This week, you’ll find more than two-dozen finales — including 19 season finales (such as Law & Order, Fire Country and X-Men ’97) and five series finales (R.I.P., Young Sheldon and So Help Me Todd).

If that’s not enough, the next seven days will serve up 10 returning series (including Bridgerton and Interview With the Vampire), and a smattering of award shows and primetime specials (including the Academy of Country Music Awards and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’s 10th Anniversary retrospective).
