Must-See TV Shows Coming in Fall 2025
Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams in 'Wednesday'Jonathan Hession/Netflix
After returning from a three-year slumber, Wednesday came roaring back for Season 2 like a wayward zombie. Netflix's take on the Addams Family left its titular heroine, Wednesday (Jenna Ortega), in critical condition in its midseason finale last month. Assuming she makes a full recovery, we shall see what mysteries and monsters await us in Part 2, and who will face grave consequences.

The Paper (9/4, Peacock)
For years, people around the world have scrolled through a seemingly unlimited number of possible things to watch, only to turn to the comfort food that is The Office. Now, two decades after the hit NBC comedy hit American shores, another "mockumentary" series is coming from creator Greg Daniels. Starring Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore, The Paper focuses on a small Midwestern newspaper, which staffs itself with new reporters with the hopes of preventing its death. The group, featuring a crossover Office character in Oscar (Oscar Nuñez), will work diligently to make sure they can keep it up (that's what she said!).

For over two decades, NCIS has become a TV institution, with its popularity earning multiple spin-offs and becoming the seventh longest-running television show of all time. Now, for the first time, the procedural franchise is debuting an original streaming series: Tony & Ziva. The show spins off the titular characters, played by Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, respectively, and takes us to Europe for what the showrunner describes as "an unconventional love story."

Task (9/7, HBO)
Four years ago, The Mare of Easttown became a smash success for HBO, earning four Emmys. As a result, its creator, Brad Ingelsby was given a three-year deal with the network, which he used to create his next series, Task. Starring Mark Ruffalo, we'll get taken back to Pennsylvania, as his FBI agent will lead a task force to stop a series of violent robber (Tom Pelphrey). Suffice it to say, that criminal will not want to see him angry.

It's very rare in today's TV culture that we get a non-network show to reliably put out a season every year. But leave it to Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez to bring a twist with Only Murders in the Building. The Hulu mystery comedy returns for Season 5 by getting back to basics, returning to New York after a brief break in L.A. And, while the name of the game is the same, showrunner John Hoffman teases that our intrepid podcast trio might be getting wrapped up into something bigger this season, namely a mob war in the Big Apple.

The Girlfriend (9/10, Prime Video)
Since her Emmy-winning turn on House of Cards, Robin Wright has largely spent her time behind the camera, namely directing two episodes of Ozark. But she's stepping back in front of the screen for The Girlfriend, a psychological thriller based on the Michelle Frances novel. Wright will star as a wealthy woman who grows increasingly concerned that her son's lovable new girlfriend (House of the Dragon's Olivia Cooke) is not all that she seems.

The Morning Show Season 4 (9/17, Apple TV+)
As cable news networks have seen their own form of dramatic upheaval in 2025, The Morning Show returns to show them how it's done. The Apple TV+ drama has a lot to pick up from, considering we last saw Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) arrested for covering up her brother's involvement in the events of January 6, while Alex (Jennifer Aniston) was reeling from the fallout of her tech billionaire (Jon Hamm) breakup. What new conflict will Marion Cotillard, debuting on the series as a network exec, bring to the newsroom? It's safe to say at least some of it, true to the show's first three seasons, will be ripped straight from the headlines.

Three years after the sun set on Ozark, Jason Bateman is back with another big project on Netflix. Once again, it's a family affair, though the action moves from a rural setting to the concrete jungle of New York City. Bateman plays a chaotic gambler who pops back up in the life of his restaurateur brother (Jude Law). And, of course, in opening the door up to his bro, he invites in all of his baggage – both literally and criminally.

The Lowdown (9/23, FX)
From the creator of the criminally underrated Reservation Dogs comes a self-proclaimed "Tulsa noir." The Lowdown centers on Lee Raybon (Ethan Hawke), a local journalist who becomes an amateur investigator as he tries to look into the circumstances behind the suicide of the black sheep of a powerful family (Tim Blake Nelson). The FX series features a powerhouse cast, including Jeanne Tripplehorn, Kyle MacLachlan and Keith David, fresh off of earning his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Slow Horses Season 5 (9/24, Apple TV+)
On Sep. 17, we'll find out if Slow Horses takes home any Emmys. But regardless of what it wins, we'll truly be the winners the very next week, as the Gary Oldman-led Apple TV+ drama returns for Season 5. And, regardless of what happens in Slough Lamb this season, there's plenty on the way, as the series has been renewed for a sixth and seventh season. At this rate, Oldman may need to rethink his plans to retire from acting!

Glen Powell as Chad Powers in 'Chad Powers'Hulu
This week brings the start of the NFL season, as fans across the country get back into America's most popular sport. And Hulu is giving their own play on a football story with Chad Powers. Based on the viral story from two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning, the comedy stars Glen Powell as a disgraced quarterback who tries to stage a comeback under a different identity. Given Powell's recent surge in popularity over the past couple of years, this hybrid of Any Given Sunday and Tootsie will hopefully not go incomplete.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story (10/3, Netflix)
Uber-creator Ryan Murphy struck gold yet again in 2022 with Monster. Originally planned as a limited series, its popularity instead morphed into an anthology, which each season focusing on a separate killer. The first two seasons, while popular, were not without controversy, as those involved in both the stories of Jeffrey Dahmer and Erik and Lyle Menendez spoke out against the show for its inaccuracies and dramaticized portrayals of the parties involved. But that's not stopping Murphy from an upcoming third season, this time focusing on 1950s suspected serial killer Ed Gein (played by Charlie Hunnam).

