The summer might be winding down fast, but the TV calendar is hardly cooling off, as the next three months boast a bunch of series worth checking out. (If you’re looking for the movies you need to see come September, we\u2019ve got you<\/a>.) This fall promises highly anticipated returns, with Black Doves, The Lowdown and Slow Horses launching new seasons. <\/p>\n

There are also plenty of intriguing debuts, including a stuck-in-a-rut comedy from Sharon Horgan, a Parks and Rec reunion of sorts, Zoe Kazan\u2019s take on East of Eden, seasonally-appropriate scares courtesy of Carrie and Crystal Lake, Netflix’s hotly debated Pride and Prejudice and more. Here are the shows \u2013 in chronological order by US premiere date \u2013 to watch out for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A very<\/a> busy<\/a> Jon Hamm portrays an Indianapolis radio anchor dealing with a particularly tricky caller (Giovanni Ribisi\u2019s Tony, who kidnaps his mortgage broker and threatens to blow his brains out) in this late-’70s thriller based on the podcast of the same name (which also starred the Mad Men vet). Mireille Enos, The Good Place’s William Jackson Harper and Kristoffer Polaha round out the cast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Premieres Sep 20\u00a0<\/p>\n

Youth (HBO)<\/p>\n

The great Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters, Pulling, Divorce) returns to HBO with her latest stuck-in-a-rut comedy, starring as a fiftysomething divorced woman who starts asking some big life questions (among them, \u2018Do you think you can still be sexy when you\u2019re 60, like, in a club?\u2019) as her son prepares to head off to college.<\/p>\n

Premieres Sep 20\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brothers (Apple TV)<\/p>\n

The boys \u2013 that is, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson \u2013 are back with a decidedly lighter series than True Detective, playing fictionalised versions of themselves as they cope with the news that they could just be related. (Where do they come up with this stuff<\/a>?) The comedy was concocted by Schitt’s Creek\u2019s David West Read, The Office’s Lee Eisenberg and the Texas-born buds themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Premieres Sep 23\u00a0<\/p>\n

East of Eden (Netflix)<\/p>\n

Zoe Kazan brings John Steinbeck\u2019s masterpiece to the small screen (much like her grandfather Elia did to the big one back in the \u201950s). Florence Pugh stars as Cathy Ames in the decades-spanning Netflix miniseries, anchoring a stacked cast that boasts Mike Faist, Ciar\u00e1n Hinds, Hoon Lee and the always welcome Christopher Abbott and Martha Plimpton.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Premieres Oct 1\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"War\"

War\u00a0(HBO)<\/p>\n

\u2018This is likely to be the biggest divorce trial in British legal history,\u2019 we’re told in the teaser for this HBO drama, in which a posh and seemingly mild-mannered couple (played by Sienna Miller and The Wire\u2019s Dominic West) endure a very messy and public split. (She\u2019s a movie star; he’s a tech billionaire.) Hijack<\/a> co-creator George Kay cooked up the story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Premieres Oct 1<\/p>\n

\"Carrie\"

Carrie (Prime Video)<\/p>\n

Horror favourite Mike Flanagan makes the move from Netflix to Prime Video for his latest Stephen King adaptation, a six-episode telling of the meek and lonely titular teenager (Summer H Howell) having a really rough go of it in high school. Regular Flanagan collaborator Samantha Sloyan plays her crazy mother. There will be blood.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Premieres Oct 7\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"The

The Lowdown season 2 (FX)<\/p>\n

Sterlin Harjo\u2019s very funny neo-noir, one of last year\u2019s most delightful new arrivals, is back for round two with a brilliant bit of casting news: Tommy Lee Jones plays the estranged, up-to-no-good father of \u2018truthstorian\u2019 and paperback snob Lee Raybon (Ethan Hawke), who will no doubt stumble into another thorny conspiracy full of colourful characters in his beloved city of Tulsa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Premieres Oct 14\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"VisionQuest\"

VisionQuest (Disney+)<\/p>\n

Billed as \u2018the final Vision of the groundbreaking trilogy\u2019 (Marvel\u2019s words), this WandaVision spin-off centres on the titular android (a returning Paul Bettany), who goes on the lam with a teen who might be his son. James Spader, Ruaridh Mollica, Todd Stashwick and Years And Years\u2019\u00a0T\u2019Nia Miller co-star in the miniseries, which was created by Star Trek: Picard veteran Terry Matalas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crystal Lake (Peacock)<\/p>\n

After being announced four years back and a showrunner shakeup, A24\u2019s prequel to Friday the 13th is finally set to hit our screens just in time for Halloween. Linda Cardellini, hot off her wonderful turn in DTF St. Louis, leads as Pamela Voorhees, with Chucky\u2019s Callum Vinson tackling her son (and future hockey-mask-wearer) Jason.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Black

Black Doves season 2 (Netflix)<\/p>\n

Nearly two years after its mostly killer first season<\/a> dropped, Black Doves, which stars a never-better Keira Knightley and an always ace Ben Whishaw, thankfully returns. This sleek, London-set series about spies for hire from Giri\/Haji\u2019s Joe Barton is stylish, bloody, surprisingly deep, fun and generally a notch better and smarter than it probably needs to be.<\/p>\n

Premieres Nov 5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Dig\"

Dig (Peacock)<\/p>\n

Parks and Recreation\u2019s Michael Schur and Amy Poehler swap Pawnee offices for an archaeological site in Greece for this Peacock comedy. The latter (a Golden Globe winner for acting and podcasting, of all things) leads the series as an excavator alongside a cast that includes Hugh Laurie, Geraldine Viswanathan, Fina Strazza and Antonia Thomas.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blade Runner 2099 (Prime Video)<\/p>\n

Michelle Yeoh and Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer leap into the sci-fi franchise, starring as a replicant and a human pretending to be one, respectively, in very late twenty-first century Los Angeles. Silka Luisa, who brought us Apple TV’s Shining Girls, developed the miniseries, and Jonathan van Tulleken (Sh\u014dgun, Top Boy) helms its first two outings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Pride

Pride and Prejudice (Netflix)<\/p>\n

Jane Austen’s ever-adored novel gets the Netflix treatment, with The Crown’s Emma Corrin tacking Elizabeth Bennet and Jack Lowden (who, per usual, is just great in the upcoming season of Slow Horses<\/a>) taking on Mr. Darcy. Everything I Know About Love memoirist Dolly Alderton wrote the series, with Euros Lyn (Heartstopper, Happy Valley) directing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
