What to Watch this week: Bradley Cooper stars in Maestro and All of Us Strangers hits theaters

Bradley Cooper returns to the director's chair for — and pulls double duty as the star of — Maestro, about the complicated personal life of famed composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein. Cooper and his costar Carey Mulligan, who plays Bernstein's wife, Felicia, are both cemented in the 2024 Oscar conversation.

Also in theaters and with awards buzz is All of Us Strangers — part love story, part ghost story — starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal as Adam and Harry, strangers who strike up a relationship while Adam, a writer, works on a story about his parents who died decades earlier. Plus, Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, and Harris Dickinson star in The Iron Claw, about the wrestling Von Erich family. And on Netflix, Zack Snyder's space saga Rebel Moon debuts.

On TV, Survivor, The Voice, and The Masked Singer crown new winners, as well as the finales of Julia, Bookie, and A Murder at the End of the World. Plus, the series debut of Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the season 2 premiere of Dr. Death.
