The hit horror drama series returns to finish out Season 9, picking up the action in the aftermath of Rick’s (Andrew Lincoln) disappearance. In the weeks that followed, Michonne (Danai Gurira, picutured) and the rest of the survivors have become strangers to one another, certain of only one thing: They’re definitely in danger. Worse, they’re becoming increasingly aware that the world beyond their circle doesn’t operate as they expected it to. Now they face a new threat, one against whom the old rules and procedures are ineffective.

8 p.m. on FOX Family Guy
Realizing that he’s not getting any younger, Brian (voice of Seth MacFarlane) has a moment of deep introspection that leaves him worried about what kind of legacy he will leave behind when he crosses that rainbow bridge in the new episode “Bri, Robot.” Fortunately (perhaps), his best human friend is a tiny genius named Stewie (also voiced by MacFarlane), who creates a robotic duplicate to his canine pal that can act as a living biography.
9 p.m. on PBS Margaret: The Rebel Princess
Queen Elizabeth’s beautiful and headstrong younger sister takes the spotlight for this illuminating two-part documentary, which concludes next Sunday. Growing up as Elizabeth’s only sibling gave Margaret a unique chance to push back against many conventions in an England that likewise was rapidly changing. In doing so, she paved the way for a new, less straitjacketed generation of the British Royal Family. Tonight’s opener looks at Margaret’s life up to her eyebrow-raising marriage to photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones.
