Name a better feeling than curling up on the couch after a long day, when the weather\u2019s cool and there\u2019s a pot of chili on the stove. Cozy season<\/a> is upon us, and I, for one, couldn\u2019t be more excited about it. Movie nights<\/a> just hit differently in the fall, don\u2019t you think? There\u2019s so much to stream, and a new season always means new releases. Below, I\u2019ve rounded up the fall movies and shows you don\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n

Ted <\/a>Lasso<\/a>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Did any other \u201cTed Lasso\u201d fans get more excited about the new season watching the World Cup this year? I know I did. Thankfully, the wait is officially over\u2014Season Four premiered on Aug. 5, with new episodes dropping weekly on Wednesdays. If you\u2019re new to the series, Jason Sudeikis plays Ted Lasso, an American soccer coach hired to help a struggling British football club. It\u2019s a great show to binge, especially with the new season just getting started, and this time, Ted\u2019s coaching a women\u2019s football team, a brand-new challenge for our beloved coach.<\/p>\n

The Paper\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

When I first heard there was a spinoff series to \u201cThe Office,\u201d I knew I needed to check it out. \u201cThe Paper\u201d\u2018s second season drops in September, following the same documentary crew\u2014now trailing the staff of a struggling Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to breathe new life into it. My favorite detail: Oscar Martinez, one of my favorite characters from The Office, works there, too. A full-circle moment. Season Two premieres on Peacock Sept. 9.<\/p>\n

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power<\/a><\/p>\n

Tolkien fans, the next chapter is almost here. Season Three of Prime Video\u2019s \u201cLord of the Rings\u201d series premieres Nov. 11, two years after the last season ended\u2014plenty of anticipation built up. A prequel to both \u201cThe Hobbit\u201d and \u201cThe Lord of the Rings,\u201d drawn from the appendices of the original trilogy. There\u2019s still time to binge the first two seasons (or even the movies) to get yourself back in the zone.<\/p>\n

Dancing With the Stars\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

DWTS has been around for years, but this past season picked up serious social media momentum \u2014 and the hype for this one is real. Season 35 premieres on ABC Sept. 15. Only four cast members have been announced so far, with the rest revealed on Good Morning America throughout September. Who\u2019s ready to rumba?<\/p>\n

The Traitors: New Blood<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m obsessed with \u201cThe Traitors.\u201d This competition reality show is so silly and so fun, and so much of the magic comes from host Alan Cumming\u2014the way he and the cast take this game so seriously is delicious. Every past season has cast celebrities, but this will be the first time it\u2019s full of civilians. I will be sat for the premiere on Sept. 17.<\/p>\n

Wonka\u2019s The Golden Ticket<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of competition reality shows: Netflix is dropping one based around \u201cWilly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,\u201d and let\u2019s just say: I\u2019m here for it. The chocolate factory set looks incredible, and the challenges appear to be pulled from classic scenes in the beloved book and films. Fun, and a little chaotic, in the best way. The series premieres Sept. 23\u2014might as well make this salted chocolate date tart<\/a> to celebrate.<\/p>\n

Dramas & Character Studies<\/p>\n

The Christopher<\/a>s<\/a><\/p>\n

Anything with Ian McKellen is sure to be good, as far as I\u2019m concerned\u2014and here he stars alongside Michaela Coel. McKellen plays a once-celebrated artist who\u2019s abandoned multiple projects; in a bit of quiet deception, his children hire a forger (Coel) to finish the canvases so they can sell the paintings after his death. I imagine watching this one with a glass of red wine<\/a>, curled up on the couch in a chunky sweater \u2014 it is about artists, after all. Streaming on Hulu starting Aug. 22.<\/p>\n
