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

The second part of the debut of 24: Legacy will air on FOX on February 6 at 8 PM (the show’s regular time period premiere) followed by the new series APB that will debut at 9:01 PM. This new series focuses on sky-high crime, officer-involved shootings, cover-ups and corruption in the over-extended and under-funded Chicago Police Department. Enter billionaire engineer Gideon Reeves (Justin Kirk from Tyrant and Weeds), who – after his best friend is murdered in a botched attempted robbery and the killer remains at large – demands justice. Putting up millions of dollars of his own money, he makes an unprecedented deal to take charge of the troubled 13th District – and reboot it as a technically innovative police force: better, faster and smarter than anything seen before. With Gideon himself having created the department’s cutting-edge technology, this eccentric yet brilliant outsider challenges the city’s police force to rethink everything about the way they fight crime.

On February 8, the small screen adaptation of the box office film Legion will debut on FX at 10 PM. The series is about David Haller (Dan Stevens from Downton Abbey), a troubled young man who may be more than human. Diagnosed as schizophrenic as a child, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. Now in his early 30s and institutionalized once again, David loses himself in the rhythm of the structured regimen of life in the hospital: breakfast, lunch, dinner, therapy, medications, sleep. David spends the rest of his time in companionable silence alongside his chatterbox friend Lenny (Aubrey Plaza from Parks and Recreation), a fellow patient whose life-long drug and alcohol addiction has done nothing to quell her boundless optimism that her luck is about to change. The pleasant numbness of David’s routine is completely upended with the arrival of a beautiful and troubled new patient named Syd (Rachel Keller from Fargo). Inexplicably drawn to one another, David and Syd share a startling encounter, after which he must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees are the result of him being a mutant.

Reign will return for its final season on The CW on February 10 at 9 PM.

Also on February 10, the new Amazon series The Collection will debut online. The series is a gripping family saga where scandal and betrayal plague the Sabine family’s relentless pursuit of success. Set in a post-war Parisian fashion house, the Sabines have been tasked with restoring the city’s supremacy as the haute couture capital. The series explores the grit behind the glamour of a rising business run by two clashing brothers. Paul (Richard Coyle from Coupling and Crossbones), is the face and the business sense while Claude (Tom Riley from Da Vinci’s Demons), is the creative genius. They’re nothing without each other but their rivalry, deception and the hateful bargains they made to survive the Nazi occupation could threaten to topple this “first family” of fashion’s empire at any moment. The season explores the constant question, will their tenuous relationship and the ghosts of their past destroy their meteoric success?

On February 11, the new Lifetime movie Britney Ever After will debut at 8 PM, starring Australian actress Natasha Bassett as the pop star. That same night, the Hallmark Channel movie A Dash Of Love will debut at 9 PM, starring Jen Lilley (Days of Our Lives) and Brendan Penny (Chesapeake Shores and Motive).

The 59th Annual Grammy Awards will air on CBS on February 12 at 8 PM while that same night The Walking Dead will return with its mid-season premiere on AMC at 9 PM. Also that night, the Starz series The Missing will return for its second season at 8 PM. Also on February 12, the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie An Uncommon Grace will debut at 9 PM, starring Jes McCallan (Mistresses), Sean Faris (Cedar Cove) and veteran actress Kelly McGillis; and the Hallmark Channel movie While You Were Dating will also debut that night at 8 PM, starring William Baldwin (Backdraft) and Stefanie von Pfetten (Cracked).
