TV THIS WEEK: American Horror Story: 1984 premiere; Killjoys series finale; new FTWD

By Trent Moore
Emma Roberts American Horror Story 1984

We have a big premiere, and a big finale, to kick off TV this week — along with plenty of new sci-fi to fill things in around the margins.

The latest season of FX's horror anthology American Horror Story premieres this week with the throwback slasher tale 1984. It looks to be a neon-soaked, bloody good time. SYFY is also bidding farewell to its cult hit space opera Killjoys for good, as the story of Dutch and her crew come to an end. If you're a fan of NBC's The Good Place the network has a special looking at where the series came from and where it's heading next. AMC also has a lot of its big genre shows new this week, led by Fear the Walking Dead and Preacher.

Digging deeper, there's a new Ghost Hunters, Pandora, The Outpost, and Two Sentence Horror Stories (filled with a few of the popular online shorts). If you're looking for a big ol' sci-fi flick, SYFY also has its network premiere of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

Check out our full rundown below and let us know what you'll be watching.
