Hello, friends! I’m Kelsey, your guide to all things pop culture for Yahoo Entertainment, and this is the It List, our weekly rundown of what’s new and notable. In it, I recommended a slew of upcoming releases to watch, stream, listen to, read and binge. I’ll walk you through my favorites.
What to watch
🎥 Speak No Evil makes its presence known
-
When: Speak No Evil is in theaters Sept. 13.
-
What to know: Fans finally get to see Speak No Evil after its trailer seemingly played before every movie for the last few months. It’s a remake of a 2022 Danish social horror film about how a group vacation becomes an uncomfortable trip from hell. [IndieWire/Deadline]

Why I’ll be seeing it: James McAvoy said he based his villainous host character on the influencer Andrew Tate. [Deadline]
📺 Sister Wives go their separate ways
-
When: Sister Wives airs on TLC Sept. 15 at 10 p.m. ET and streams on Max and Discovery+ the next day.
-
What to know: Now in its 19th season, the reality show has a title that isn’t technically accurate anymore — three of Kody Brown’s wives have left him, and the show now follows how they’re establishing new lives and identities outside of plural marriage. The trailer shows Brown’s remaining wife, Robyn, accusing him of “sabotaging” their marriage. [People]
-
Why I’ll be seeing it: I’ve been hooked on this show since 2010, and it’s finally interesting enough for me to openly recommend it to people.

A murder mystery brings together characters from Strout’s other books, including the beloved Olive Kitteridge from her Pulitzer-winning novel (and its Emmy-winning TV adaptation)! [L.A. Times/People]

Why I’ll be reading it: It’s set in Maine, where everyone seems to be going this summer, and I want to be transported. Read an excerpt here. [CBS News]

-
When: The Best Man’s Ghostwriter premieres Sept. 12 on Audible.

What to know: I’m not much of a podcast listener, but the Audible Original The Best Man’s Ghostwriter lured me in with its stacked cast. Glen Powell stars as a wedding speechwriter who meets his match with a hopelessly awkward new client voiced by Nicholas Braun. [Hollywood Reporter]
-
Why I’ll be listening to it: Powell might be having the best year ever but he told me it was easy to make time to record the show (with a little help from his dog, Brisket). [Hollywood Reporter/Yahoo Entertainment]
