Sci-Fi This Week: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Sees a Terrifying Future
Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy
The third season of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is clicking along on Tuesday nights with interesting new developments for its characters, and this week looks to be taking on a classic science fiction idea.
After Daisy (Chloe Bennet) gets a glimpse of a possible future, the team works to change their fate and prove that the future is not fixed.
Also this week: Sleepy Hollow wraps up its third season with the loss of a major character, while on The 100 Jaha tries to convince Abby to join his cause. And while we’re still talking (and screaming and tearing out our hair) about last week’s finale of The Walking Dead, this Sunday night spin-off Fear the Walking Dead picks up its second season as the families scramble to make it to Mr. Strand’s yacht to escape the undead apocalypse that it burning like wildfire through Los Angeles.
Over on Syfy, the new supernatural gunslinger series Wynonna Earp made its premiere last week and airs Fridays at 10/9c. Head over to Syfy.com to learn more about the show.