The Diplomat Season 3 (10/16, Netflix)
If Americans are looking for escapism from the stressors of foreign policy, they're not going to find it in The Diplomat. But that's all well and good for the Keri Russell-led Netflix series, which returns for a third season in October. Russell's Kate Wyler will have a lot on her hands both at home and abroad, especially with the corrupt Grace Penn (Allison Janney) becoming President of the United States in the Season 2 finale.

Nobody Wants This Season 2 (10/23, Netflix)
In 2024, the world proved there's still an appetite for rom-coms. Take, for example, Nobody Wants This, the Netflix series starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody that quickly took off last fall through word of mouth. The show, about the unexpected romance between an unconventional rabbi and an agnostic podcast host, is back for a sequel season, as the central couple will presumably experience more complications in the very different lives they lead. And what might complicate things further is the fact that Season 2 will feature a guest appearance from Leighton Meester, the real-life wife of Adam Brody!

Stephen Rider in 'It: Welcome to Derry'Brooke Palmer/HBO
Almost a decade ago, Andy Muschietti proved why Stephen King is still the master of horror. His adaptation of King's iconic novel IT into the 2017 and 2019 films were massive hits, introducing a whole new generation to the terrifying menace of Pennywise. Now Muschietti and company are moving to the small screen for a prequel story, as IT — Welcome to Derry tells the story of a family that moves to the titular Maine town, and begins to witness strange happenings. At the time of this article's publication, HBO has not confirmed a release date for the series yet. But, much like Pennywise himself, we know IT — Welcome to Derry is just around the corner, waiting to arrive when we least expect it.

All Her Fault (11/6, Peacock)
The past couple of years have been a whirlwind for Sarah Snook. In 2023, the actress finished her star turn on Succession, picking up an Emmy for her efforts. She then hopped right up on the stage, turning in a Tony Award-winning performance in her one-woman adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Grey. And it wasn't long before she jumped back into TV, playing the lead role in Peacock's new series All Her Fault. An adaptation of Andra Mara's novel, the mystery thriller stars Snook as a mother who undergoes every parent's nightmare, as she arrives to pick up her son from a playdate, only to find him missing.

Death By Lightning (11/6, Netflix)
It's only fitting that Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen have new shows premiering on the same day, considering their connection as torrid spouses on Succession. But Emmy winner Macfadyen is taking a step into the past in the new Netflix historical drama. Based on Destiny of the Republic by Candice Millard, the show tells the story of President James Garfield (Michael Shannon), leading up to his assassination by devoted admirer Charles Guiteau (Macfadyen).

Pluribus (11/7, Apple TV+)
Between Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, Vince Gilligan is responsible for crafting some of the greatest TV shows of the 21st century. And now he makes the move to streaming with the mysterious new series Pluribus. Not much is known about the Apple TV+ series, as the description reads, "A genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on earth must save the world from happiness." But, considering it's a reunion between Gilligan and BCS standout Rhea Seehorn, consider us sat!

The Beast in Me (11/13, Netflix)
Five years after wrapping up her Emmy-winning run in Homeland, Claire Danes is back for a new TV thriller. This time, she's moved to Netflix and out of the CIA for The Beast in Me. Danes stars as Aggie Wiggs, a recluse author grieving the death of her son, when she meets her new next-door neighbor, Nile Jarvis (Matthew Rhys). The famed real estate mogul was once the primary suspect in his wife's murder, and it's Aggie's simultaneous perversion and fascination that leads to his story becoming his (and hopefully our) new obsession.

Landman Season 2 (11/16, Paramount+)
Even after Yellowstone took its bow last year, the hits keep on coming for Taylor Sheridan. The most recent success, Landman, stars Billy Bob Thornton as an abrasive oil executive looking to increase his profits in the fields of West Texas. The series struck black gold when it premiered in November 2024, and now it's returning with Sam Elliott joining the fray alongside Thornton and Demi Moore.

Stranger Things Season 5 (11/26, Netflix)
It's been staggering to think that, almost a decade ago, Stranger Things arrived in our lives and forever changed Netflix. Though with no offense to the talented young cast, the years between seasons have been easily visible. But it's a case of "better late than never" for the supernatural sci-fi/horror series, as the show finally drops its last season. Will the "Upside-Down" fully take over Hawkins – and the world? Can Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) stop Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower)? Will there be plenty of baked-in references to the late '80s? With Season 5 releasing in three installments around the holidays, it will be the perfect way to bid adieu to not only Stranger Things, but 2025 as a whole.
