Sci Fi TV Highlights: A look at the upcoming schedule of sci fi and fantasy shows as well as recent news and/or trailers of note.
Sci Fi TV Premieres This Week:
Gen V (Prime Video): Set in the diabolical world of The Boys, Gen V expands the universe to Godolkin University, the prestigious superhero-only college where students train to be the next generation of heroes. Beyond the typical college chaos of finding oneself and partying, these kids are facing explosive situations … literally. Premieres on Friday.
Castlevania: Nocturne (Netflix): The gory and gothic adventures of the Castlevania franchise continue with an exciting new setting and their highest stakes yet. A gripping story of love and loss, Nocturne marks an evolution to the original fan-favorite Castlevania Netflix Series. Featuring a never before seen origin story of Richter Belmont (gaming icon, and one of the Franchise’s most beloved characters). Bandana included. Premieres on Thursday.
Schedule Notes:
This week is the first official week of the 2023-24 season for the broadcast networks, but they don’t have much to offer sci fi and fantasy fans. You can read more about that at this link. Wrapping up this week is the first half of Futurama Season 11. That show will return with new episodes in 2024. Also wrapping up is Apple TV+’s Strange Planet which releases its season finale on Wednesday. There has been no word a second season of that show yet.
