All good things must come to an end, and next week, that means the conclusion of *Fallout* season 2. In preparation for the finale, check out our latest cover story, featuring stars Walton Goggins, Aaron Moten, and Ella Purnell. And if you're looking for other things to check out, I finally checked out trivia competition show *The Floor* (all seasons on Hulu/Disney+) and have to admit I'm hooked. —*Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief*

Bridgerton

Each season of Shondaland's regency romance series centers on a different Bridgerton sibling finding the love of their life. And if you thought that format would become tiring by season 4, you're in for a welcome surprise. Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) meet at a masquerade ball and share a kiss before Sophie runs back home. Their story is a play on *Cinderella*, with *Harry Potter* alum Katie Leung deliciously filling the "evil stepmother" role as Lady Araminta Gun. The first four episodes of the season (streaming on Netflix) also finally show more from the POV of domestic service characters. —*Tiffany Kelly, Staff Editor*

*Bridgerton *stars and showrunner react to Benedict's controversial offer in episode 4: 'I was fuming'**

Stephen Fishbach used his two outings on *Survivor* as inspiration for this engrossing debut novel about a reality star desperately chasing former glory — where else? — back on TV. The book plays out much like the genre itself, with wild twists and turns you won't see coming. —*Dalton Ross, Editorial Director*
