Sci-Fi This Week: Mid-Season Finales Abound, And Grimm Celebrates Krampus
Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy this week.
The fall season is rapidly drawing to a close, as several shows pull out all the stops for their mid-season finales — and others get ready for what looks to be a BIG January premiere month. (More on that later.)
Several of the shows that we follow look to be finishing up their fall seasons this week before taking the holidays off: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Once Upon A Time, Arrow, The Vampire Diaries, and The Tomorrow People. On cable, Haven will conclude its fourth season this Friday.
Meanwhile Supernatural and The Originals are already off until January, as is Revolution.
