This week is a choose-your-own-adventure for TV premieres: Are you interested in a new murder mystery, complete with a time-hopping twist? You’ll want to check out Netflix’s Bodies then. Do you want to continue rolling through spooky season with some haunted delights, either fictional (The Burning Girls) or real-life (Living for the Dead)?
Also notably is the return of Rick and Morty for season 7 on Sunday, the first season after Justin Roiland’s departure. What that means for the show as of now isn’t entirely clear — there’ll be soundalikes in Roiland’s stead, but beyond that, it’s possible the multiverses of Rick and Morty have made Rick and Morty immune to big changes. Only time will tell.
Of course you can also skip that in favor of something a bit lighter, like the frothy boarding school pleasures of Elite or the intrigue of Upload, or even the dramedic stylings of Shea Serrano and Max Searle’s new show. This is all to say: the TV world is your oyster! And here’s the notable TV premieres for this week:
