FX premieres a new show set in Japan in the 1600s. A new mini-series starring Kate Winslet airs on HBO.
For those like myself who still haven’t cut the cord, here is a selection of cable and network TV shows, movies and specials that broadcast this week, Feb. 26-March 3. Details and times are subject to change.
Monday
THE VOICE 8 p.m. on NBC. The people involved in this singing competition are working overtime — the show is beginning its 25th season though it has only been on the air for 13 years. Niall Horan (the reigning champion and two-time winner) and Gwen Stefani are not returning as judges, but the show is debuting a coaching duo — the singers Dan + Shay. They’ll be joined by the returning judges Chance the Rapper, John Legend and Reba McEntire.
Tuesday
SHOGUN 10 p.m. on FX. This limited series, based on a novel by James Clavell and a remake of a previous adaptation, takes place in Japan in the 1600s and centers on Lord Yoshii Toranaga as members of the Council of Regents turn against him. Attention shifts when a mysterious European ship turns up on the shore of a small fishing village.
Wednesday
SURVIVOR 8 p.m. on CBS. This show, 46 seasons in and still going strong, returns with the host Jeff Probst and 18 castaways who are headed to Fiji to compete and survive. Contestants noted that this season might be a departure from the calm and feel-good vibe of the past couple of years — backstabbing, arguments and breakdowns are back, baby!
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS 8 p.m. on Bravo. Two “Housewives” reunions in a row? I am ordering a family-size bag of SkinnyPop and a five-liter box of wine. Andy Cohen, of course, will be moderating. The sneak peek of the reunion shows that the drama starts before the ladies have even sat down on set — as Cohen is seen telling Kyle Richards that Erika Jayne “wants me to eviscerate you.”
