Sci Fi TV News

The first two episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will air on CBS on Friday, September 8th as part of the Star Trek Day celebration. And I would not be surprised to see the entire first season air this Fall considering that the network needs to fill space due to the impacts of the strike . . . In scheduling news, Creepshow Season 4 has received an October 13th premiere date on Shudder, and Upload will be returning for its third season on Prime Video on October 20th.
