At Starz, the supernatural thriller The Rook is making its debut, following a paranormal secret service. AMC also has its fresh horror block with Fear the Walking Dead and NOS4A2. The new season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. also keeps barreling ahead, with Evil Coulson in the mix as the team tries to figure out exactly what could be ending the world this season. Thankfully, most of the team is getting back together to avert yet another apocalypse.

Digging a bit deeper, there's quite a bit of paranormal reality and science TV on tap, along with the HBO premiere of the 2018 adventure flick Robin Hood. SYFY also has a new episode of Krypton, as Seg-El tries to put the pieces back together to keep his future grandson Superman in the timeline.
