The TVLine-Up: What’s New, Returning and Leaving the Week of Dec. 3
This weekly feature is in addition to TVLine’s daily What to Watch listings, our monthly breakdown of What’s on Streaming and our Holiday Movie Guide.
With nearly 600 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.
