Aug 29, 2024 3:49 PM UTC As the nights begin to draw in and the air gets crispier, the compulsion to nestle under a blanket with your TV remote gets harder to ignore. And while we’d never sneer at the impulse to rewatch _Gilmore Girls_ for the 20th time at the first sign of leaves turning orange, fall is undeniably the best time of year for new TV. There are brand new shows that already have our tongues wagging, like Netflix’s _The Perfect Couple_ with Nicole Kidman and _Grotesquerie_, a Ryan Murphy’ project featuring the NFL’s Travis Kelce. There are spin-offs from established franchises, like Marvel’s _Agatha All Along_ and _The Penguin._ There are returning favorites like _The Sex Lives of College Girls_ and _Slow Horses_. And shows bidding their final farewells like _Cobra Kai_ and _What We Do In the Shadows._ With so many titles vying for your attention, we’ve narrowed down the list of all the best shows coming your way this fall. ## **Brand new** ### **_English Teacher_** **(FX)** Sept. 2 If you’ve spent any time scrolling your phone over the last year, you’ve probably caught yourself chuckling at one of Brian Jordan Alvarez’s [carousel of characters](https://www.tiktok.com/@brianjordanalvarez?lang=en). There’s TJ Mack, the devoted husband who can’t stop singing about his wife; [Rick](https://www.tiktok.com/@brianjordanalvarez/video/7277683123909954858?lang=en), the Aussie good-time guy with a penchant for “lifting heaps,” and The Studempt, a vaguely European, vaguely So-Cal student with zero problems—each defined by their own janky Instagram face filter. Now, he’s got another character to introduce us to. _The English Teacher_, created by and starring Alvarez, follows a young teacher navigating the world of public high school education. And if you’re wondering, there are no face filters for this one. **Read more:**[ English Teacher _Is the Year’s Best Sitcom_](https://time.com/7013554/english-teacher-review-fx/) Watch _English Teacher_ on [Hulu](https://fave.co/4d84PA5). ### **_Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist_** **(Peacock)** Sept. 5 A heist on the biggest fight night of the year? The conceit is a classic plot device for a reason. _Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist_, based on the 2020 podcast from IHeartPodcasts, tells the story of how Muhammed Ali’s 1970 return to boxing in Atlanta went from the biggest bout in the world into one of the biggest thefts in the world. The show has assembled a who’s who of iconic actors—from Samuel L. Jackson and Don Cheadle to a reunion for _Hustle & Flow_ stars Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson. It also features Kevin Hart in a rare dramatic-leaning role. Watch _Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist_ on [Peacock TV](https://fave.co/4dKXpUv). ### **_The Perfect Couple_** **(Netflix)** Sept. 5 Nicole Kidman seems determined to dip her toe into every streaming service with a glossy, prestige series. After appearing on HBO, Amazon Prime, BBC, and Hulu, she’s now heading to Netflix for _The Perfect Couple_. Kidman, who plays the matriarch of an extremely wealthy Nantucket family married to Liev Schrieber, becomes suspicious of her son’s fiancée, played by Eve Hewson. On the eve of the wedding, a body is discovered on the beach, and soon, all the family secrets buried by power, money, and NDAs start to bubble to the surface. ### **_Three Women_** **(Starz)** Sept. 13 _Three Women_ has had a long road to the screen, but the adaptation of the [best-selling nonfiction book by Lisa Taddeo](https://time.com/5615623/lisa-taddeo-three-women-book-review/) is finally coming our way this fall. It tells the story of, you guessed it, three women, each with separate stories but with unexpected commonalities. There’s Lina, played by Betty Gilpin, a stay-at-home mom having an affair; Sloane, a successful woman navigating a happy open marriage with her husband; and Maggie, a student who accuses her English teacher of an inappropriate relationship. Their stories are told by a character played by Shailene Woodley, a proxy for the author who travels the country in a beat-up van looking for inspiration. Watch _Three Women_ on [STARZ](https://fave.co/47h72rA). ### **_How to Die Alone_** **(Hulu)** Sept. 13 Before popping up again in _The White Lotus_ next year, Natasha Rothwell stars in _How to Die Alone,_ a series she also created. The comedy follows a disillusioned woman who has never been in love and is coasting through her days as a bored airport worker but, after a brush