TV THIS WEEK: Project Blue Book and Legends return, Arrow’s backdoor pilot, and more

By Trent Moore
Legends of Tomorrow Constantine

The Crisis on Infinite Earths might be over, but there's still plenty of Arrowverse action on TV this week. Your favorite UFO hunters are also back in action, plus a whole lot more.

The big stories this week are season premieres for The CW's weird and wild team-up Legends of Tomorrow, as well as History's excellent alien-investigating Project Blue Book. Digging a bit deeper, Arrow is back with its penultimate episode, which jumps the action to 2040 and serves as a backdoor pilot for that Green Arrow & the Canaries spinoff. Elsewhere, Black Lightning, Supergirl and Batwoman are all still dealing with the weird fallout of a post-Crisis world.

Beyond that, NBC's The Good Place continues to march toward its conclusion with the penultimate episode before next week's two-part series finale. NBC has a new Manifest, SYFY has a new episode of The Magicians, HBO has the network premiere of recent horror flick The Curse of La Llorona, along with a new The Outsider.

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