Sci-Fi This Week: Helix Premieres Friday!
Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy this week.
The new year has arrived and the winter television season is upon us! That means several new and returning shows are teeing up this month, while we’re saying goodbye to a few others.
This week most of the returning fall shows are still on hiatus, while most of the winter shows won’t begin for another week. So pickings may be a bit slim for science fiction and fantasy shows this week.
But the good news is that this Friday will bring the series premiere of one of cable’s most anticipated new shows: Syfy’s Helix (Syfy, 10/9c). We’ll have all the latest right here on SciFi Stream.
