Your TV GPS, a look at the week ahead in television, appears every Monday morning on BostonGlobe.com. Today’s column covers May 11-17.

For fans who have been hoping for some closure on the “Good Omens” series, they can expect a 90-minute wrap-up episode to drop on Prime Video Wednesday. The series, which was based on a book written by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, follows the adventures of an angel, played by Michael Sheen, and a demon, played by David Tennant, who are friends. The series had paused production after allegations that Gaiman, who created the show, had committed sexual assault, but it now returns for a finale.

Prime Video tries to figure out how much hockey-based romance viewers are interested in with “Off Campus‚” out Wednesday. The series follows collegiate hockey players and the women who love them. It’s based on a book series from Elle Kennedy. Presumably there are some number crunchers hoping “Heated Rivalry” fans will check this one out, but there’s no Connor Storrie or Hudson Williams involved, so we’ll see.

Courtney A. Kemp, who created “Power” on Starz, heads to Netflix for her latest show, “Nemesis‚” out Thursday. The series follows a battle of the wits between Isaiah Stiles (Matthew Law), a detective, and Coltrane Wilder (Y’lan Noel), the robber Stiles is convinced murdered his partner. If only Wilder could resist the siren song of that one last job. But … he probably won’t. Also, credit where credit is due: Coltrane Wilder is an incredible name. No wonder the guy thinks he’s invincible.

The Taylor Sheridan ranch-iverse continues to expand with “Dutton Ranch‚” out Friday on Paramount+ (Sheridan is listed as an executive producer for this one, but isn’t the showrunner; Chad Feehan, a writer for “Ray Donovan,” created this one). This latest iteration follows “Yellowstone” characters Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) in South Texas as they face off against some new foes. This time around, Ed Harris and Annette Bening have saddled up (subtle ranching joke!) to join the cast, and early signs are that they’ve given Bening some very glamorous western wear for the gig.

Lisa Ann Walter is probably best known these days for her work as Melissa on “Abbott Elementary” (yes, “Parent Trap” fans, I’m aware people loved her as Chessy), and releases a new comedy special Friday on Hulu: “Lisa Ann Walter: It Was an Accident.” So regardless of where you know her from, you can see what you think of her own comedy.

Shania Twain hosts the Academy of Country Music Awards, streaming live at 8 p.m. Sunday on Prime Video. It’s her first time hosting the show, and performers include Blake Shelton, Thomas Rhett, Avery Anna, Ella Langley, and more.
