Sci Fi/Fantasy TV Shows Premiering This Week
UFO (Premieres on Showtime August 2nd): UFO is a four-part docu-series from J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot and Glen Zipper exploring our fascination with unidentified flying objects, and what clandestine influence the American government, lucrative private companies and the military may have in shielding the truth behind extraterrestrial phenomena to further their own agendas. 4-part documentary premieres on Sunday at 9 PM EST.
Schedule Notes
Apart from the J.J. Abrams-produced UFO docu-series which should be of interest to genre fans, the schedule for sci f and fantasy shows remains sparse this week.
