TV THIS WEEK: Mortal Kombat premieres; Falcon & Winter Soldier finale; new Van Helsing

The Warner Bros. experiment continues, and this week brings the latest should-be blockbuster to HBO Max in the long-awaited Mortal Kombat big (small?) screen reboot. But that's not all!

Along with the likely bone-crunching premiere of Mortal Kombat — which hits streaming and theaters simultaneously — this week also brings the finale of Disney+'s hit MCU series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Though it hasn't captured quite as much attention as WandaVision, the show has more than proven itself as a compelling entry in the Captain America canon. It should be wild to see how it wraps up — and hopefully sets up Sam for his own Cap adventures.

Digging a bit deeper, SYFY has a new episode of Van Helsing; HBO has a new The Nevers; and NBC has new episodes of its sci-fi series Debris and Manifest (which is dolling out plenty of wild twists in its new season). Netflix has a blockbuster of its own with the space adventure Stowaway and The CW has a couple of new super-shows with Black Lightning and Supergirl. Looking for zombies? AMC has a new Fear the Walking Dead. And if you're following the awards beat, ABC has the Oscars this weekend.

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