TV THIS WEEK: Super Bowl LV; new Resident Alien; new WandaVision; The Expanse finale

Whether you come for the football (which should be a pretty good match-up), or just the commercials — the Super Bowl is the big story on TV this week. It almost always brings wild genre-ish commercials, first looks, and big trailers for plenty of genre properties, so there should be plenty to see, no matter what you're looking for.

Digging a bit deeper around the dial, SYFY has a new episode of breakout hit Resident Alien, plus a new installment of The Movie Show. Disney+ has a new WandaVision, as the MCU-connected series looks to finally pull the curtain back a bit on all those mysteries. Space epic The Expanse is also fresh this week at Amazon Prime as the penultimate season comes to a close.

If you're looking for something to make you colder this winter, TNT will be boarding an all-new episode of Snowpiercer. NBC has a new Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and Netflix is debuting the new family friendly sci-fi flick Space Sweepers (part of that whole "New Movie Every Week" initiative). The CW is also loaded this week with new episodes of Riverdale, Nancy Drew, Two Sentence Horror Stories and Legacies on the schedule.

Check out our full rundown below and set your DVR accordingly.
