| Meerkat Manor: Rise of the Dynasty |
Trust me. I know what I'm doing! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, June 5!
Tonight, we go back to the Kalahari Desert for the Top Pick, a revival of one of my all-time favorite nature shows. Meerkat Manor: Rise of the Dynasty drops us back in the middle of the life of the Whiskers clan, where drama runs high like Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and the Roy family. In this iteration, we also follow the Hakuna Matata and Ubuntu gangs, the earlier is also related to the Whiskers. In the original Meerkat, there was romance, betrayal, coups, war, forbidden love, droughts, and more, so be prepare for more! Bill Nighy narrates.
Elsewhere, Kitty videos makes a movie, Hallmark goes Aloha, Jennifer Dulos gets Lifetime movie treatment, Norman wants to rid the Promised Neverland of demons, Discovery+ profiles highlining, and Food Wars makes noodles.
