TV THIS WEEK: Luca and Black Summer premiere; new LEGO Masters, Loki, Van Helsing & more

By Trent Moore
LEGO Masters Season 2

From bloody zombie action, gorgeous Pixar adventures, and time-twisting superhero adventures — this week on TV has a little something for everyone. Let's open a portal and step on in.

The big story is arguably on Disney+, where the latest original Pixar film Luca comes straight to streaming. The story promises a classic Pixar-y tale on wonder, with two sea monsters turning human and trying out life on dry land. Then, of course, the service also has a new episode of acclaimed Marvel series Loki, too. If you're looking for something a bit more dangerous, Netflix has the second season of its zombie thriller Black Summer and SYFY has a new episode of Van Helsing.

If you're in the mood for something a bit more constructive (and destructive, at least this week), the latest episode of Fox's LEGO Masters puts the builders to the test with extra-high buildings facing simulated earthquakes to see which build will be the one left standing. The CW is bringing a loaded schedule this week led by its league of super-shows, including a time-twisting DC's Legends of Tomorrow, a new installment of Superman & Lois, plus The Flash and Batwoman.

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