TV THIS WEEK: Jupiter's Legacy and The Bad Batch premiere; plus Van Helsing, Debris, Manifest & more
One of the most ambitious superhero stories ever attempted in live action launches on Netflix this week, while a fan favorite Star Wars franchise comes back to life for more adventures — and more in TV This Week.
Arguably the biggest premiere this week is Jupiter's Legacy on Netflix, the massive adaptation of Mark Millar's acclaimed original superhero comic series. This week also brings the long-awaited premiere of Clone Wars spinoff series Star Wars: The Bad Batch, which (fittingly) kicks off on May the 4th. Digging deeper, we have a new Van Helsing on SYFY; a double header of Manifest episodes; and the conclusion to a jaw-dropping cliffhanger on Debris.
The CW is bringing its A-game this week, with new episodes of The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, Supergirl and more on the lineup. CBS has a new Clarice and SYFY has a few fan favorite movies with Ant-Man and White House Down on the schedule.