with death, decides to grab life by the collar and stop letting experiences pass her by. Watch _How to Die Alone_ on [Hulu](https://fave.co/3MxILDQ). ### **_Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story_** **(Netflix)** Sept. 19 After striking awards gold with the true crime series _Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story_, Ryan Murphy is back for a second installment of his controversial anthology franchise for a trip to the ‘90s with the Menendez Brothers. The series stars Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch as Lyle and Erik, the nouveau riche brothers convicted of killing their parents, played by Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny, for a slice of their multimillion-dollar fortune. The trial became one of the biggest media storms of the decade, and if there’s one thing Ryan Murphy knows how to recreate, thanks to his _American Crime Story_ franchise, it’s juicy courtroom drama. ### **_Grotesquerie_** **(FX)** Sept. 25 Murders, gruesome religious imagery, demonic gore, Niecy Nash-Betts—yep, it’s another Ryan Murphy extravaganza. _Grotesquerie_ finds Murphy back in his early _American Horror Story_ mode with this horror drama about a detective and a nun trying to solve a series of, well, grotesque satanic murders in an ominous small town. The trailer gives little away about the actual plot, but it does leave you with that instantly recognisable Murphy shiver up your spine. Oh, the trailer also gives us one second of Travis Kelce—yes, _that_ Travis Kelce—in his actor era. Watch _Grotesquerie_ on [Hulu](https://fave.co/4eb0GMm). ### **_Nobody Wants This_** **(Netflix)** Sept. 26 Great news for everyone who was radicalized by Seth Cohen on _The OC_ in the early 2000s and has spent the last 20 years wishing Adam Brody would be in every TV show and film ever made—he’s starring in the new Netflix series _Nobody Wants This._ And if that wasn’t enough, it’s a rom-com too! It follows the unexpected odd-couple relationship between a rabbi and an agnostic woman. The show, created by multi-hyphenate funny woman Erin Foster, and inspired by her own life, also stars Kristen Bell and _Veep_’s Timothy Simons. ### **_Social Studies_** **(FX)** Sept. 27  Teens Bella and Holly in FX's Social Studies Lauren Greenfield/FX Plenty of documentaries have been made about high school students navigating the throes of adolescence through the decades. In _Social Studies_, the lens is firmly on the role technology and the internet plays in the lives of this current crop of teenagers. Having grown up entirely with the internet within arms reach (no big computers in the family room here), the series looks at how constant access to the world of internet trends, beauty standards, and 24/7 news access is affecting kids on the precipice of adulthood in L.A. ### **_The Franchise_** **(HBO)** October TBA  Jessica Hynes, Daniel Brühl, Isaac Powell, Aya Cash, Himesh Patel and Lolly Adefope Courtesy of HBO Armando Iannucci has taken a satirical sledgehammer to the world of politics, in _Veep_ and _The Thick of It;_ history (_The Death of Stalin_) and journalism (_I'm Alan Partridge)_. Now, he's aiming at the world of movie-making—specifically, superhero movie-making. _The Franchise_, which is co-created by director Sam Mendes, follows the production of a big-budget Hollywood and all the issues that arise when you bring together a bunch of actors in spandex tights. We’re already dreading and craving the discourse in equal measure. ### **_Disclaimer_** **(Apple TV+)** Oct. 11 Beyond a couple of small roles in shows at the start of the decade, Cate Blanchett is a rare Hollywood A-lister who has mostly ([though not entirely](https://time.com/5816353/mrs-america-fx-hulu-review/)) ignored the lure of prestige TV. Until now. In the psychological thriller _Disclaimer_, Blanchett stars as a journalist who discovers she is a prominent part of a new novel, and it exposes a secret she’s been trying to keep hidden. In typical Apple TV+ fashion, the producers roped in a celebrated auteur behind the camera, Alfonso Cuarón, which probably goes some of the way to explaining why Blanchett is returning to TV. The show also stars Kevin Kline. Watch _Disclaimer_ on [Apple TV+](https://fave.co/3Th4IuD). ### **_Before_** **(Apple TV+)** Oct. 25  Judith Light and Billy Crystal in Before Courtesy of Apple TV+ Billy Crystal is shedding his comedy persona for this delve into the world of psychological thrillers with _Before_, a series he is executive producing for Apple TV+. In