TV THIS WEEK: Shadowhunters midseason premiere, The Gifted season finale, The Orville two-parter

There are a whole lot of deeper cuts hitting this week when it comes to premieres and finales — plus a genre-adjacent premiere that could be of interesting to sci-fi fans.

Freeform is lining up the midseason premiere of Shadowhunters, while Fox is wrapping up Season 2 of its X-Men drama The Gifted. The ratings for The Gifted have taken a hit this season, and there's been no word on a possible renewal. So, if you're a fan, it might be time to start ramping up those "Save Our Show" hashtags. Also, it's not exactly genre, but ABC makes its formal debut for spy dramedy Whiskey Cavalier, with The Walking Dead alum Lauren Cohan in a starring role.

Fox is dropping the second part of its ambitious two-parter for The Orville, which is tackling a very heady, high-stakes mission that would make Trek proud. There's also a new The Walking Dead, as the battle with the Whisperers continues to ramp up. SYFY is also dropping some new episodes, with both The Magicians and Deadly Class fresh this week.


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