Several shows end their seasons this year, including the biggest newcomer of the year "This is Us" on Tuesday. We may finally find out how Milo's character dies.
Nick Viall picks his lady he probably won't really marry on "The Bachelor" Monday and Atlanta's "Star" ends its first season Wednesday but will be back season two. Two shows shot in Atlanta return for their second seasons: OWN's 'Greenleaf" and Sundance's "Hap & Leonard" at the same time on Wednesday.
Fox's "Lethal Weapon," which has been renewed, ends season one as well on Wednesday while Comedy Central's "Workaholics" concludes its seven-season run the same night. The CW's "The Originals" will return for a fourth and possibly final season Friday a week after "Vampire Diaries" ended. And AMC's 'Into the Badlands" gets a sophomore year Sunday.
Later in the week, Netflix introduces yet another Marvel's show "Iron Fist," which is getting dismal early reviews .
