed a test that can tell who your soul mate is. In the premiere, a happily married couple (played by Snook and Kingsley Ben-Adir) question their relationship after everyone they know takes the test.

2020 N.B.A. FINALS 9 p.m. on ABC. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat face off in Game 4 of the National Basketball Association Finals. The best-of-seven series will continue, if necessary, with additional games, airing Friday at 9 p.m., Sunday at 7:30 p.m. and Tuesday at 9 p.m. on ABC.

CATS (2019) 8 p.m. on HBO. Tom Hooper’s kitschapalooza comes to HBO in all of its chaotic and furry C.G.I. glory. As Manohla Dargis wrote in her review for The New York Times, “A doctoral thesis could be written on how this misfire sputtered into existence, though there’s nothing new about the movies’ energetic embrace of bad taste.” Laugh, cry or scream along to Jennifer Hudson’s rendition of “Memory” — just don’t forget the wise words of Dame Judi Dench (who plays Old Deuteronomy): A cat is not a dog.

HOCUS POCUS (1993) 8:55 p.m. on Freeform. The 31 Nights of Halloween are in full swing on Freeform, and this classic stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as the outlandish Sanderson sisters. After they’re brought back to life by Max — an endearingly angsty teenage virgin played by Omri Katz — the sisters terrorize Salem, Mass. on All Hallows’ Eve.

FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980) 9 p.m. on AMC. This classic slasher directed by Sean S. Cunningham brings us back to Camp Crystal Lake, where the series started 40 years ago. “More interesting than the bloodshed, somehow, is the middle-class ordinariness with which Mr. Cunningham invests the characters’ conversations,” Janet Maslin wrote in her New York Times review. “They seem to be inciting the killer’s fury by chatting about vitamins and playing Monopoly.” Starring Betsy Palmer, Kevin Bacon and Adrienne King, this movie reminds us — yet again — to not go swimming in the lake.
