Sci Fi TV Premieres This Week:
Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix): Edwin and Charles are best friends, ghosts… and the best detectives on the Mortal plane. They will do anything to stick together – including escaping evil witches, Hell and Death herself. With the help of a clairvoyant named Crystal and her friend Niko, they are able to crack some of the mortal realm’s most mystifying paranormal cases. All episodes will be available on Friday.
Them (Prime Video): Season 2 centers on LAPD Homicide Detective Dawn Reeve, who is assigned to a new case: the gruesome murder of a foster home mother that has left even the most hardened detectives shaken. Navigating a tumultuous time in Los Angeles, with a city on the razor’s edge of chaos, Dawn is determined to stop the killer. But as she draws closer to the truth, something ominous and malevolent grips her and her family. All episodes will be available on Friday.
The Big Door Prize (Apple TV+): The Big Door Prize season two follows the residents of Deerfield as the Morpho machine readies them for the mysterious “next stage.” As everyone’s potentials are exchanged for visions, new relationships form and new questions are asked. The first three Season 2 eps will be streaming on Friday.

Just FYI, the season finale of Constellation (episode 8) on Apple+ was 3/27/24.
Thanks for the heads up. Lost track of that one.
WOW!
That is a *super-fast* returning for its 2nd season for BEACON 23!
Its first season ended just last mid-December 2023! That just *5* months ago!
I have to suspect they were given the go-ahead for 2 seasons from the start — that is way, way *TOO* fast not only for production, but for all the post-production as well!
**
Season 2 was already completed at the time that Season 1 premiered. It was originally supposed to run as a Spectrum original and on AMC, but they dropped it. MGM+ picked up the two completed seasons but has not committed to anything beyond that as far as I have heard.
BTW… Quantum leap is no longer on hiatus. They just aired episode S02E07 last night and have S02E08 scheduled for 12/12.
Interesting. The scheduled showed different. I will get that corrected and thanks for the heads up.
As mentioned in a previous comment, I’m still seeing past comments from a few years ago. Is this intentional?

Both are boring, unless you have the IQ of a potato.
The page has been up for over an decade. But perhaps it is time to clean off some of the older comments.
I believe what’s happened is, previously, the title/URL of these schedule pages included the week. A few months back you changed it to a single page, always with the same title/URL. I’m assuming this was the title/URL of this page originally. It looks like the switch to include the week occurred in 2021 (I know there are a lot of my own comments I made in the interim that are missing).

I personally prefer when you included the week so I can go back into the archives to look something up. Not a big deal, I was just wondering. As always, keep up the great work maintaining this page.
Prime Video’s “Gen V” had its 1st season finale on Friday, November 3rd, but you still have it both this week’s and next week’s listings.
So you know.