it, he stars as Eli, a child psychiatrist who, after losing his wife, works with a troubled young boy who seems to have some kind of ominous connection to his past. The series also stars Rosie Perez and Judith Light as Crystal’s late wife. Watch _Before_ on [Apple TV+](https://fave.co/3Z9Jlza). ### **_A Man on the Inside_** **(Netflix)** November TBA  Ted Danson in A Man on the Inside Courtesy of Netflix Four years after wrapping up their afterlife comedy [_The Good Place_](https://time.com/5770162/the-good-place-last-good-sit-com-review/)_,_ Ted Danson and Mike Schur are teaming up again_._ The series is based on the Oscar-nominated documentary _The Mole Agent_, and follows a retiree who answers an ad to become a mole in a secret investigation inside a retirement home. There will be a handful of familiar faces returning from the wider Schur-iverse, like _Brooklyn Nine-Nine_’s Stephanie Beatriz and _The Good Place_’s Marc Evan Jackson. ### **_Say Nothing_** **(FX/Hulu)** Nov. 14  Hazel Doupe and Lola Petticrew in Say Nothing Courtesy of FX In recent years, we’ve had a handful of shows that have touched on the still-open wound of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. While _Derry Girls_ and the recent Netflix series _Bodkin_ gave them a comedic touch, _Say Nothing_ is a murder mystery set against the backdrop of 40 years of unrest. The series, based on Patrick Radden Keefe’s award-winning 2019 nonfiction book, opens with the disappearance of a single mother in 1972, and spans the decades since as the story slowly unfolds. ### **_Landman_** **(Paramount+)** Nov. 17  Billy Bob Thornton in Landman Courtesy of Paramount+ The Taylor Sheridan TV industrial complex shows no signs of slowing down. After the enormous success of _Yellowstone_ and its spin-offs _1883_ and _1923,_ as well as _Tulsa King_ and _Mayor of Kingstown,_ Sheridan is back with _Landman_, a series based on the podcast _Boomtown_ about Texas’ oil industry. Billy Bob Thornton will be bringing his Southern drawl to the upstairs-downstairs style series as a crisis executive at an oil company. ### **_Interior Chinatown_** **(Hulu)** Nov. 19  Jimmy O. Yang in Interior Chinatown Courtesy of Hulu Charles Yu’s award-winning 2020 novel _Interior Chinatown_ is coming to the small screen, with Yu as showrunner. The story follows Willis Wu, played in the series by comedian [Jimmy O. Yang](https://time.com/4599267/jimmy-yang-patriots-day/), a struggling character actor idling away in background TV work who finds himself in the spotlight after witnessing a crime in Chinatown. While navigating newfound fame, he also investigates and ends up uncovering a web of secrets beneath the vibrant neighborhood’s lights. Watch _Interior Chinatown_ on [Hulu](https://fave.co/4g8cwsB). ### **_Senna_** **(Netflix)** Nov. 29 Back in 2010, [Asif Kapadia](https://time.com/3970718/amy-winehouse-documentary-disney-citizenfour/) released his critically acclaimed documentary about the life of Brazilian race car legend Ayrton Senna. Now, Senna is getting the drama treatment in a new series that follows his racing roots from the beginning of his career to his death at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. The show was made in partnership with Senna’s family, who’ve promised there will be elements of his story that have never been heard before. Senna is played by Gabriel Leone, who is something of an old hand when it comes to playing Formula 1 drivers—he was last seen as Spanish driver Alfonso de Portago in Michael Mann’s _Ferrari._ ## **Returning** ### **_Slow Horses_** **Season 4 (Apple TV+)** Sept. 4 The initial buzz for _Slow Horses_ was, well, slow. But as it enters its fourth season, just about everyone who has seen it shouts that it's the best show on TV right now. The comedic British spy thriller stars Gary Oldman and is based on a series of novels by writer Mick Herron which follow the happenings of the agents of Slough House, a purgatory for MI5 agents who haven’t been fired but have been left to waste away in administrative boredom. Already greenlit for a fifth outing, this season will delve further into the backstories of Slough House’s residents. Watch_Slow Horses_ on [Apple TV+](https://fave.co/3Mzg4qh). ### **_Selling Sunset_** **Season 8 (Netflix)** Sept. 6 More multimillion-dollar houses, more intra-office drama in the Oppenheimer Group, more nonsensical transition music and more completely inappropriate outfits for work. What else can be said about _Selling Sunset_ Season 8? ### **_The Old Man_** **Season 