Penny Dreadful
With Ethan, Sir Malcolm and Dr. Frankenstein (Josh Hartnett, Timothy Dalton and Harry Treadaway) scattered around the world facing their own personal demons, a despondent Vanessa (Eva Green) turns to Dr. Lyle (Simon Russell Beale) for help in rejoining the world outside. He, in turn, directs her to Dr. Seward (former guest star, now series regular Patti LuPone), an American therapist who uses an unconventional approach to treat her new patient in this Season 3 premiere, The Day Tennyson Died.

MIGHTY SHIPS
The series begins Season 9 with the new episode North Sea Giant, a vessel that performs powerful and precise lifts in seas as high as 4.5 metres, thanks to a specialized crane system and five propellers designed to compensate for watery turbulence because of weather. On this voyage, her crew aims to install a massive natural gas compression station underwater. (Discovery)

THE FAMILY
The new episode, Fun Ways to Tell Your Boyfriend You’re Pregnant, likely revolves around Jane ( guest star Zoe Perry) to a big degree, since she goes into labour when Doug ( guest star Michael Esper) cannot be found.
