Now that fall is finally in the air, that can only mean one thing (besides an abundance of pumpkin spice-flavored products): New TV shows are about to premiere. Between the traditional networks and the plethora of streaming services we now have access to, there's a bigger fall lineup than ever before, so there's a lot to be excited about as these shows begin to roll out now that September has arrived.
Of course, plenty of our favorite long-running shows are set to return in the coming weeks, including The Handmaid's Tale and even The Kardashians, but right now, we want to talk about brand new TV. This is stuff we've never seen before, and there's a good chance that we'll find our new favorite show among the ones on this list.
From fresh takes on beloved stories to totally new concepts, there are so many shows we're looking forward to watching this fall. Keep reading for all the details!
'The Rings of Power'
Even if you aren't a die-hard Lord of the Rings fan, Amazon Prime's new series The Rings of Power is worth checking out, considering the fact that, with a budget of nearly $500 million, it's one of the most expensive TV shows ever made. It hits the streamer on September 2, and will serve as a prequel to the famous Tolkien-inspired franchise.
'The Reboot'
In Hulu's series The Reboot, Rebecca Bloom (the genius behind Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) stars as a writer who is working on a reboot of a popular 2000s sitcom, but now that the cast is back together, the issues they've always had with each other come bubbling right back to the surface. Premiering September 20, The Reboot also stars Paul Reiser, Keegan-Michael Key, and Judy Greer.
'Wednesday'
Fans of The Addams Family are going to love this one. Directed by Tim Burton, the Netflix series Wednesday stars Jenna Ortega in the title role (with Luis Guzmán and Catherine Zeta-Jones as Gomez and Morticia). The show will be streaming starting this fall, just after spooky season.
'American Gigolo'
We've seen more and more movies adapted into TV series these days (A League of Their Own, anyone?) and now it's American Gigolo's turn. This time, it's all taking place in the present day after Julian Kaye (played by Jon Bernthal) is released from prison and is forced to confront his past. The show premieres on Showtime on September 9.
'Andor'
Andor, the latest Star Wars series from Disney+, follows Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) in the years before Rogue One when the Rebel Alliance is still being formed. Also starring Genevieve O'Reilly, the first three episodes of the series will be available through the streamer on September 21.
'The Midnight Club'
If you were a fan of Christopher Pike's books as a kid — or if your kids are reading them now — there's a good chance you'll love Netflix's series adaptation of The Midnight Club. Premiering on October 7, the show is about a group of patients from a hospice who gather each night to tell scary stories.
'Welcome to Chippendales'

'A Friend of the Family'

'Monarch'
In the Fox series Monarch, we learn the story of the Romans, a country music family whose legacy is in major jeopardy. It premieres on September 11 and stars real-life country singer Trace Adkins, along with Susan Sarandon, Anna Friel, and Beth Ditto.

Starring Hilary Swank and Jeff Petty, Alaska Daily is a crime drama about a reporter who needs a fresh start after her life falls apart, so she leaves everything she knows in New York behind in favor of moving to Anchorage, Alaska. The series will debut on ABC on October 6.
