‘Killing Eve,’ ‘Dead’ and More Finales, Zelenskyy on ’60 Minutes,’ Lying for Laughs, ‘61st Street’

Who will survive the series finale of BBC America’s twisted spy thriller Killing Eve? The Walking Dead finishes the second leg of its three-part final season, while Showtime wraps Billions and its Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber docudrama. Scott Pelley interviews Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a 60 Minutes exclusive. A new comedy celebrity-panel show on The CW challenges guests to figure out whose tall tales are actually true. Courtney B. Vance stars in AMC’s 61st Street, an urban melodrama about corruption within the Chicago criminal justice system.

Killing Eve

Series Finale

SUNDAY: “I’m complicated,” mutters Villanelle (Emmy winner Jodie Comer), TV’s most mercurial assassin, while her Tarot future is being read in one of the lighter moments of the kinky spy thriller’s two-part series finale. This last stretch has been uneven, to put it mildly, but fans will no doubt want to see if and how Villanelle and Eve (Sandra Oh) achieve their goal of taking down the leadership of the mysterious The Twelve, and who’ll be left standing. Suffice it to say much killing is involved.

The Walking Dead

SUNDAY: We’re now at the middle of the beginning of the end, with the long-running zombie thriller reaching the climax of the final season’s second of three eight-episode segments. This cliffhanger pits Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) among others against the Commonwealth’s power-mad Deputy Governor Lance Hornsby (Josh Hamilton), who’s found a new secret weapon: Daryl’s ex, Leah (Lynn Collins), a very grim Reaper. A noisy swarm of locusts provides an eerie aural soundtrack for this showdown, and the battle will continue later this year.

Series Premiere

SUNDAY: Emmy winner Courtney B. Vance and King Richard Oscar nominee Aunjanue Ellis lead a strong cast in a heavy-handed urban melodrama exposing corruption within the Chicago criminal justice system. Vance is public defender Franklin Roberts, facing medical as well as legal challenges after he jumps into the case of local Black track star Moses Johnson (a very good Tosin Cole), who’s on the verge of going to college when he runs from an ill-fated drug bust and is arrested in connection with an officer’s accidental death.
