Weekly roundup of science fiction and fantasy shows (as well as movies/specials of note) on the Prime Time TV schedule, also including programs that may be of interest to genre fans. Air dates and times subject to change without notice.
After a long absence, AMC’s Into the Badlands finally returns to the schedule to complete its third season (its last new episode aired in June 2018). It kicks off the last half of its third season on Sunday after The Walking Dead (see the trailer below), then moves to Mondays at 10 PM EST starting on March 25th. The show will be wrapping up after it finishes its third season. Also debuting this week is the throwback series Critters: A New Binge which has its premiere on Thursday on the Shudder streaming service. And on Friday, Netflix’s The OA has its second season debut with all episodes available for viewing that day. On Monday of this week, The CW’s Black Lightning has its season finale (that one has been renewed for a third season), and Legends of Tomorrow will be returning to the schedule on that night in two weeks. On Wednesday, Syfy’s Deadly Class wraps up its first season and Happy! will be taking over that timeslot next week with its Season 2 premiere. The Spring season is almost upon us and you can get a preliminary look at that schedule at this link.

Schedule Notes: If a show is listed as On Hiatus, that means that it is taking a break of more than two episodes in a row. If a streaming series is included in the listings after its premiere date, then it releases new episodes once per week on that day as opposed to releasing its entire season at one time.
You missed The OA season 2 premiere on Friday.
Thanks for the heads up. That has been added now. So many shows these days and Netflix is notorious for dropping shows on the schedule with little or no notice.
