38 TV Shows to Binge This Fall
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
Summer has come and gone, and with it went the thrill of the Paris Olympics, Colin and Penelope’s Bridgerton romance, and our weekly reactions to House of the Dragon; but as we head into the end of the year, there’s still plenty to look forward to on TV. After all, with the sun setting earlier and temperatures gradually dropping, there’s no better place to be than on your couch. While end-of-summer hits like Industry, Only Murders in the Building, and The Rings of Power are still airing weekly, a packed fall (and early winter) season awaits. True-crime adaptations abound (hello, Ryan Murphy’s Monsters) and books continue to head to the screen (like The Perfect Couple and Interior Chinatown). And if you happened to be missing Nicole Kidman from your screen, then you’re well in luck: She’ll appear in two more shows before the end of the year.
Here are dozens of shows we’re excited to binge this fall, listed chronologically in order of their release dates.
Slow Horses Season 4
Gary Oldman continues to lead a dysfunctional group of spies at Slough House, otherwise known as MI5’s rejects. Season 4 is adapted from the fourth book in Mick Herron’s Slough House series, Spook Street, and begins with a London bombing.

The Perfect Couple
Susanne Bier (The Undoing) adapts Elin Hilderbrand’s beachy murder mystery with a killer cast, including Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber, Dakota Fanning, Eve Hewson, and Meghann Fahy. Could we expect a Big Little Lies or White Lotus, but in a Nancy Meyers kind of Nantucket?

The Golden Bachelorette
The first-ever Golden Bachelorette is Joan Vassos, a school administrator from Maryland. After vying for love on Gerry Turner’s season, it’s her turn to hand out roses, with contenders including a rancher, a “girl dad,” a retired banking CEO, and a retired Navy captain.
Premieres September 18 on ABC.
Agatha All Along
WandaVision was one of the first (and few) official Marvel Cinematic Universe series to demonstrate that the world of the films could translate into inventive, discourse-dominating TV. But that was early 2021, and three years later the show—and Marvel itself—doesn’t boast the industry chokehold it once did. Still, beloved WandaVision character Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) might have something to say about that, should Agatha All Along follow the creative bar set by its predecessor. Hahn will be joined by Joe Locke, Aubrey Plaza, and Patti LuPone in the cast.
Premieres September 18 on Disney+.

The Penguin

Heartstopper Season 3
It’s hard not to fall in love with Heartstopper, the so-earnest-it-works romance that brings to life Alice Oseman’s graphic novel series of the same name. Nick and Charlie’s future is a mystery (unless, of course, you’ve already read the books), but expect plenty of romantic revelations—especially after that prom night.
Premieres October 3 on Netflix.
The Franchise
From the Veep creator and a Succession writer comes another satire, this one pointing at our superhero fatigue. The Franchise follows the crew making a superhero movie, and all the fuckups happening behind the scenes.
Premieres October 6 on HBO.
Abbott Elementary Season 4
It’s back to school season, which means Abbott Elementary is on its way back, and Quinta Brunson even teased there’ll be a major crossover episode. It will “change television as we know it,” she said. We can’t wait to see it.
Premieres October 9 on ABC.
La Máquina
It’s an Y tu mamá también reunion with Gael García Bernal starring as a washed-up boxer and Diego Luna as his manager focused on bringing him back to glory.
Premieres October 9 on Hulu.
Outer Banks Season 4
We won’t mince words: Action-adventure series Outer Banks has gone entirely off the rails. But that doesn’t make it any less likely to capture attention when it returns for another explosives-heavy, romance-soaked, gold-hunting chapter later this year. The series might have the gumption to turn things around after a less-than-stellar season 3. Let’s just pray El Dorado stays good and buried.
Part 1 premieres on Netflix October 10. Part 2 premieres November 7.

Teacup

Comedy-drama Somebody Somewhere has slowly gathered attention (and ardent praise) for its unflinching but heartwarming portrayals of grief, loss, laughter, artistry, and family. The third and final season is set to show “growth against all odds.”

Premieres October 31 on Netflix.
Sweetpea
With Yellowjackets, Fallout, and now Sweetpea, Ella Purnell is on a roll. In this so-called “coming-of-rage” series, she plays a wallflower named Rhiannon who develops a habit for murder.
Premieres in October on Starz.

Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2
Although the drama behind the scenes has, so far, been arguably more interesting than Yellowstone’s actual final season, the acclaimed smash-hit western will finally return by the end of 2024. After this, another season is on the way, and multiple spin-offs are already racing to take over the Dutton Ranch’s territory.
Premieres November 10 on Paramount Network.

Premieres on Apple TV+ November 13.

Landman
Another addition to the Taylor Sheridan universe: a drama focusing on oil billionaires in Texas, starring Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, and Jon Hamm.
Premieres November 17 on Paramount+.
The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 3
We have a lot of catching up to do with our favorite besties at Essex College, from the newly formed Kimberly-Canan-Whitney love triangle to Bela’s possible transfer. We won’t get much of Leighton, though; Reneé Rapp will make her exit after a “handful” of final episodes. But new characters will be played by Gracie Lawrence, Mia Rodgers, and Bottoms star Ruby Cruz.
Premieres in November on Max.
Interior Chinatown
This adaptation of Charles Yu’s acclaimed book stars Jimmy O. Yang as Willis Wu, an extra in a police procedural whose world changes when he witnesses a real-life crime. Ronny Chieng and Chloe Bennet star too.