2 (Hulu)** Sept. 12 Jeff Bridges is back as the [titular old man](https://time.com/6186093/old-man-review-fx/), although that moniker isn’t as mean as it sounds. He stars as a former CIA agent who finds himself on the run after killing an intruder in his home. Part _Taken_, part _The Odd Couple_, _The Old Man_’s second season sees Bridges and co-star John Lithgow attempt to save an FBI protege, played by Alia Shawcat, from the clutches of a terrorist warlord in Afghanistan. Watch _The Old Man_ on [Hulu](https://fave.co/4g75bcF). ### **_Emily in Paris_** **, Season 4 Part 2 (Netflix)** Sept. 12 Yes, she’s still in Paris. Emily’s latest escapades on the continent kicked off in August and, in typical Netflix fashion, will return for its second part this fall. Part 1 was a rollercoaster, with workplace assault allegations, [false pregnancy tests](https://time.com/7011338/emily-in-paris-camille-pregnancy/) and three seasons of sexual tension bubbling over, but Part 2 seems to suggest things could be looking up for everyone’s favorite (or not) social media guru. **Read more:** [Emily in Paris _Is Ridiculous, But It’s Not Stupid_](https://time.com/7011375/emily-in-paris-appreciation/) ### **_Heartstopper_** **Season 3 (Netflix)** Oct. 3 It’s officially autumn when those animated _Heartstopper_ leaves pop up on our screens again. The sickly-sweet teen series that follows the adolescent romance of Nick and Charlie and their web of queer friends is back for a third season. While its first two outings were cup mug-of-hot-chocolate levels of comforting, its third outing promises to be a bit darker, as themes like anxiety, eating disorders, and parental abandonment made their way into the last few episodes. **Read more:** [_How_ Heartstopper _Helped Young Fans Around the World Come to Terms With Their Sexuality_](https://time.com/6301556/heartstopper-netflix-season-2-fans/) ### **_The Diplomat_** **Season 2 (Netflix)** Oct. 31  Keri Russell in Season 2 of The Diplomat Courtesy of Netflix _The Diplomat_’s first season ended on an explosive cliffhanger. The show follows the trials of the new U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom (Keri Russell) as she balances her tumultuous relationship with her ambitious husband (Rufus Sewell) while fending off basically every international disaster known to man, including a conspiracy that threatens to detonate geopolitics forever. Allison Janney is heading back to her _The West Wing_ roots as she joins the second season. ### **_The Sex Lives of College Girls_** **Season 3 (Max)** November TBA  Pauline Chalamet. Gracie Lawrence, and Amrit Kaur in Season 3 of The Sex Lives of College Girls Courtesy of Max Mindy Kaling’s _The Sex Lives of College Girls_ was one of those Max shows fans were scared would get the chop after its second season, but thankfully, it lives to see another day. Still, it’s not without its casualties. The show, about a group of freshmen navigating college life, stars Amrit Kaur, Alyah Chanelle Scott, Pauline Chalamet and Renée Rapp. Rapp, however, announced a few months back that she will only be returning for a handful of episodes this season before departing for good to focus on her [exploding music career](https://time.com/6305227/renee-rapp-snow-angel-interview/) instead. But as anyone who experienced college will tell you, you don’t need long to make good-bad decisions! Watch _The Sex Lives of College Girls_ on [MAX](https://fave.co/47byuXE). ### **_Bad Sisters_** **Season 2 (Apple TV+)** Nov. 13  Sarah Greene, Eva Birthistle, Sharon Horgan, Anne-Marie Duff, and Eve Hewson in Season 2 of Bad Sisters Courtesy of Apple TV+ [_Bad Sisters_](https://time.com/6206724/bad-sisters-review-apple/) was originally intended as a standalone mini-series, but when everyone went crazy for the Irish dark comedy, producers (and co-creator and star Sharon Horgan) quickly got working on a story for season 2\. The first season followed five sisters embroiled in an insurance investigation into the death of one of their abusive husbands. One of them did murder him, but the sleuths can never find that out! The second season will jump ahead two years, and while the sisters may have moved on with their lives, past truths come to light and throw them back into chaos together. Watch_Bad Sisters_ on [Apple TV+](https://fave.co/4dKZS1d). ## **Spin-offs** ### **_American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez_** **(FX)** Sept. 17 If there’s a shocking American story dripping in tragedy and public scandal, you best believe Ryan