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.
Mid-Season is starting to ramp up and this week brings series and season premieres for five sci fi and fantasy entries. For those who bought into Disney+ last year but then were disappointed when no genre originals other than The Mandalorian were available, this week finally brings the first of the promised MCU shows. Wandavision debuts on Friday with the first two episodes available for streaming that day. The rest will release one per week. March will bring the premiere of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, and Loki arrives in May.
Two of the delayed CW shows will arrive this week with more on the way over the next month. Two Sentence Horror Stories has its Season 2 premiere on Tuesday and will be airing back-to-back episodes. Then on Sunday, Batwoman has its Season 2 premiere with Javicia Leslie taking over the lead role now that Ruby Rose has departed. Also this week, Servant has its Season 2 premiere on Friday on Apple TV+ and will be releasing one episode a week. And Part 3 of Netflix’s animated fantasy series Disenchantment bows on Friday with all episodes available for streaming.
More of the genre entries that were delayed from a Fall start will be hitting the schedule over the next month or so and you can see our Mid-Season preview at this link. Also be sure to check out our cancellation/renewal predictions for the second half of the season 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.
