FRIDAY 8/16

Jonathan Groff

returns as FBI

agent Holden Ford

in the next eight

episodes of the

series. The soph-

omore season

focuses on the Atlanta murders

between 1979 and 1981 and intro-

duces Charles Manson, played by

Damon Herriman. (Netflix)

Will & Grace

After an 11-year hiatus,

Eric McCormack, Debra Messing,

Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes

reprise their signature roles in the

sitcom’s 2017 revival. The show

got three more years of laughs and

shenanigans, but the upcoming sea-

son (returning in 2020) will be the

series’ last. (For real this time.) Empire

After a year of legal issues with Jussie

Smollett, the Fox drama airs its sixth

and last season (Sept. 24, 9 P.M.). Cookie

(Taraji P. Henson) and Lucious (Terrence

Howard) hit rocky ground as they try to

keep their family’s legacy intact. Their

marriage hits a bumpy road, too, as

Cookie admitted her affair last season.

Will Lucious get revenge or will the couple

rekindle their flame?

Modern Family

The Pritchett family takes their final

bow as the beloved ABC series comes to

a close (returns Sept. 25, 9 P.M.), and no

one is ready to say goodbye. “My insides

are mush right now,” says Nolan Gould,

who spent 10 years of his adolescent life,

from puberty to adulthood, on the show.

“We’re all really enjoying our time spent

together. This is the most time I’ve ever

spent outside my trailer!”

Supernatural

“I don’t think it’s ever going to be over.

It’s just going to go away for a while.”

That’s an intriguing statement from Jensen

Ackles on retiring his Dean Winchester hat

after 15 seasons of the paranormal hit. The

actor and his costar Jared Padalecki made

the joint decision to end The CW drama

(Oct. 10, 8 P.M.) after one last hunt, but

Padalecki isn’t ready to lay the series to rest

either: “I’ll never say goodbye.”

Power

After a shocking finale, the Starz series

returns for its final, tension-filled sixth

season. Will Ghost (Omari Hardwick)

patch things up with wife Tasha (Naturi

Naughton), and will he finally get even

with Tommy (Joseph Sikora)? Creator

Courtney A. Kemp confirms not everyone

will survive, so it’s going to get dicey.

(Aug. 25, 10 P.M.)
