Season 2 premieres September 3 on Netflix
Guy Ritchie's hit action-comedy series, which sports an 8.0 IMDb rating, returns to Netflix for Season 2. The new season finds Eddie Horniman (Theo James) and Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) embracing Britain's criminal underground after their hostile takeover of Susie's now-imprisoned dad's weed empire. The show is pulling an "Emily in Paris" of sorts by shifting some of the action to Italy for a spell. Netflix will drop all eight episodes on September 3.
Neagley
- #352 TVmeter
- TV Series
- 1 season
Premieres September 16 on Prime Video
“Reacher” becomes its own universe with this spin-off series centered on the character Frances Neagley, Jack Reacher's former military protégé who now works as a private investigator in Chicago. Neagley, played by Maria Sten, appeared in the first three seasons of “Reacher” before her series went into production. Alan Ritchson will guest star in Season 1 of “Neagley,” which finds the PI on a hunt for answers and justice after one of her longtime friends is killed in a suspicious accident. Prime Video will drop all eight episodes on September 16.
Slow Horses

Season 6 premieres September 16 on Apple TV
Season 6 finds Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) and the Slough House crew on the run as they're being systematically targeted and turning up dead. While signs point to a connection to MI5 operator Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas), things get interesting with the surprise return of Sid Baker (Olivia Cooke), the agent believed dead since Season 1. The new season adapts two Mick Herron novels (“Joe Country” and “Slough House”) and the Apple TV hit has already been renewed for a seventh season.
The Traitors
- #818 TVmeter
- TV Series
- 5 seasons
- TV-MA
Season 5 premieres September 17 on Peacock
We're thrilled to see the American version of this hit game show finally turn its full focus on everyday people, rather than a messy mix of reality TV stars. “The Traitors: New Blood” pits its players against each other as they struggle to decide who among their numbers are the villainous traitors attempting to thwart the game and take the winnings for themselves. Alan Cumming returns to host 22 new contestants in this unpredictable game of strategy, cunning, and paranoia.
Monster
- #133 TVmeter
- TV Series
- 4 seasons
- TV-MA
Premieres September 17 on Netflix
We're deep into Ryan Murphy season with "American Horror Story" back later this month and "The Shards" wrapping up its freshman debut. The fourth installment of Murphy's slayer series will tell the story of accused ax murderer Lizzie Borden. Ella Beatty (“Feud”) stars as Lizzie, a young woman who stood trial for the murder of her father and stepmother in 1892. In typical “Monster” fashion, the show will take a highly editorialized approach, spinning out unproven theories into episode plot points about everything from family tensions to a homicidal love story between Lizzie and the maid (Vicky Krieps). Charlie Hunnam, who played Ed Gein in “Monster” Season 3, returns alongside frequent Murphy collaborator Billie Lourd and Rebecca Hall to round out the doomed Borden brood.
MobLand
- #70 TVmeter
- TV Series
- 3 seasons
- TV-MA
Season 2 premieres September 18 on Paramount+
Tom Hardy's mob fixer Harry Da Souza is back for a second season of "MobLand," the massive hit series that set and broke some viewership records during its freshman year on Paramount+. Season 2 will reveal the cracks in the Harrigan family's criminal empire as a civil war breaks out within its ranks. Season 3 is reportedly in development already, though you might have heard a row between Hardy and showrunner Jez Butterworth found Hardy's participation hanging in the balance for a moment. That sounds like a spin-off series to us. Ten new episodes will roll out weekly starting September 18.
American Horror Story
- #72 TVmeter
- TV Series
- 14 seasons
- TV-MA
Season 13 premieres September 24 on FX/Hulu
It doesn't work for everybody, but “AHS” fans love Ryan Murphy's everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to his longest-running TV series. From Season 1 all the way back in 2011 -- which featured sexy ghosts, haunted neighbors, mad scientists, teenage stalkers, demonic fetuses, and red-headed murder twins -- Murphy and his collaborators haven't been afraid to slash for the fences, so to speak. Expect nothing less from Season 13. While there were rumors the next installment was a “Coven” sequel, the producer says it's actually “all the seasons” combined. Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Kathy Bates, and Emma Roberts will all return to reprise their roles as ... everyone, as they each portray multiple characters from the previous seasons. “It's like the Avengers!” Murphy told Variety, “They all come together to defeat the ultimate evil.”
A Different World
- #1,602 TVmeter
- TV Series
- 1 season
Premieres September 24 on Netflix
Let's re-enroll at Hillman College in the present day, where Deborah Wayne, the daughter of Whitley and Dwayne from the beloved ‘80s series, arrives on campus for her freshman year. She'll be joined by an ensemble of other first-year coeds, as well as OG “ADW” characters Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy), Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison), Freddie Brooks (Cree Summer), and Ron Johnson (Darryl M. Bell). For some of us, the world will never quite be the same without Lisa Bonet's Denise Huxtable in the mix, though. Netflix will drop all 10 episodes at once.
Carrie
- #537 TVmeter
- TV Series
- 1 season
Premieres October 7 on Prime Video
Master of horror Mike Flanagan is bringing literature's most telekinetic teen to the small screen this fall with an eight-episode series for Prime Video. Set in the modern day of cyber bullying and social media, “Carrie” stars Summer H. Howell (Curse of Chucky, Hunter Hunter) as the misunderstood misfit whose supernatural powers lead to tragedy. The king of Stephen King adaptations has previously delivered fairly faithful versions of Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep, and The Life of Chuck, but with “Carrie” Flanagan seems to be taking more liberties with his source material. As the director told Deadline, “[King's novel] was written half a century ago. 'Carrie' was adapted spectacularly by Brian De Palma. It is iconic. It is untouchable. However, the world has changed quite a lot.” Long-time Flanagan collaborator Samantha Sloyan co-stars as Margaret White alongside Matthew Lillard, Amber Midthunder, and an ensemble of up-and-coming talent.
Law & Order
- #136 TVmeter
- TV Series
- 26 seasons
- TV-14
Season 26 premieres October 8 on NBC (next day on Peacock)
Dick Wolf’s fan-favorite legal drama is returning this fall with Season 26, which will kick off its weekly Thursday releases October 8. But there are a couple of major changes on the way. The long-running series is moving from 8pm to 10pm and it's also losing Reid Scott, who has played Detective Vincent Riley since 2023, a few episodes into the new season. Speaking of episodes, NBC hasn’t announced how many we can expect in Season 26, but we do know “SVU” is clocking in at 22 eps, so we suspect the OG series will do about the same.
VisionQuest
- #313
- TV Mini Series
- 1 season
Premieres October 14 on Disney+
The trilogy that started with "WandaVision" and continued with "Agatha All Along" ends with "VisionQuest," where we finally find out what Vision has been up to since turning white and flying off years ago. Expect a roster of familiar faces filling up Vision's mind palace, including James Spader as Ultron, James D'Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S. (who we last saw in "Agent Carter"), and deep-cut Faran Tahir as Raza, the leader of the Ten Rings faction that kidnapped Tony Stark way back in Iron Man. We can't wait to see how these threads weave together.
Crystal Lake
- #677 TVmeter
- TV Series
- 1 season
- TV-MA
Premieres October 15 on Peacock
Fans familiar with the horrors of Camp Crystal Lake know it all started with a tragedy. And this October, we'll get to witness the fallout from those events in the new series “Crystal Lake.” Linda Cardellini stars as Pamela Voorhees in the eight-episode season that follows the mourning mother with murderous intentions. But as we all know, it's not just Pam the residents of this doomed town need to fear. There's something in the woods around Crystal Lake, and “all it knows how to do is kill.”
Lupin

