Among many returning favorite aspects of Puppy Bowl, some new additions include Sesame Street’s Elmo and his dog Tango gathering the starting lineups for the coin toss.

SEASON PREMIERE!
The spy and the assassin have a date for one last deadly dance. The tale of Eve (Sandra Oh) and Villanelle (Jodie Comer) comes to an end in the fourth and final season of BBC America’s acclaimed drama Killing Eve. As Eve drifts deeper into the spy underworld and further from her “normal” life, Villanelle is making some major life changes with a new community. Meanwhile, Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) is going to extremes to track down the group of assassins known as “The Twelve” and find out who ordered the killing of her son. Laura Neal (Sex Education) takes over as lead writer for the final eight episodes, which AMC Networks claims will build toward “a messy, nuanced and totally glorious series finale.” “Killing Eve has been the most extraordinary journey and one that I will be forever grateful for,” Comer says. “Thank you to all the fans who’ve supported us throughout and come along for the ride. Although all good things come to an end, it’s not over yet. We aim to make this one to remember!” Premieres on BBC America Sundays beginning Feb. 27
ADULTS ADOPTING ADULTS
NEW SERIES!
In many parts of the United States, it is legal for adults to adopt adults as long as both parties consent. Why would people even consider this? Some want grandparents. Some want grandchildren. Some want stability. Some want to leave a legacy. Whatever their motivation, A&E turns the cameras on six different pairs who are considering adding an adult family member to their household. Are they being catfished? Does a criminal background cause alarm? There’s lots to learn before adoptions are finalized. Premieres on A&E Mondays beginning Jan. 31
