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.
This week brings no sci fi TV premieres, but three shows will be wrapping up. On Monday, the tenth and finale episode of the first season of AMC’s Dispatches from Elsewhere airs. On Friday, The CW’s Charmed wraps up its second season which was cut short by the production shutdowns. Then on Sunday, HBO’s Westworld has its Season 3 finale. Note that The CW’s Nancy Drew wrapped up its first season with its April 15th episode as apparently no more episodes were completed before the shutdowns. Over the next couple of weeks, the rest of the broadcast network shows will be wrapping up their current seasons as well (some with little in the way of advance notice). But there are more sci fi and fantasy shows set for premieres in May, and you can see the current 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.
