- All eight episodes of Looking for Alaska will debut on Friday, October 18 only on Hulu. Looking for Alaska is an 8-episode limited series based on the John Green novel of the same name. Set in 2005, it centers around teenager Miles “Pudge” Halter (Charlie Plummer), as he enrolls in boarding school to try to gain a deeper perspective on life. He falls in love with Alaska Young (Kristine Froseth), and finds a group of loyal friends. But after an unexpected tragedy, Miles and his close friends attempt to make sense of what they’ve been through.
- British spoken word artist, rapper, poet, novelist and playwright Kate Tempest drops a new version of her song “People’s Faces” off of her critically acclaimed album The Book Of Traps & Lessons—listen to “People’s Faces” (Streatham Version) HERE! Of the song, Kate Tempest says “‘People’s Faces’ is the final song on my recent album The Book Of Traps And Lessons. It’s where all of the agonising and soul-searching of the entire record culminates in this very simple expression of deep love for people’s faces. We wanted the song to have the possibility of connecting with as many people as possible. So, we made a version that was shorter and was more song-like, we are calling it the ‘Streatham Version’ as that is where Dan [Carey] is based. I really hope that it connects with you and that you feel it.”
Smithsonian Channel is spotlighting the incredible conservation work being done to save great apes in two new films to debut as part of the network’s signature Wild Wednesday lineup. From an island sanctuary giving orphaned and rescued chimpanzees a second chance to a journey through a distant land to save a silverback gorilla and his rainforest, both programs will share the heartwarming yet difficult paths to safeguard these endangered species. Viewers can follow these extraordinary animals and their human allies on Smithsonian Channel’s Isle of Chimps (October 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT) and Gorilla Gabon (October 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT).
- On October 1, Time Life celebrates Williams' memorable, inimitable 40-year career with Robin Williams: Comic Genius. Decades in the making, the TV DVD archivisists at Time Life have collected all his most memorable stand-up and television performances across three singular collections: a 5-Disc Collector's Set (Available exclusively at Walmart), a handsomely-packaged 22-Disc set featuring 50+ hours of comedic genius, and a single disc featuring Robin's first HBO stand-up special.

- The Hunt for Eagle 56 follows the Nomad Exploration dive team – a group of amateur divers who made the stunning discovery of the USS Eagle 56 shipwreck off the coast of Maine. Their missions, documented in Smithsonian Channel’s new three-part series, THE HUNT FOR EAGLE 56, uncovers exclusive images of the lost WWII warship lying at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, unseen anywhere else before. The Eagle 56 has been missing for over 74 years, ever since a German U-boat torpedoed the ship in April 1945 just 5 miles off shore. Long-believed to be the result of a boiler explosion, the case of the Eagle 56’s sinking marks the first time that the U.S. Navy has changed a classification from accidental to combat loss due to enemy action. The Hunt for Eagle 56 premieres on Sunday, September 22 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Smithsonian Channel.
