This week's new TV lineup features the finales of two big shows: the celebrity-packed murder-mystery "Only Murders in the Building" and the Marvel witch-apalooza "Agatha All Along." Also on deck is "The Diplomat" season 2, which brings back Keri Russell as the harried U.S. ambassador in London. And Netflix unveils the reunion episode for "Love Is Blind" season 7.

Whodunnit? Well, we’re finally gonna learn the identity of Sazz Pataki’s murderer. At the end of episode 9, it sure looked like the culprit was Marshall (Jin Ha), the screenwriter who was revealed to be Sazz’s stunt protege. After many red herrings involving Westies, twin directors and studio executives, podcasting/sleuthing trio Charles Haden Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) finally look like they’re on the right trail. But can they catch the killer in time for Oliver and girlfriend Loretta (Meryl Streep) to say “I do” at their wedding?

Agatha wants her powers back and Billy’s looking for his twin, Tommy, but to get what they want, they’ll have to face the final boss: Death aka Rio (Aubrey Plaza). Though Jen (Sasheer Zamata) is still alive, the Road has claimed the rest of the coven and she could be the next to go.

Watch On

Love was truly blind in two cases in season 7 of Netflix’s hit dating show: Taylor and Garrett, and Ashley and Tyler. Only those two couples said “I do” (or even made it to the altar at all). We’re expecting them to be at the reunion, along with the other four engaged pairs featured throughout the season: Alex and Tim, Hannah and Nick, Marissa and Ramses, and Monica and Stephen. A teaser trailer also revealed that engaged-then-split couple Brittany and Leo will also make an appearance. Pour the tea, Netflix!

‘The Diplomat’ season 2 premiere (Netflix)

Watch On

This political thriller/drama was a very pleasant surprise last year, melding the corridor negotiations of “The West Wing” with the soapy kicks of “Scandal.” Season 1 ended with newly appointed U.S. ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) learning of a deadly explosion in London that involved her almost-ex-husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) — and came from inside the British government, not a foreign terrorist organization. Hal turns up alive and well and proves to be Kate’s only real ally in chasing down the truth. Their fraught marriage is not her only challenge, as she also has a complex dynamic with British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi) and a threatening visit from Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) on her hands.

Season 2 streams Thursday, Oct. 31 at 3 a.m. ET on Netflix
