The second season of "The Last of Us" ended on a cliffhanger. "The Handmaid's Tale" ended after six seasons, but there is more on the way with a spinoff planned. And for "Mission: Impossible," the U.S. franchise that may have overtaken James Bond in the spy-thriller genre, "The Final Reckoning" provided a way to bid the characters farewell.
With summer nearly here, we bid farewell to the fall/winter television season, chat up those two series, look to the future of "The Last of Us" and offer thoughts on Tom Cruise's final "Mission." (Or will Ethan Hunt return in the future?) We also look at some of the big trailers for upcoming films, including a reboot of a comedy franchise and how it addresses a controversial actor.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
