This weekly feature is in addition to TVLine’s daily What to Watch listings and our monthly guide to What’s on Streaming.
With nearly 600 scripted shows now airing across broadcast, cable and streaming, it’s easy to forget that a favorite comedy is returning, or that the new “prestige drama” you anticipated is about to debut. So consider this our reminder to set your DVR, order a Season Pass, pop a fresh Memorex into the VCR… however it is you roll.
This week, you’ll find a whopping 32 finales (including the very last episodes of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, NCIS: Los Angeles and The Flash), a dozen returning favorites (including Happy Valley, How I Met Your Father and MasterChef) and 11 series debuts (including Michelle Yeoh in American Born Chinese, Arnold Schwarzenegger in FUBAR, and Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne in Platonic).