- TV-MA
Season 4 premieres October 23 on Netflix
Last we saw the gentleman thief Assane Diop -- some three years ago when we were still in a post-pandemic cocoon -- he had stolen the black pearl and pulled off an escape plan that included faking his own death. But in the end he had a full circle moment when he found himself one prison cell over from his lifelong nemesis, Hubert Pellegrini. Whatever alchemy has brought back Omar Sy for a fourth season of “Lupin” proves to us the world still works in some ways. While Sy, Netflix, and the showrunners have not let any details slip about the new season, something tells us Diop and Pellegrini might make for Frenemies of the Year as the series' “most ambitious season ever” looks to bring joy and implausiblility to millions of households worldwide.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Season 3 premieres November 20 on Prime Video
Season 3 of this much-loved reimagining of Greek mythology is bringing a darker tone to Percy and The Seven's adventures. This time, the eight-episode season will adapt author Rick Riordan's third book in the series, “The Titan's Curse,” which leaves Percy to face the disappearance of Annabeth and the Great Prophecy that says one demigod child is fated to either raise Olympus to new heights or bring it crashing down to ruin.
Blade Runner 2099

Premieres November 25 on Prime Video
The world of Blade Runner continues this fall with a new series that will take audiences even farther into the future of Ridley Scott's cyberpunk dystopia. Set fifty years after the events of Blade Runner 2049, the eight-episode season follows Hunter Schafer's Cora as she navigates a reborn Los Angeles where Replicants are now the ruling class. Michelle Yeoh stars opposite Schafer as Olwen, a Replicant forced to partner with the young fugitive to root out a runaway harboring a truth so dangerous it could collapse the city. The show will be released in a single binge-friendly drop on Prime Video.
Abbott Elementary

Season 6 premieres October 7 on ABC
Last season, Abbott Elementary (the school) narrowly escaped a wave of budget-driven closures across Philadelphia. In Season 6, the Abbott faculty will now cope with an influx of students from the 19 schools that didn't survive, adding strain to an already underfunded staff. But the big question is whether Janine (Quinta Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams) will get engaged after last season's failure to launch. This season, the show will reach its milestone 100th episode, so be prepared to celebrate and keep your eyes peeled for some notable returning guest stars.

Now a wanted fugitive after completing his revenge campaign, Reece (Chris Pratt) is offered a presidential pardon for “one last mission.” He's guided by Gabriel Luna, who joins the cast as a former SEAL/CIA operative, as they attempt to take down a former Iraqi commando who may be the key to a larger geopolitical conspiracy.

Season 4 of this hit HBO Max series looks like it will be a story of operatic proportions.
