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.
There are no sci fi TV premieres this week and quite a number of shows are not airing new episodes due to the production shutdowns related to Coronavirus (you can see the rundown of impacted shows at this link). The CW has decided to do an encore run of its Crisis on Infinite Earths cross-over event in order to fill up the schedule for the week. Parts 1 & 2 (episodes of Supergirl and Batwoman) will air on Tuesday. Part 3 (a Flash episode) airs on Wednesday, and then it wraps up with Parts 4 & 5 on Thursday (eps of Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow) on Thursday. Apart from that, the schedule is lighter than usual as far as sci fi TV shows, but there are still quite a number airing new episodes through the week. You can see the current schedule of sci fi and fantasy shows at this link, but note that all premiere dates are subject to change due to the shutdowns.

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.

Manifest on Monday the 6th of April, is Season Finale (episode 13).
Yeah, just discovered that. I thought it had sixteen episodes in its second season, but apparently only thirteen. Does not appear that the season was shortened due to the production shutdowns, apparently 13 eps were planned all along. Thanks for the heads up!
