Fall brings cooler weather, an excuse to wear comfortable clothing, and way too much TV. Seriously, make sure you’re prepared for this. Take water breaks. Exercise to keep your blood flowing. In order to help you in the great effort to keep up with all this year’s fall TV, we’ve compiled a list of a few of the most notable shows arriving in the coming months and provided a full calendar of fall premieres below.
Top of the Lake: China Girl, September 10 on SundanceTV
The Portrait of a Lady team of Jane Campion and Nicole Kidman in the second installment of Campion’s grim Australian crime series, which stars Elisabeth Moss and will focus on a human-trafficking ring.
Outlander, September 10 on Starz
After what feels like decades since its last episode (but was in fact a little over an year), Outlander returns decades after its original setting. Now, Claire has a daughter, Jamie’s still stuck in the past, and everyone’s wishing they were in a different time and place. The usual!
The Deuce, September 10 on HBO
James Franco plays twins in this grimy look at the 1970s New York porn industry from The Wire creator David Simon, sure to come with sweeping social critique, and some rockin’ period automobiles.
Better Things, September 14 on FX
Emmy nominee Pamela Adlon directed every episode of the new season of her comedy, a semi-autobiographical riff on life as a single mom in Los Angeles, full of equal parts gross-out comedy and heart.
Star Trek: Discovery, September 24 on CBS/CBS All Access
CBS’s fledgling streaming service makes its biggest swing with the first Star Trek series since 2005. Episode one will debut on the broadcast network proper, before Discovery heads to the frontier that is the internet.
Will & Grace, September 28 on NBC
Twelve years after leaving TV, Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Sean Hayes, and Megan Mullally return to see whether the country’s still up for shenanigans that ensue when a straight woman and gay man live together.
Curb Your Enthusiasm, October 1 on HBO
Larry David is reviving his semi-autobiographical, fully cringe-inducing comedy series for a ninth season six years after it left the air, a scheme so daring it just might work.
Dynasty, October 11 on the CW
The 1980s soap opera returns to TV in a rebooted format with fewer shoulderpads and just as many terrible rich people.
The Last O.G., October 24 on TBS
Tracy Morgan plays an ex-con adjusting to gentrified Brooklyn after being released from prison after 15 years. He also discovers that his former girlfriend, Girls Trip standout Tiffany Haddish, is married to a wealthy white man.
Stranger Things, October 27 on Netflix
By all accounts — notably every interview with the members of the cast — season two of Stranger Things will be even darker and more intense than the first, but worry not, there will still be just as many delightful ’80s references.
Alias Grace, November 3 on Netflix
The Canadian super-team of writer Sarah Polley and director Mary Harron come together to adapt notable Canadian Margaret Atwood’s novel about convicted murderer Grace Marks — just don’t call her a murderess.
