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:
Carol and the End of the World (Netflix): With a mysterious planet hurtling towards Earth, extinction is imminent for the people of the world. While most feel liberated to pursue their wildest dreams, one quiet and always uncomfortable woman stands alone — lost among the hedonistic masses. Premieres on Friday.
Schedule Notes:
Wrapping up this week is Rick & Morty which will have its Season 7 finale on Sunday. That show has been renewed through its tenth season. I reported previously that NBC’s Quantum Leap was on hiatus, but apparently that was premature. It aired a new episode last week and has another on the schedule this week. Below are the listings for the current week, and you can see all of the premieres for November and beyond at this link. The two-week view of the schedule is available here.
