Supernatural series finale

It's a stacked week across the board, but Disney+ is pulling out the big guns all the way around with everything from fresh Star Wars to Marvel programming in the mix.

The Mouse House streamer is dropping the buzzy LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special this week, which reunites several fan favorite heroes for a wild, time-traveling adventure through the history of the franchise. Disney+ also has the season finale of space race drama The Right Stuff; the Marvel docu-series Marvel's 616; and a new episode of its hit live action Star Wars original series The Mandalorian. Not bad, right?

For OG network genre fans, the big story this week is on The CW: Supernatural finally bids farewell with its series finale after 15 monster-hunting seasons with the Winchesters. The network is taking full advantage of the moment with an hour-long retrospective leading into the final episode. Hulu has its fascinating revival of the cult hit animated series Animaniacs, HBO has the season premiere of His Dark Materials, and AMC has the midseason finale of Fear the Walking Dead (plus a new episode of World Beyond).

There's also a new NeXT at Fox; a fresh Swamp Thing on The CW; a Hallmark holiday flick with a sci-fi slant; a new Simpsons on Fox and more. Check out the full rundown below and let us know what you'll be watching this week.
