8 p.m. on CW iZombie

Brains are still where it’s at for Liv (Rose McIver) as the fourth season of the macabre horror-adventure-comedy series begins with “Are You Ready for Some Zombies?” Our heroine undoubtedly is ready as she continues to ingest the grey matter of murder victims to determine who wanted them gone — and to secure justice for them in her very particular way. In this tale, the deceased was a huge fan of the Seattle Seahawks.

8 p.m. on AMC McMafia

British actor James Norton has built a substantial Stateside fan base playing the endearing Rev. Sidney Chambers in the PBS mystery Grantchester, but he undertakes a dramatic change of pace in this new series inspired by Misha Glenny’s best-selling book. Norton stars as Alex Godman, who has been raised in England by Russian exiles (Aleksey Serebryakov, Maria Shukshina) who have ties to the Russian mafia. Now he must try to shake his criminal past.

8:30 p.m. on CBS Living Biblically

Executive-produced by Johnny Galecki (The Big Bang Theory), this new comedy has a title that can be taken quite literally, since the premiere shows the central character (played by The Real O’Neals alum Jay R. Ferguson, pictured) trying to use the lessons of the Bible to navigate contemporary life. He quickly finds that’s not always easy, as good as his — and the Good Book’s — intentions are. The “Pilot” also stars series-television veterans Ian Gomez, David Krumholtz and Camryn Manheim.

8:30 p.m. on TBS Final Space

This new animated sci-fi comedy from indie filmmaker Olan Rogers revolves around Gary, a spaceman who is working off a prison sentence when he becomes friends with a new alien acquaintance named Mooncake. What Gary doesn’t know is that his new buddy actually is being sought by the villainous Lord Commander, who wants to exploit Mooncake’s hitherto untapped yet vast potential for evil. In addition to Rogers, the voice cast also includes Fred Armisen, Tom Kenny, David Tennant and Steven Yeun.

9 p.m. on NBC Good Girls

If you know the 1980 movie How to Beat the High Cost of Living, this premiere of a seriocomic show from longtime Shonda Rhimes producing ally Jenna Bans might sound familiar, but there’s definitely drama along with the humor. The “Pilot” teams Christina Hendricks, Retta and Mae Whitman as financially struggling moms who become unlikely criminals ... with their amateur robbery effort leaving a long trail, especially when they literally get away with more than they expected.
