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 returning series (including new seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, DC's Stargirl and Titans, and the midseason return of Riverdale), a dozen series debuts (including Taika Waititi's Reservation Dogs, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard's Family Game Fight!, and the Fantasy Island reboot) and a smattering of films and specials (including an animated Descendants follow-up, and the third and final installment in the Kissing Booth trilogy).
