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.
Quite a number of sci fi and fantasy shows have joined the Fall schedule so far, and two more from the streaming services have their premieres this week. On Wednesday, Hulu’s season-long horror anthology Castle Rock returns for its second season (see trailer below). Three episodes will be released that day with new episodes available on subsequent Wednesdays. On Thursday, Netflix’s new post-apocalyptic series Daybreak has its debut with all episodes available that day. In addition, on Friday the British zombie-pocalypse series Zomboat!–which has already started airing on ITV across the Atlantic–will start its run on Hulu. There are still more Fall sci fi and fantasy premieres on the way and you can see the full 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.
