The TVLine-Up: What's New, Returning And Leaving The Week Of May 15
This weekly feature is in addition to TVLine's daily What to Watch listings and monthly guide to What's on Streaming.
With nearly 500 scripted shows now airing across broadcast, cable and streaming, it's easy to forget that a favorite comedy is returning, or that the new "prestige drama" you anticipated is about to debut. So consider this our reminder to set your DVR, order a Season Pass, pop a fresh Memorex into the VCR... however it is you roll.
This week, you'll find 16 series debuts (including Emmy Rossum in Angelyne, Theo James and Rose Leslie in The Time Traveler's Wife, and J.K. Simmons and Sissy Spacek in Night Sky), nine returning series (including Legendary, a revamped So You Think You Can Dance and RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars), 24 season finales (including the 9-1-1s, the Law & Orders and Atlanta) and four series finales (including the last episodes of cancelled comedies How We Roll, Mr. Mayor and United States of Al).
