Two popular TV series are beginning their second seasons: Yellowjackets on Showtime, and Schmigadoon! on Apple TV+. Ann Marie Baldonado spoke with Melanie Lynskey, one of the stars of Yellowjackets. It's the story of the members of a high school girls soccer team who survive a plane crash and must get by in the wilderness for over a year.

Schmigadoon! is a loving parody of musicals from years past, such as Oklahoma, The Music Man and Brigadoon. Terry Gross spoke with Cinco Paul, who wrote the songs, and co-created and co-wrote the series. Finally, TV critic David Bianculli reviews the new season.
