TV THIS WEEK: Van Helsing, Manifest, Falcon & Winter Soldier, Black Lightning’s backdoor pilot

Looking for a bit of bloody, supernatural action and drama to fill out your weekend? Good news! SYFY's Van Helsing is back for a brand new season, and it's far from the only good show on the dial this week.

Along with Van Helsing's return with new episodes, the second MCU series at Disney+ is quickly barreling toward its (likely bloody) conclusion with a fresh episode, while NBC has new episodes of sci-fi mysteries Manifest and Debris. The CW has a ton of Arrowverse shows, led by the backdoor pilot for Black Lightning's potential "Painkiller" spinoff. There's also new Batwoman, The Flash and Supergirl (to go along with the network's usual slate of teen-friendly supernatural dramas).

Digging a bit deeper, SYFY has the network premiere of the shark survival flick 47 Meters Down and throwback sci-fi flick Cowboys & Aliens. The network is also dropping new installments of animated shows The Pole and The Summoner. AMC has a new Fear the Walking Dead, CBS has a new MacGyver; HBO has a new The Nevers; and a whole lot more.

Check out the full rundown below.
