Next Week in TV 1/16: The Yellowjackets off to break, Ozark and Britannia Returns, and More!

By Scott C. & DRWHO42 

The week ahead is light in things to watch, but there are a few notables to know. Of course, the times for everything mentioned below will be in the listing. Plus, we give you some entertainment news from last week.

First off, Sunday evening (January 16th) has the Epix series return of Britannia, while the first season of Showtime’s brand-new Yellowjackets show is coming to an end. But don’t freak out and go into a woody area, because Showtime has already renewed the psychological drama ahead of the finale. It was done so last month.

On Monday, January 17th has a few things to check out. The first is the Lego Marvel Avengers: Time Twisted special which sees our heroes (in Lego form) fighting Thanos, who can now change history with ease. Over on Syfy, the Resident Alien: Resident Alien Season 2 First Look special airs for all earthlings to check out. Then there’s 4400 returning over on The CW.

On Wednesday, January 19th, Disney+ has one (particular) streaming special titled Marvel Studios Assembled: The Making of Hawkeye for all Marvel fans everywhere to know how season one got made. Meanwhile, the second season comes to an end for The World According to Jeff Goldblum on Disney+.

On Thursday, January 20th, HBO Max’s Looney Tunes Cartoons series is back for some season four silliness.  

On Friday, January 21st, Netflix’s Pokémon Master Journeys: The Series: Part 2 returns from its winter break. Also, back for a fourth season on Netflix is Ozark.

In some recent news, the Disney+ series Moon Knight will finally have a trailer dropping this Monday night during the NFL’s Super Wild Card game on EPSN, which begins at 8:15 p.m. ET. For now, fans can watch the teaser for the upcoming trailer on social media in the meantime.

Fans of Batgirl got the first look at Leslie Grace in a batsuit for the upcoming HBO Max movie Batgirl. Her batsuit was for sure inspired by the newer Batgirl comic books. Now as for the film itself, which is shooting in Scotland, it will release sometime this year. 

Tim Allen will be back as Scott Calvin, or should we say, Santa Clause, for an upcoming Disney+ sequel series to The Santa Clause franchise. The production for it begins this March in Los Angeles.  

In some sad news, the world unexpectedly lost Bob Saget on January 9th. May he rest in peace.
