This weekly feature is in addition to TVLine’s daily What to Watch listings and monthly guide to What’s on Streaming.

With more than 530 scripted shows now airing across broadcast, cable and streaming, it’s easy to forget that a favorite comedy is returning, or that the new “prestige drama” you anticipated is about to debut. So consider this our reminder to set your DVR, order a Season Pass, pop a fresh Memorex into the VCR… however it is you roll.

This week, you’ll find 36 premieres (including Supernatural‘s final run, Patrick Dempsey’s Devils and The Haunting of Bly Manor), six finales (including The Boys‘ sophomore closer and Room 104‘s last episode ever) and myriad specials (including an election-themed installment of black-ish and the vice presidential debate between Sen. Kamala Harris and incumbent VP Mike Pence).
