TV THIS WEEK: Resident Alien and The Walking Dead finales; Manifest and Godzilla vs. Kong premieres

By Trent Moore

This week brings an avalanche of cool genre stuff to the TV and streaming dial, from a blockbuster movie premiere on HBO Max to some major finales and premieres that hit on everything from superheroes, to aliens, to the undead. Let's dig in.

On the film side, HBO Max's hybrid streaming/theatrical release strategy continues with the debut of Godzilla vs. Kong, which will open in theaters and HBO Max simultaneously this week. In other premieres, The CW has the season premiere of Supergirl and NBC has the season premiere of its twisty mystery series Manifest. SYFY is also premiering its Child's Play movie marathon, where the schedule will be taken over by a killer line-up of Chucky movies.

There are also some major finales this week, led by the Season 1 finale of Resident Alien on SYFY. But don't worry, the hit series has already been renewed for a second season. TNT has the season finale of its chilly, future-set saga Snowpiercer and AMC has the season finale of its extended season of The Walking Dead.

Outside of debuts and finales, there's also plenty of new stuff. Disney+ has a new episode of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier; The CW has a new Flash; SYFY has a new Wynonna Earp; NBC has a new Debris; CBS has a new Clarice; and more.

Check out the full rundown below.
