The TVLine-Up: What's Returning, New And Leaving The Week Of April 17
This weekly feature is in addition to TVLine's daily What to Watch listings and monthly guide to What's on Streaming.
With nearly 500 scripted shows now airing across broadcast, cable and streaming, it's easy to forget that a favorite comedy is returning, or that the new "prestige drama" you anticipated is about to debut. So consider this our reminder to set your DVR, order a Season Pass, pop a fresh Memorex into the VCR... however it is you roll.
This week, you'll find nine returning series (including Netflix's Russian Doll, AMC's Better Call Saul and HBO Max's The Flight Attendant) six series debuts (including Showtime's The First Lady and Prime Video's A Very British Scandal) and more than a dozen finales (including the very last episodes of ABC's black-ish and Apple TV+'s WeCrashed).
