Sci-Fi This Week: Agent Carter Starts On ABC
Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy this week.
The Marvel universe gets a little bit bigger this week with the debut of its second television series, Agent Carter! The 7-part series will make the wait for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (returns in March) a whole lot easier, filling in some deep back-story with the adventures of Agent Peggy Carter (Haley Atwell) and the years following World War II.
It’s still a few more weeks before our other genre favorites return, but there is more to watch for this week. The Librarians is going strong on TNT, while Resurrection is back on Sunday nights. And FOX’s Monday night combo returns this week, with just two episodes left for the second season of Sleepy Hollow.
Here’s your schedule for this week in sci-fi television:
FOX, 8/7c
“Rogues’ Gallery.” Det. Gordon’s assignment at Arkham Asylum gets off to a rocky start when the murder of a guard ignites an investigation, leading him to meet Dr. Leslie Thompkins. Meanwhile, Cobblepot continues to build his army.

TNT, 8/7c
“And the Rule of Three.” When a group of competitive high-school students start undercutting each other with witchcraft, the Librarians have to intercede before disaster destroys them all.
