But as the pair moves deeper into the gritty depths of the walker-infested city, it becomes apparent that the traumas of their tumultuous past may prove just as great a threat as the dangers of the present.  AMC.com

News and Updates: This acquisition for The CW originally aired in Britain on Sky in Spring 2022.  It had been renewed for a second season and production was about to begin on that before Sky pulled the plug.  The first season had wrapped up its storyline and the second season would have had a new cast making the show more of a season-long anthology.  The CW acquired the show to fill up space on the schedule, and it is unlikely they will be considering producing a second season.

The post The Rising appeared first on Sci Fi TV Site.

Schedule Notes

There are no sci fi TV premieres this week, but next week will make up for that with no less than six shows with new episodes hitting the schedule including Futurama Season 8 (Hulu), Good Omens Season 2 (Prime Video), and Harley Quinn Season 4 (Max).  Wrapping up this week is AMC’s The Walking Dead: Dead City which has its two-hour season finale on Sunday.  That one has been billed as a mini-series, but it could continue into a second season.  Over on The CW on Monday, The Rising wraps up its eight-episode run.  That is an acquisition from Sky in Britain and it has already been cancelled in that country.
