Kings of Leon, Jack White, Sting, Banks, M83
Later...with Jools Holland returns for its 49th series with the sort of exclusives that makes it the key taste-making destination in music television.
Nashville's Kings of Leon return to Jools' theatre of dreams with their first album in three years, Walls, which finds them re-energised and returning to the anthemic sound and classic songwriting of their best work, thanks in part to producer Markus Dravs.
Jack White has appeared on the show with the White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Dead Weather, and recently toured and fronted not one but two bands of different genders, but now he makes his solo acoustic debut, re-interpreting songs from his back catalogue - many of which are previously unreleased, ahead of a whole album collecting acoustic work from 1988-2016.
Multi-Grammy award winning Sting has sold over 100 million albums and has been touring the past two years with both Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel, but he's also found time to make his first straight-ahead rock 'n' roll album in many a year. 57th & 9th refers to the street he crossed on his way to the New York studio where he recorded this thirteenth solo work, showcasing Sting at his canniest and most direct as displayed in new single, I Can't Stop Thinking About You, which echoes his work with The Police.
Stir into that, the dark R 'n' B of LA's Banks, who's about to release her second album The Altar, and Antibes-grown LA based Frenchman Anthony Gonzalez's band M83 with the delightful 80s inflected disco dream pop of seventh studio album Junk and you've got the kind of mix that only Jools can provide, all quality, no filler.

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days
On the heels of the success of 90 Day Fiancé and spinoff series 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, comes a second spinoff series 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
