There are many, many things to love about fall, most of which people who are obsessed with autumn constantly wax poetic about — from cooler weather and cozy sweaters to pumpkin-spiced everything. But, lest we overlook it in the grand scheme of this beloved burnt-sienna-and-burgundy-tinged season, fall also heralds the return of our favorite TV shows and the premiere of new ones. And that, my fall-loving friends, is definitely worth celebrating.

In fact, this year seems even more celebratory, considering the pandemic and then the writers’ strikes hot on its heels practically brought production to a halt for a few years. Now we’re in for what feels like a true boon.

Whether you can’t wait for one of your go-to TV shows to return after a lengthy hiatus (9-1-1: Lone Star, where you been?), or you’re looking for something fresh to fill your fall evenings after the kids go to bed (hooray for the return of school night bedtimes), you’ll find it below in the full schedule of shows for the upcoming season.
