Songs in Sign Language
In recognition of National Deaf History Month, Disney Animation reimagines musical sequences from a few of the studio’s recent animated hits, revising these scenes to include interpretations of American Sign Language. Working with performers from Deaf West Theater, veteran animator/director Hyrum Osmond (whose father is deaf) has created new versions of Encanto‘s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” Frozen II‘s “The Next Right Thing,” and “Beyond” from Moana 2 with lyrics choreographed into ASL movement.

Foul Play with Anthony Davis
No sports star is safe from NBA All-Star Anthony Davis‘ new hidden camera prank show. Last year’s No. 1 NBA draft pick, Duke alum Cooper Flagg, is this week’s victim, sent by his Dallas Mavericks coach, Jason Kidd, into a rookie symposium that spirals into chaos. Another segment features NFL tight end Marcedes Lewis, who gets more than he expected when he drops his car off with a valet.

FBI
Special Agent in Charge Isabel Castille (Alana de la Garza) meets the new boss, Assistant Director in Charge Lawrence Green (Curtiss Cook), while her team investigates the death of an agent connected to the robbery of an FBI evidence locker. The trail leads to vigilantes who are going after a pedophile ring. Followed by CIA (10/9), with Colin (Tom Ellis) and Bill (Nick Gehlfuss) seeking a new asset to turn to stop a family-run terror cell.

Top Chef
A highlight of any season, Restaurant Wars divides the remaining chefs into teams of four, the composition of which was complicated by Jennifer bowing out for health reasons. The quartets have only 36 hours to come up with a concept, assign duties, build a menu, and open for business. This year’s twist: They’re also going to be accepting takeout orders! Things are going to get hot in these kitchens.
