F. Scott Fitzgerald once noted that “life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall,” and the same could be said for television. TV really is starting all over again.
With the fallout of last year’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes finally over, Fall 2024 TV is looking chock full of returning favorites, buzzy brand new shows, and more major stars than we’ve ever seen before. Mega hits like Yellowstone and Outlander are finally returning after long hiatuses. New genre shows like Dune: Prophecy and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew are determined to whisk us off to strange new sci-fi worlds. The DC vs. Marvel battle wages on, this time with HBO‘s The Penguin and Disney+‘s Agatha All Along premiering in the same exact week. And if you haven’t given the effervescently charming Aussie import, Colin From Accounts, a try, we’re begging you to get on that ASAP!
Fall TV encompasses hundreds of shows this year. There are so many amazing titles hitting cable and streaming this autumn that Team Decider struggled to narrow it down to the twenty four shows we’re most hyped for. Nevertheless, we did.
Below you’ll not only find a comprehensive guide to every show premiering on TV in Fall 2024, but you’ll also see Team Decider shining a spotlight on the twenty-four series we’re most excited about down in HQ. These shows are premiering in the three months and change that span the time after Labor Day Weekend and the official start of winter. They also represent a wide swatch of genres, storytelling styles, and tone.
Here is your guide to Fall TV…
September 4: Slow Horses Season 4 (Apple TV+)
Apple TV+‘s critically-acclaimed espionage thriller Slow Horses returns to bring Spook Street, the fourth book in Mick Herron’s beloved Slough House series, to screen. In Season 4, our favorite misfit MI5 agents Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), River Cartwright (Jack Lowden), Louisa Guy (Rosalind Eleazar), Catherine Standish (Saskia Reeves), Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung), Shirley Dander (Aimee-Ffion Edwards), and Marcus Longridge (Kadiff Kirwan) race to investigate a mysterious bombing and uncover damning secrets along the way. Showrunner Will Smith teased the season for Decider ahead of its premiere, and with a 100% Tomatometer rating, it’s clear the show remains at the top of its game. — Nicole Gallucci
September 4: Outlast Season 2 (Netflix)
September 4: Tell Me Lies Season 2 (Hulu)
September 5: The Perfect Couple (Netflix)
Nicole Kidman, rich people, and murder. Those are the ingredients for some of the juiciest dramas on television these days and Netflix’s The Perfect Couple has all three. Zoologist Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson) is about to marry into a fabulously wealthy family, even if her future mother-in-law Greer (Nicole Kidman) hates her. The already tense wedding is horrifically ruined, however, when a dead body is found. Sounds like a terrible time for Amelia, Greer, and company, and a deliciously fun miniseries for us. — Meghan O’Keefe

In Season 2, “Dan Chase” (Jeff Bridges) and FBI bigwig Harold Harper (John Lithgow) find themselves back in Afghanistan. This time, they’re not on a mission for the U.S. Government, but trying to save kidnapped Emily (Alia Shawkat): Dan’s daughter and Harold’s protege. The Old Man combines grueling action sequences, global politics, and good old fashioned shocking storytelling to make an incredibly tense ride. — Meghan O’Keefe

September 18: Agatha All Along (Disney+)
The very first Marvel show on Disney+ is still considered by some to be the very best, in huge part thanks to Kathryn Hahn’s riotous turn as villainous Agatha Harkness. Agatha All Along will follow our girl as she attempts to assemble a scrappy coven in pursuit of a most dangerous quest: successfully completing the Witches’ Road. Joining Agatha are Patti LuPone, Aubrey Plaza and Heartstopper’s Joe Locke. — Meghan O’Keefe

HBO’s upcoming limited series The Penguin offers a new twist on how we see Batman villains. Set in the same world as Robert Pattinson’s Caped Crusader, The Penguin follows the rise of Oswald “Penguin” Cobb (Colin Farrell) in Gotham’s underworld. Standing in the anti-hero’s way? Sofia Falcone (Cristin Milioti), who just got released from Arkham Asylum. Think crime noir meets DC comics. — Meghan O’Keefe
September 19: Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (Netflix)
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story was an electrifying look at both the circumstances that made a serial killer and the horrific fallout of his crimes. Will the follow up be as engaging? An early teaser for the new season of the Ryan Murphy anthology series suggests that Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story will dig deep into the homoerotic and incestuous subtext (or actual text?) of the brothers’ twisted story. — Meghan O’Keefe

