Good Omens season 2, Henry Cavill’s final Netflix Witcher episodes, and all the new TV this week
This is typically the time of summer where we’d be turning our eyes ahead, coming off San Diego Comic-Con with a slew of exciting new announcements for next year’s TV. This year’s event was far more muted amid the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. So instead of looking ahead, we’ll look at this week in TV in particular, which is bursting with highly anticipated new releases.
Netflix’s The Witcher returns for the final part of season 3, and the final three episodes with Henry Cavill as Geralt before Liam Hemsworth takes over. Before he says goodbye, however, he’s got to face down the big battle that part 1 left him and Yen (Anya Chalotra) staring down.
Also in big releases this week is Good Omens season 2, the long-awaited (and very mysterious) Prime Video follow-up to the first season (considered a “limited series” at release). On the one hand, great news that David Tennant and Michael Sheen are back; on the other, fantastic news that we get to see more of their Aziraphale and Crowley.
In other big adaptation news this week: Twisted Metal, the show starring Anthony Mackie based on the PlayStation games, also premieres (with its full season). While the original game had not much by way of plot, Peacock’s Twisted Metal gives the world a driving force and a hubbub of action.
Here are all the significant TV premieres (and finales!) this week:
