Sci Fi TV Listing for the Week of December 9th: Premieres for The Expanse S4 and Runaways S3

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.

The Fall season is almost over, but the streaming services still have a few more premieres left.  On Friday, The Expanse makes its long-awaited return, premiering on Prime Video (see trailer below) after it was saved by Amazon following Syfy’s cancellation.  All ten episodes of the fourth season will be available that day.  Also on Friday, Marvel’s Runaways has its third season debut on Hulu with all episodes available for viewing that day.  This will be the final season for that series following its cancellation announcement. Also this week, the Arrow-verse Crisis on Infinite Earths cross-over event continues with Batwoman in a special time on Monday and then carries over to The Flash on Tuesday. The latter episode will be followed by after-show Crisis Aftermath. The cross-over event will conclude in January with episodes of Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow. Most of the rest of The CW shows will be wrapping up their Fall runs this week and USA’s The Purge has its season finale on Tuesday. But there are still more premieres on the way before the end of the year and you can see the full schedule of sci fi and fantasy shows 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.