Murphy will be there adapting it for the screen. As an offshoot of his _American Crime Story_ franchise, _American Sports Story_ will kick off with the story of [Aaron Hernandez](https://time.com/5764870/aaron-hernandez-netflix-documentary-killer-inside/), the NFL player convicted of the murder of his sister-in-law’s fiancé. Rather than land us in the courtroom, the series, which stars Josh Andrés Rivera, will dissect the power of football in American culture and the tragedy of Hernandez’s place in it, especially regarding the brain-altering CTE he was found to suffer from posthumously. Watch _American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez_ on [Hulu](https://fave.co/47eeYd1). ### **_Agatha All Along_** **(Disney+)** Sept. 18 After more than a handful of name changes, it really was _Agatha All Along_. The breakout star of Marvel’s pandemic sensation [_WandaVision_](https://time.com/5929715/wandavision-review/), Katherine Hahn plays Agatha Harkness who, after managing to escape Wanda’s simulated town of Westview, has to face the trials of the Witches' Road with the help of a ragtag new coven of witches. The series co-stars the legendary Broadway star Patti Lupone, as well as Aubrey Plaza and Heartstopper’s Joe Locke. ### **_The Penguin_** **(HBO)** Sept. 19 While it’s still up in the air whether we’ll get another Robert Pattinson-led _Batman_ after his 2022 outing, the Bat universe is being kept alive by Colin Farrell in a heaping pile of prosthetics. Farrell showed up as the legendary gangster Oswald “The Penguin” Cobblepot in Matt Reeves’ film, and this spin-off will dig deeper into his origins in the festering underbelly of Gotham. Watch _The Penguin_ on [MAX](https://fave.co/3Xdw7id). ### **_Dune: Prophecy_** **(HBO)** November TBA Are _Dune_’s Bene Gesserit a group of ladies we’d like to get spicy margs with after work? Not really. But they are arguably the most compelling aspect of the epic’s sprawling universe we only get a glimpse of in [Denis Villeneuve’s](https://time.com/6589871/denis-villeneuve-dune-part-two-interview/) big-screen adaptations. _Dune: Prophecy_ tracks the powerful sisterhood's origins 10,000 years before the events of the film. It will follow the Bene Gesserit’s founding sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen, who establish a lineage of women who obtain superhuman abilities to influence humanity for centuries to come, and stars Emily Watson and Olivia Williams. Watch _Dune: Prophecy_ on [MAX](https://fave.co/3XaKa8q). ### _Yellowstone_ Season 5 Part 2 Nov. 10  Kelly Reilly and Kevin Costner in Season 5 of Yellowstone Courtesy of Paramount+ The linchpin in the [Taylor Sheridan small-screen cinematic universe](https://time.com/6229017/yellowstone-red-state-fandom/) is set to conclude this fall...maybe. After a great deal of [reported drama](https://time.com/6257788/kevin-costner-yellowstone-future/) behind the scenes, the hugely popular Kevin Costner-led epic was widely assumed to be ending, though earlier this week [_Deadline_ reported](https://deadline.com/2024/08/yellowstone-season-6-kelly-reilly-cole-hauser-1236051345/) that stars Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are negotiating a sixth season. Watch _Yellowstone_ on [Peacock TV](https://fave.co/3Xc8YNd). ## **Final seasons** ### **_My Brilliant Friend_** **Season 4 (HBO)** Sept. 9 HBO’s adaptation of Elena Farrante’s best selling series of novels has picked up a devoted set of fervent fans since it launched in 2018\. The Italian story follows Lila and Lenù from coming-of-age teenagers to middle-aged women, tracing the ups and downs of their friendship as their lives diverge into adulthood. The fourth season will be its last and will wrap up in the 1980s. Watch _My Brilliant Friend_ on [MAX](https://fave.co/3Tgza8m). ### **_What We Do in the Shadows_** **Season 6 (FX)** Oct. 21  Harvey Guillén, Mark Proksch, Natasia Demetriou, Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak in a still from Season 6 Russ Martin/FX Nothing can live forever, not even immortal vampires who’ve been walking the earth for hundreds of years. The fan favorite _What We Do in the Shadows_, the spin-off to the indie darling film made by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement in 2014, is closing its Staten Island doors for the final time with its sixth season. While most of the plot is under wraps, the final season will make good on wrapping up the quest of Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) to find his place in the world of darkness.
