What to Watch this week: Head back to the Outer Banks and bid farewell to Meredith Grey

What to watch this week (Feb. 20-Feb. 26): The final season of The Blacklist premieres, Party Down returns, and more.

It's time to take another trip to Poguelandia for the season 3 premiere of Outer Banks, which welcomes a treasure hunt bigger than what we've seen before, and with it a bigger and more terrifying villain — and, of course, plenty of romance between the Pogues.

On this week's midseason premiere of Grey's Anatomy, Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) bids farewell to Seattle; The Blacklist and Snowfall return for their final seasons; and after 13 years, Party Down is back for a new season with nearly all of the original cast (Adam Scott, Ken Marino, Jane Lynch, Megan Mullally, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen) plus a couple new additions (Jennifer Garner, James Marsden).

In theaters, Keri Russell, Alden Ehrenreich, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Margo Martindale, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and more go to battle with Cocaine Bear; and before it's available on Netflix, Idris Elba returns in Luther: The Fallen Sun. Plus, M3GAN and Babylon make their streaming debuts.

Hear more on all of this week's must-see picks on EW's What to Watch podcast, hosted by Gerrad Hall. Be sure to listen/subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts, or via your own voice-controlled smart speaker (Alexa, Google Home).
