TV THIS WEEK: SurrealEstate premieres on SYFY; Loki finale; Dr. Death on Peacock; Space Jam 2; Fear Street 3

By Trent Moore

It's a positively packed week, filled with buzzy TV premieres and plenty of major genre films on streaming. From horror to hoops, and ghosts to gods, let's dig in.

SYFY has the series premiere of its new horror-ish scripted drama SurrealEstate, which follows a real estate team (led by Wynonna Earp alum Tim Rozon) that takes on the deadly listings — ya know, the pads haunted with ghosts and ghouls. Disney+ has the finale of its reality-shattering, Easter egg-filled Marvel Studios' series Loki, and Peacock has the premiere of its new scripted thriller Dr. Death, about the real-life case of a doctor who goes rogue (starring Fringe's Joshua Jackson). Hulu also has the debut of American Horror Stories with a double-episode premiere.

On the film side, the big story is HBO Max's drop of Space Jam: A New Legacy, which will also be opening theatrically. The film follows up on the Michael Jordan classic, but brings on LeBron James this time around. Netflix has the third and final film in its Fear Street horror trilogy, plus mysterious, original scare-fest A Classic Horror Story.

Digging deeper, The CW has a new Flash (the first part of a two-part finale that will continue next week), Superman & Lois, and Legends of Tomorrow. Discovery has some fun Shark Week programming; Paramount Plus has a new EVIL (which was just renewed for Season 3); and Disney+ has a new installment of Star Wars: The Bad Batch.
