The TVLine-Up: What's New, Returning And Leaving The Week Of Aug. 1

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 a dozen premieres (including Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Mr. Corman, and new seasons of Departure and Naked & Afraid), 10 season finales (including Black Monday, The Chi, Kevin Can F**k Himself and The Mysterious Benedict Society) and a smattering of films, specials and daytime-TV events (including the HBO Max debut of The Suicide Squad, the very last episode of Hallmark Channel's Home & Family, and Meghan McCain's exit from The View).
