Fall TV Preview: 28 Shows to Get Excited About
All due respect to our West Coast colleagues in the entertainment business, but everyone knows East Coast fall is elite. Brisk temperatures, changing leaves, soup season — all of it forms the perfect romantic backdrop for “When Harry Met Sally” fall TV.
Curating a fall TV preview is always daunting. Some of these shows have been hyped up for months or years, whether they’re new or returning, and all of them will compete during a busy season in a packed TV market. Will “The Batman” momentum from 2022 buoy HBO’s “The Penguin?” Will Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) fever return from 2021 for “Agatha All Along?” What about the potent combination of Adam Brody and Kristen Bell in “Nobody Wants This” — an attack sent straight from 2004? Or will Ted Danson leave them all in the dust, as IndieWire TV Critic Ben Travers posits — unless Kathy Bates beats him to it?

Fall 2024’s TV offerings have it all: A sexy murder mystery set in old money Nantucket (Netflix’s “The Perfect Couple”), not one but two new Ryan Murphy ventures (ABC’s “Doctor Odyssey” and FX’s “Grotesquerie”), Billy Crystal and Cate Blanchett (Apple’s “Before” and “Disclaimer,” respectively), and a new workplace comedy in the form of “St. Denis Medical” (which you may recognize from approximately one million Peacock ads during the Olympics — and hey, they worked). Venture into heavy metal and the occult with Peacock’s “Hysteria!” or travel the world with Natasha Rothwell in Hulu’s “How to Die Alone.” For fans of “Yellowstone” (maybe) and “What We Do in the Shadows,” it’s the beginning of the end, and fall will never look quite the same. —PK
