TV THIS WEEK: Umbrella Academy returns, Muppets Now premieres, Wynonna Earp, S.H.I.E.L.D. and more 

By Trent Moore
The Umbrella Academy Season 2

Netflix is looking to save the world with a team of unlikely heroes once again with the return of hit sci-fi series The Umbrella Academy. This week also brings Muppets. Yeah, let's get into it.

The second season of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy, which is basically a twisted, weird take on the X-Men (to put it really simply), is back this week. If you haven't seen Season 1, catch up — because this show is great. Disney+ is also debuting its curiously weird Muppets Now "unscripted" series about the fan-favorite Muppet gang. That one is also set to feature a solid roster of celeb guests along the way.

Back to the TV side of the dial, ABC continues to roll out the fantastic final season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as the team returns to the 1980s to try and set the time stream right. SYFY has the second episode of Wynonna Earp's long-awaited new season and HBO has its network premiere of Taiki Waititi's wild Jojo Rabbit (which, while not exactly genre, does feature Waititi as an imaginary friend version of Hitler, so it adequately checks the genre-adjacent box).

Digging a bit deeper, The CW has a new Stargirl, Fox has a new Ultimate Tag, AMC has a new NOS4A2, Travel Channel debuts its new series The Osbournes Want to Believe and more. Check out the full rundown below and let us know what you'll be watching.
