At the start of Season 3, Jude has decided he doesn't want to deal with the stress of having a closeted boyfriend, but Zero wants to win him back. That won't be easy as Mean Girls hottie Jonathan Bennett arrives on the scene to complicate things.

Monday also sees the return of BBC America's Almost Royal, an improvised comedy following two low-ranking aristocrats as they cluelessly visit different American cities.

Even better, this season promises that Georgie and Poppy will learn about drag from Peaches Christ. Almost Royal debuts at 10pm.

Thursday at 8pm, its another hour of superheroes when the highly anticipated Arrow/Flash spin-off, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, makes its debut.

With a bisexual character (White Canary) and two gay actors—Wentworth Miller and Victor Garber—Legends is a welcome reminder that superhero shows keep getting better at LGBT inclusion. As for the story, this one delivers the unlikely team of heroes recruited into time-traveling adventures.

Speaking of CW shows with bisexual leads, Legends of Tomorrow is followed at 9pm by the third season premiere of The 100. The action picks up three months after the finale and there's a bounty for anyone who can deliver Clarke's head. Don't worry—there's also a secret plan to save her, too!