Thanks for the heads up. Will get that corrected.
For some reason, all the comments prior to my writing this one are from 2014-2121. Holy way-back machine Batman.
Regarding the integration of linear and streaming shows into a single place, I much prefer this over the previous separate but equal way. Here’s one vote to keep it this way for good.
wut?
Apple TV series “Foundation” premieres September 24, 2021:
https://www.techradar.com/news/foundation-on-apple-tv-plus-release-date-plot-cast-and-what-we-know-so-far
Thanks for the heads up. The current schedule covers through August, but I will be getting that added to the upcoming schedule.
The link for “You can see the complete list of streaming shows at this link” gives ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error.
Seems “scifitvsite.com” doesn’t exist. (At least for me)
Thanks for the heads up. That has been corrected now.
Appears to be doing it again
Hmmm… can’t reach this pageCheck if there is a typo in scifitvsite.com.
If spelling is correct, try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
Should be fixed (again). Thanks for the heads up.
The War Of The Worlds tv series?
Is there a release date for the show in the U.S. yet? Haven’t seen anything.
Why is there no mention on your site of the new HBO science fiction limited-series “Years and Years” (https://www.hbo.com/years-and-years) which premiers on June 24, 2019?
Wow! Thanks for the heads up on this one. I follow the entertainment news everyday, but somehow this slipped by. Far too many shows out there these days, and some of the networks are not doing a good job at promotion. I will get this added.
What’s with all the ads in between the days, or even there is the day, then an ad, then the listing, it’s really frustrating and annoying
Just testing some new layouts. There should be less ads now.
Yep, much more friendlier, nice
What is the reason why the weekly schedule has not been updated in 2 weeks now? Is there a problem? Thanks.
It has been updated. It is at this link: https://www.cancelledscifi.com/sci-fi-tv-schedule/weekly-listings/
Wellington Paranormal, a spin off from the movie “What We Do In the Shadows” debuts July 11 TVNZ2
It’s a faux documentary of police reality shows.
Salvation is on Monday Nights not Tuesday. The season 2 premier was on June 25th, Monday, June 25th.
Thanks for the heads up. It was originally planned to run on Tuesdays but got shifted. We missed that on the schedule, but it is corrected now.
Hello
Hello. Tell us about your website TV Promo Clips (http://www.am-min.com/). Looks like a good place to catch the latest clips.
I actually enjoyed Hunters. Not usually the type of show i like, but this was different. I’m so sick of all the “time travel” shows that are coming on.
I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU CANCELLED DOMINION AND DEFIANCE. IT SEEMS THAT JUST WHEN I GET INTO A SHOW THEY GET CANCELLED. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED
Any chance of getting Jeykll and Hyde mentioned on your page? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jekyll_%26_Hyde_(TV_series)
We primarily track shows that have had exposure in the U.S. Do you know if BBC America aired this one?
Is there a similar site for shows in other countries. There are so many good ones.
Not that I am aware of. I would like to cover at least some of the shows from other countries, but there are already way too many running hear in the States!
I also never understood why Destination Truth, Haunted Hiway and Fact or Faked Paranormal Files were canceled, They were some of my favorite shows on SYFY. I also really liked Ghost Mine.
They got cancelled because you need the IQ of a potatoe (note spelling) to stand them. Try “Celebrity Ghost Stories” for the good stuff.
These shows as she mentioned were good “entertainment”. Not for their “truth” or “fact” but just good entertainment humour.
Your link to “Blindspot” info is broken.
Ditto for “Supermansion”
It is now late August 2015. New and returning shows begin in the next week or so. Why are you so far out of date?
The Fall schedule is at this link (also noted above at the top of the page): https://www.cancelledscifi.com/sci-fi-tv-schedule/sci-fi-tv-schedule-upcoming/
The Fall season doesn’t actually kick-off until late September, so we were keeping the Summer schedule as the main page through August. That will get adjusted next week, though.
THE. syfi. Channal. Has. Canceled. A. Lot. Of. Good. Shows. Like. D.T. fact or. Facked. Hounted. Highway. Being. Humon. The. Syfi. Channal. Is. Not. That. Good. Any. More. They need. To. Bring. Back. The. Good. Shoes.
Dominion , i pretty much have given up on Syfy. I do like 12 monkeys which I caught on Demand its actually pretty good but it is on so late at night!!
How come “Other Space”, the Yahoo series, is not included? https://screen.yahoo.com/other-space/
So many sci fi shows on these days, it’s hard to keep up with them all. And we didn’t realize that one was currently streaming. But will get it added.
So, Syfy is continuing on their mission to kill off “Haven” I see. First, they run off the Zuckerman sisters and give Shernold Edwards way too much leeway with her scripts..alienating the core fanbase (though they are too loyal to leave) and then they keep jerking around the show’s time slot. Leaving it at 7-8pm on Friday is definitely the death blow. If they actually wanted the show to succeed, they would have put it back at 10pm on Fridays, so the US and Canadian audiences could go back to watching the show at the same time (and Tweeting about it together) like we used to.
Thanks Syfy channel for consistently UNDERfunding and UNDER-promoting this incredible show.
Can’t wait for heroes
Dude you forgot Continuum and Salem which I am loving so far. Continuum is better than it has been and Salem is well nothing really like on tv right now. Very different witch show.
Continuum and Salem are already airing. This is covering the Summer shows. Does Salem have supernatural/fantasy elements or is it mostly a historical drama as advertised?
Most supernatural than historical. EVIL WICKED witches. Loving this show!
Both are boring, unless you have the IQ of a potato.
