A look at the upcoming schedule of sci fi and fantasy shows as well as recent news and/or trailers of note.
Schedule Notes
Starting this week, ABC is experimenting with running Disney+ originals in Prime Time, though oddly enough they are doing it on low-viewership Saturday nights. Ms. Marvel begins an encore run with three episodes airing back-to-back starting at 8 PM EST on Saturday. Expect to see more of this from all of the broadcast networks as they have less and less in the way of scripted programming available due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes. Below are the listings for the current week, and you can see all of the premieres for August and beyond at this link.
