TV THIS WEEK: WandaVision brings MCU to Disney+, Batwoman returns, SYFY's Movie Show

By Trent Moore
WandaVision

Two new super-shows premiere this week, running the gamut from DC to Marvel, so there should be something for everyone out there.

The biggest story is arguably the premiere of Disney and Marvel's first new MCU series on Disney+, WandaVision, which stars big screen alums Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany. The show's described as a twisty thriller that draws reality-bending inspiration from classic sitcoms that all eventually culminates in a full-on Marvel movie. On the other end of the spectrum, The CW's Batwoman returns for its second season, introducing a brand new character under the cowl as the show undergoes a major retooling in Year 2.

If you're looking for something a bit scarier, The CW also has the season premiere of anthology horror series Two Sentence Horror Stories. High-concept sci-fi? Amazon Prime has you covered with a fresh episode of The Expanse, which is still rolling out some explosive new episodes in its penultimate season. If you need a few puppet-starring laughs, SYFY's The Movie Show is new this week and all about the superhero genre.

Digging a bit deeper, Starz has a new American Gods, CBS All Access has a new The Stand, NBC has a new Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, BBC America has The Watch, and Hulu is dropping a new season of the kid-friendly genre project The Endlings.

Check out the full rundown below and settle in for a super-loaded week.
