Sunday, Sept. 9
Jim Carrey stars in a new Showtime series called "Kidding," which premieres at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The Showtime series isn't all jokes though: Carrey he plays a Mister Rogers-type TV host in a story that looks to be just as painful as it is funny.

Among the returning shows premiering tonight: Showtime's "Shameless" and HBO's "The Deuce."
Monday, Sept. 10
"Monday Night Football" is back on ESPN as the New York Jets face off against the Detroit Lions at 7 p.m. ET. The Jets finished a measly 5-11 last year, while the Lions were a pleasant surprise at 9-7. Matthew Stafford and company is back and looking to keep the Jets down, but not if Terrelle Pryor has anything to say about that.
Tuesday, Sept. 11

“The Predator” is back again and this time he’s brought along a new cast of friends. “Logan" actor Boyd Holbrook, the always adorable Jacob Tremblay and “This Is Us" star Sterling K. Brown star in the reboot of the movie Arnold Schwarzeneggger made famous in the 1980’s. This film is rated R.
For those not into action films, the R-rated “A Simple Favor” may be more your speed. Paul Feig directs both Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively in the mystery film about the disappearance of Lively’s character Emily from a small town. The supporting cast is pretty stellar too, including Andrew Rannells, Henry Golding and Aparna Nancherla.

Amazon will debut "Forever," a new show starring former "Saturday Night Live" co-stars Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen as a married couple reassessing their feelings on love, while Hulu releases "The First," a new show from "House of Cards" creator Beau Willimon, in which Sean Penn plays an astronaut attempting to colonize Mars. The fifth season of "BoJack Horseman" will also premiere on Netflix.
