The Bachelorette celebrates 20 seasons when it premieres on Monday night with Charity Lawson, a child and family therapist from Georgia. Expect plenty of former bachelorettes (and a few former bachelors) to appear throughout the season to cheer on the 27-year-old and offer advice.
As for why you should tune in, Lawson tells Glamour, “Not to take away from any other past seasons, but I like to say my group of men are very, very mature…for the most part.” Lawson says we’ll also see conversations take place this season that otherwise “haven’t really been given the space to be discussed on this show.”
“A lot of people will connect with those stories that are being shared—not only by myself, but from the men,” she says, adding that as a Black woman, she won’t shy away from topics like race and interracial dating as well as imposter syndrome and identity.
“That’s just a snipped of what’s to come,” she says, along with the typical drama and fun-filled fantasy dates of course. Check back tomorrow for more with the Bachelorette about her season and the finale.
In other news this week, there’s a new episode of And Just Like That…, which continues to get back to its OG Sex and the City roots. Speaking of fun and romance, check out the new film Daughter of the Bride, starring Marcia Gay Harden and Halston Sage, this week on Fox. It’s a cute summer rom-com that has something new to say about relationships for once.
On the more serious side, Outlander continues to wreak havoc with our emotions, especially after the most recent episode on Friday. We have a preview below, plus a lot more to watch during this final week of June. With that, see you back here next week for all things Fourth of July!

The Price Is Right (CBS): It’s the season finale today; more than that, it’s the last time the show will take place at Television City, its home for the last five-plus decades. Next season the daily game show moves to Glendale, California. You probably won’t notice much of a facelift, but it is the end of an era, especially for those fans who have made the trip out west.
