Sci Fi/Fantasy TV Shows Premiering This Week
Star Trek Strange New Worlds (Premieres May 5th on Paramount+): This Trek prequel is based on the years Captain Christopher Pike manned the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise. The series will follow Captain Pike, Science Officer Spock and Number One in the years before Captain Kirk boarded the U.S.S. Enterprise, as they explore new worlds around the galaxy. This first episode will be available for streaming on Thursday and the show will release one episode per week after that.
Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Season 13 Premieres May 6th on Gizmoplex): As Mystery Science Theater 3000 returns for its 13th season, the Mads – Kinga Forrester (Felicia Day), loyal henchman Max (Patton Oswalt), and grandmother Pearl Forrester (Mary Jo Pehl) – introduce the show’s biggest, maddest experiment yet! The first three episodes will be available for streaming on Friday.
Schedule Notes
Slipping into the schedule with little in the way of promotion last week was the time travel series Shining Girls. The first three episodes of that are available for streaming on Apple TV+. Several shows will be wrapping up this week starting with Moon Knight on Disney+. That one releases its season finale on Wednesday, and it has been pegged as a mini-series so don’t expect a second year anytime soon. On Thursday, Star Trek: Picard has its season finale on Paramount+. It will be returning for a third and possibly final season. And on Friday, the final two episodes of Outer Range will be available for streaming on Amazon’s Prime Video. This is no word yet on a second season of that one. There are more sci fi TV shows on the way and you can see the full schedule at this link.