September 26: 911 Season 8 (ABC)
When FOX canceled Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear’s 9-1-1 in 2023 after six seasons, its fate seemed as bleak as one of its tragic disaster episodes. But ABC swooped in to save the day, bringing the 118 back for Season 7 with the promise of swanky debut season treatment. And boy did the network deliver. In just 10 episodes, 9-1-1 Season 7 delivered an action-packed homage to The Poseidon Adventure, a special 100th episode Bachelor crossover event, a long-awaited and well-earned Buck bisexuality arc, a hospital wedding, a wild Vertigo-inspired twist, several surprise guest stars including Malcolm-Jamal Warner, crucial flashbacks to Bobby’s childhood, a near-fatal fire that destroyed Bobby and Athena’s house, and more. Now? Bee-nado is coming. — Nicole Gallucci

September 26: Colin From Accounts Season 2 (Paramount+)
Ever since learning that Colin From Accounts isn’t a boring show about a nerdy office worker named Colin, I’ve been utterly obsessed with the Australian treasure. Colin is A DOG, and Season 1 of the delightful rom-com showed his owners Ashley (Harriet Dyer) and Gordon (Patrick Brammall) giving him up and going their separate ways only to realize they’ve made a huge mistake. Can they get their precious pup back and keep the romance alive in Season 2? We can’t wait to find out! — Nicole Gallucci

When Heartstopper Season 3 debuts in October, we’ll finally learn if Charlie confessed his love over text, what new challenges await the couple, and how much of a splash Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey will make as dreamy writer Jack Maddox. — Meghan O’Keefe

Going into Season 4, fans who’ve been shipping Janine (Brunson) and Gregory (Tyler James Williams) for years have serious cause for celebration. Before you get too excited, though, Williams warned Decider, “This isn’t an answer. This actually brings up more questions.” So brace for more chaos in the classrooms when school is back in session. — Nicole Gallucci

Elsbeth premiered on CBS this past spring and immediately filled the Columbo-shaped hole in all of our hearts. Fans of The Good Wife and The Good Fight already knew what a joy Carrie Preston was as eccentric lawyer Elsbeth Taccione, but we had no idea how brilliantly she would slot into a procedural role. Elsbeth Season 2 ought to double down on the brilliant storytelling, incredible acting, wild guest stars, and cozy vibes that won us over in Season 1. — Meghan O’Keefe

However, showrunner Taylor Sheridan is rising to the challenge. While it’s not yet known how John Dutton’s absence will be explained, Sheridan is continuing the compelling series with the fierce Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and her husband/foreman Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) tasked with saving the Dutton empire. Will estranged brother Jamie (West Bentley) finally succeed in bringing down his father and take what he feels he’s owed? Will Kayce (Luke Grimes) finally accept his birthright and run the ranch?

Fans of masterful workplace comedies like The Office and Abbott Elementaryare sure to fall in love with NBC’s new gem, St. Denis Medical. And Superstore fans are in for some serious treats. Though you’ll have to wait a few more months for the series to premiere, the first four minutes are thankfully here to help hold you over. — Nicole Gallucci
November 13: Bad Sisters Season 2 (Apple TV+)
The prick is gone, but the Garvey girls are back by popular demand. While Season 1 of Sharon Horgan’s dark comedic thriller, Bad Sisters, delivered a ridiculously satisfying finale, the baddest sisters in Ireland are coming back for another season featuring more compelling relationships, delightful chaos, and maybe even another murder?! When chatting with Decider about the Season 1 finale, Horgan shared her thoughts on a possible Season 2, saying, “It began as a limited series, and that’s how I approached it. But everyone keeps telling me how much they love it, including our overlords. So I guess if a really great idea came along…” A really great idea must have hit, so we can’t wait to reunite with Eva (Horgan), Bibi (Sarah Greene), Ursula (Eva Birthistle), Becka (Eve Hewson), and Grace (Anne-Marie Duff). — Nicole Gallucci

In the 18th century, Claire and Jamie are set to return to Lallybroch, while Roger (Richard Rankin) has embarked on a time-traveling journey to save his kidnapped son. Needless to say, we’re waiting with baited breath to see what happens next. — Meghan O’Keefe
November 28: Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 (Netflix)
The first five episodes of the final season of Cobra Kai were merely an appetizer as we prepare for all the martial arts mayhem that surely awaits our lovable gang of teenage scrappers at the Sekai Taikai.

The next five episodes drop November 15 on Netflix. — Josh Sorokach

We’ll watch the beginning of Houses Harkonnen, Atreides, and Corrino, and finally understand the scope of what the original sisters pulled off.
