There's some fresh superhero and comic book fare on TV this week from Marvel and DC, but the big story is a Disney blockbuster skipping the theater and heading straight to streaming.

Disney's Artemis Fowl, originally scheduled for a theatrical opening before being bumped to a streaming exclusive in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, makes its debut on Disney+ this week. The film is an adaptation of Eoin Colfer's book, with a magical, Men in Black-for-kids kinda vibe.

The CW has several new episodes this week, led by new teen-centric super-show Stargirl, the alien drama Roswell, New Mexico, and apocalyptic thriller The 100. ABC has a new installment of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s final season, Showtime has a new Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, TNT has a new Snowpiercer, and DC Universe has a new Harley Quinn.

Check out the full rundown below and let us know what you'll be watching.
