Sci Fi/Fantasy TV Shows Premiering This Week
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Premieres September 1st on Prime Video): This LOTR prequel brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. The first two episodes will be available for streaming on Friday. [Note: Some sources, including Amazon ads, are showing a September 2nd premiere date, but the Prime Video page shows September 1st.]
Stargirl (Season 3 Premieres August 31st on The CW): DC’s Stargirl follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past. This new drama reimagines DC’s Stargirl and the very first superhero team, the Justice Society of America, in an unpredictable series. Premieres at 8 PM EST on Tuesday.
Pantheon (Premieres September 1st on AMC+): Based on a collection of short stories from Ken Liu about Uploaded Intelligence, or, human consciousness uploaded to the ‘Cloud’, Pantheon focuses on Maddie (Chang), a bullied teen who receives mysterious help from someone online. The stranger is soon revealed to be her recently deceased father, David (Kim), whose consciousness has been uploaded to the Cloud following an experimental destructive brain scan. David is the first of a new kind of being: an “Uploaded Intelligence” or “UI,” but he will not be the last, as a global conspiracy unfolds that threatens to trigger a new kind of world war. The first episode will be available for streaming on Friday.
Rick & Morty (Season 6 Premieres September 4th on Adult Swim): This animated series follows the exploits of a super scientist and his not-so-bright grandson as they travel across space and time. Premieres at 11 PM EST on Sunday.
