It's a fairly stacked week with plenty of genre shows dropping new episodes, plus one of HBO's buzziest new shows wrapping up its first (and probably only) season. From The Magicians to Manifest, let's dig in.
If you're looking for schedule changers, look no further than the season finale of HBO's Stephen King thriller The Outsider. The entire season leads to a "climatic showdown" that should be a big one. The Flash and DC's Legends of Tomorrow are taking the week off, but don't worry Black Lightning, Supergirl and Batwoman are keeping the light on for the Arrowverse.
SYFY has a new episode of The Magicians, which has faced everything from Lebowski-like alt-universes to a moon-busting apocalypse this season. AMC has a new episode of The Walking Dead, which looks to finally kick off the Whisperer War in earnest as the creepy skin walkers finally come for Hilltop. NBC has a new episode of mystery series Manifest and HBO has the network premiere of Danny Boyle's latest flick Yesterday, which imagines an alt-reality in which The Beatles never existed (yeah, it's a weird premise, but Boyle nails it).
Check out the full rundown below, heat up your DVR, and settle in for a whole lot of good genre stuff this week.
