Here is a list of programming option to expect on TV this coming week:

Supergirl is moving to The CW, airing its second season premiere on October 10 at 8 PM.

On October 11, the new Syfy thriller Channel Zero: Candle Cove will debut at 9 PM. The series, based on an unnerving tale written by Kris Straub that gained notoriety online as a “creepypasta,” centers on one man’s obsessive recollections of a mysterious children’s television program from the 1980s – and his ever-growing suspicions about the role it might have played in a series of nightmarish and deadly events from his childhood.

Also on October 11, the new show This Is Us will move to its regular timeslot of 9 PM on NBC followed by the season premiere of Chicago Fire at 10 PM.

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and Supernatural will air their season premieres on The CW on October 13 at 8 and 9 PM respectively.

On October 13, Falling Water is the new USA Network series that will debut at 10 PM. The mind-bending drama follows the story of three unrelated people, who slowly realize that they are dreaming separate parts of a single common dream. Each of them is on a mysterious and highly personal quest — one is searching for his missing girlfriend (David Ajala from Beowulf), one is searching for a lost child (Lizzie Brochere from The Strain and American Horror Story), one is looking to cure his catatonic mother (Will Yun Lee from Hawaii Five-0) — and it is the clues found in their collective dream that come to guide them.

The new Amazon series Goliath will debut online on October 14. A disgraced lawyer, now an ambulance chaser, gets a case that could bring him redemption or at least revenge on the firm which expelled him.

On October 15, Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel’le is the latest new Lifetime movie that will debut at 8 PM. Dicovered at a young age, the shy, squeaky-voiced Michel’le (Rhyon Nicole Brown) was plucked straight from South Central, Los Angeles and catapulted into the spotlight while riding N.W.A.’s rocket ride of early success. Surrounded by industry visionaries from Eazy-E to Tupac Shakur, Michel’le quickly climbed the charts; but, her musical successes were soon overshadowed by betrayal and corruption. A nearly decade-long romance with the infamous Dr. Dre (Curtis Hamilton) pushed her into a life tarnished by alcohol, drugs and violence until her savior came in the unlikely form of Suge Knight (R. Marcos Taylor), co-founder of Death Row Records and Dre’s business partner. Friendship would turn into a courtly romance, but the union Michel’le thought they had did not end happily-ever-after.

The series revolves around Daniel Meyer (Richard Armitage from The Hobbit franchise and Hannibal), who has just arrived at the CIA foreign station in Berlin, Germany. His mission is to uncover the source of a leak who has supplied information to a now-famous whistleblower named Thomas Shaw. Guided by jaded veteran Hector DeJean (Rhys Ifans from The Amazing Spider-Man), he learns to contend with the world of the field agent — agent-running, deception, the dangers and moral compromises.

Also on October 16, the new USA Network drama Eyewitness will debut at 10 PM. When two innocent teenaged boys secretly meet up in the forest, they bear witness to a shooting and barely escape with their lives. Desperate to keep their relationship a secret and in fear of being found by the perpetrator, they remain silent but soon learn that what has been seen cannot be unseen and when you witness a horrible event it changes everything, forever.
