Sci Fi/Fantasy TV Shows Premiering This Week
The Sandman (Premieres August 5th on Netflix): There is another world that waits for all of us when we close our eyes and sleep — a place called the Dreaming, where The Sandman, Master of Dreams (Tom Sturridge), gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies. But when Dream is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will change both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. All episodes will be available for viewing on Friday.
Schedule Notes
Three shows will be wrapping up this week starting with Tom Swift which has its finale on The CW on Tuesday. That one is cancelled but it is possible the character could make an appearance in a future episode of Nancy Drew. On Thursday, Moonhaven will have its first season finale and that one was just renewed for a second year. Also on Thursday, The Orville will wrap up its third season and there has been no word on a fourth year of that one yet. There are still more sci fi and fantasy shows on the way this Summer and you can see the premieres for August and beyond at this link.
