TV THIS WEEK: Ghost Hunters return, The Terror terrifies, Preacher's apocalypse

By Trent Moore
The Terror Infamy George Takei

It's shaping up to be a spooky week, with The Terror looking as terrifying as ever — plus the OG ghost-hunting series back in action and looking for new cases to solve.

The new season of AMC's The Terror, featuring George Takei, has a new episode in the Infamy storyline this week with islanders being evicted from their homes. A&E is kicking off its revival of the Ghost Hunters franchise, with Grant Wilson assembling a new crew at a new network. SYFY has a new episode of the space action series Killjoys, which is barreling toward a (hopefully) world-saving series finale. AMC's Sunday line-up is also new, with Preacher and Fear the Walking Dead dropping new episodes.

Digging a bit deeper into the schedule, History's The UnXplained is turning its attention toward the question of life after death, AMC has a new Lodge 49, The CW has a boatload of summer shows led by Two Sentence Horror Stories, and TBS has a new American Dad.

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