What to watch this week: New TV shows and movies you’ll want to see, and what to skip, from ‘The Traitors’ to ‘Wallace & Gromit’

Toronto: As we dive into 2025, there’s a ton of new TV and movie content hitting our screens. Whether you’re into gripping dramas or light-hearted comedies, there’s something for everyone.

This week, a mix of fresh shows and films are making their debut. Some are definitely worth your time, while others might be better left unwatched.

Let’s kick things off with *The Traitors (UK)*. The new season has already started strong, with some exciting twists. Three players were eliminated before even reaching the castle, which adds a fun twist to the game. It keeps the excitement alive while sticking to what fans love about the show.

Next up is *Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl*. This beloved franchise is back with Wallace inventing a quirky “smart gnome.” But things get a bit out of hand, and Gromit is worried about Wallace’s growing reliance on his inventions. It’s a classic tale of friendship and humor that appeals to all ages.

Then there’s *Vermiglio*, a touching drama set in 1944 Italy. It tells the story of a family during the war, focusing on the romance between a soldier and the eldest daughter. The film beautifully captures the struggles of women in a patriarchal society, making it a must-watch.

If you’re into reality TV, check out *Selling The City*. It follows an all-women team in New York’s real estate scene, filled with drama and personal stories. It’s a fresh take on the genre, especially with one cast member sharing her financial struggles.

Lastly, *Missing You* is a mystery thriller based on Harlan Coben’s novel. While it has a gripping premise, it feels a bit cluttered and rushed. The lead performance is strong, but the storytelling could use some breathing room.

So, grab your popcorn and settle in for a week of entertainment!
