TV THIS WEEK: Doom Patrol, Foundation, Star Wars: Visions and Midnight Mass premiere; new Lost Symbol & more

It's a loaded one for premieres this week, with everything from millennia-spanning epics, weirdo superheroes and a fresh take on Star Wars all buoying a schedule that should keep sci-fi fans locked in.

HBO Max has the Season 3 premiere of its acclaimed series Doom Patrol, which follows a ragtag group of heroes as they take on the weirder threats in the DC universe. Apple TV+ has one of its most ambitious sci-fi projects to date with the debut of Foundation, based on the Isaac Asimov book series. Disney+ continues its animation domination with the premiere of anime Star Wars: Visions, which reimagines the galaxy far, far away in a new form.

Netflix is rolling out its latest high profile horror series with the full season drop of Mike Flanagan's Midnight Mass, and NBC is premiering its reality-bending new drama Ordinary Joe, which explores how a man's life could change when one decision leads him down differing paths. Looking past the premieres, we have new episodes of The Lost Symbol and Frogger on Peacock; a new Marvel's What If...? on Disney+; and a new American Horror Story: Double Feature ... plus a whole lot more.
