What To Watch This Week: Apr 13-19, 2026

Star Awards 2026 (mewatch, Channel 8, Channel U, Mediacorp Entertainment YouTube Channel, from 7pm, Apr 19)

This year’s show  — subtitled Born to Glow — sees The Little Nyonya sequel Emerald Hill leading the pack with 17 nominations, including Best Drama (which, according to our Magic 8-Ball, is as good as theirs). Elsewhere, for the love of all things holy and sacred, can the powers that be finally give Andie Chen — a Best Supporting Actor contender for Fixing Fate — something, a $1,000 Sheng Siong voucher, anything, and not send him home empty-handed again? Guest presenters include Julian Cheung, Ada Choi, Kevin Tsai, Bowie Lam, Jasper Liu, Hsieh Ying-xuan, and Luo Yunxi. With Guo Liang, Zhang Zetong, and Cheryl Chou as hosts. Pre-main show, catch the red carpet banter in Walk of Fame, with Jeremy Chan, Lee Teng, Hazelle Teo, and 987 jock (and proud Lamborghini driver) Germaine Tan. Or switch over to Backstage Live, from 3.30pm to 10pm, for all the BTS (not the K-pop group) ba-gua with 933 DJs Jeff Goh and Chen Ning, and more.

Euphoria, Season 3 (HBO Max, Apr 13)

Four years is a long time to wait, and this new season jumps five years ahead. The teens are all grown up now: Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) and Nate (Jacob Elordi) married and living in the suburbs and Rue (Zendaya) working off her debt to drug dealer Laurie (Martha Kelly).  Elsewhere, Jules (Hunter Schafer) is in art school while Maddy (Alexa Demie) is hustling at a Hollywood talent agency. Welcome to the next level of Hell… adulthood.

Balls Up (Prime Video, Apr 15)

Rauch maestro Peter Farrelly (There’s Something About Mary) teams up with Deadpool writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick for this no-holds-barred buddy-comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser as two marketers on a business trip in Brazil, only to be declared persona non-grata following a football-related national scandal. Sacha Baron Cohen, Eric André and Daniela Melchior co-star.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles (Apple TV, Apr 15)

This eight-part dramedy is further proof that the sex business is recession-proof — and is always to go-to option in desperate times. David E Kelley adapts Rufi Thorpe’s novel about an aspiring writer (recent Oscar nominee Elle Fanning) whose unplanned pregnancy upends her life. What’s the solution? OnlyFans, of course. With Michelle Pfeiffer (Kelley’s missus) and Nick Offerman as her parents — a former Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, respectively.

Beef, Season 2 (Netflix, Apr 16)

K-drama royalty in da house! The Emmy-feted anthology series returns with a brand-new feud, this set in a posh country club in the US, following two low-level staffers (Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny) and their boss (Oscar Isaac) and his wife (Carey Mulligan), all vying for the approval of the club’s billionaire owner (Minari’s Youn Yuh-Jung). Of course, she  has her own shit to deal with — a scandal involving her second husband (Parasite’s Song Kang-Ho). William Fichtner and Matthew Kim (aka rapper BM) co-star.

Absolute Value of Romance (Prime Video, Apr 17)

Mediacorp and Korean VOD service Coupang Play join forces for this coming-of-age high school rom-com series starring Kim Hyang Gi as a student who leads a double life — by day, she’s buried in academia; by night, she writes adults-only web novels. Trouble begins brewing when she’s distracted by four irresistibly charming (naturally) new teachers, played by VIXX’s Cha Hak-Yeon, N.Flying’s Kim Jae-Hyun, DEMIAN (aka Sohn Jeong Hyuck), and Kim Dong-Gyu. Star Search 2024 alum Gladys Bay makes her K-drama debut as a Singaporean exchange student.
