TV THIS WEEK: The Magicians season premiere; Outlander finale; Arrow and Black Lightning return

This week, SYFY is looking to cast a fresh spell with a new season of The Magicians, while the rest of the Arrowverse (or at least most of it) makes its midseason return. Plus a whole lot more.

The lead story this week is likely The Magicians, an all-new season of SYFY's acclaimed urban fantasy hit. At Starz, there's also the pending season finale of time-travel period drama Outlander. Digging a bit deeper, Arrow has its midseason return on The CW; NBC has an all-new The Good Place (which is in the midst of a positively bonkers season); and SYFY has a new episode of high-concept series Deadly Class. Fox has a new installment of buzzy freshman series The Passage, while NBC has a new Manifest — and that's really only scratching the surface.

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