This week's lineup of new TV shows and movies ranges from the scary (Shark Week) to the sweet (a new HBO Max show about dogs!) and everything in between. Arguably the most anticipated release of the week is The Kissing Booth 2, the sequel to the 2018 film starring Joey King. But if that's not your jam, I guarantee you'll find something this week that is.
Below, all the TV shows and movies to look out for this week.
