In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, James Corden and country artists for ACM are both doing “at home” specials the week of March 30 on CBS.
Also, the season finale of “The Walking Dead” is happening Sunday, April 5, a week early because AMC was unable to finish post production of the actual season finale set to air April 12, also due to the pandemic.
Finally, “American Idol” on ABC will air its final true original episode on April 5, having moved it back six days. It was pre-recorded in January.
David Blaine on ABC is hosting a star-studded special Wednesday, Tyler Perry's OWN series "If Loving You Is Wrong" returns Tuesday for its fifth and final season and CBS's "Hawaii FIve-O" wraps its series finale Friday after a decade on air.
HBO also debuts two docuseries: “The Scheme” about a college sports pay-for-play scheme and “Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered Children,” which explores over five hours the complicated situation that overtook Atlanta in the early 1980s.
