20 New Fall TV Shows You Should Definitely Watch (continued)
11. Murphy Brown
A revival worth paying attention too, the ground-breaking comedy Murphy Brown is back as it centers on the broadcast news legend and her biting take on current events, now in a world of 24-hour cable, social media, “fake news,” and a very different political climate.
Murphy Brown premieres Thursday, September 27th on CBS.
12. The Neighborhood
The Neighborhood stars Cedric the Entertainer in a comedy about what happens when the friendliest guy in the Midwest moves his family to a neighborhood in Los Angeles where not everyone looks like him or appreciates his extreme neighborliness.
Not just another run-of-the-mill sitcom, this show will hopefully help us think more about unity and assist us in seeing that we aren’t as different as we appear.
The Neighborhood premieres Monday, October 1st on CBS.
13. All American
Based on the life of Spencer Paysinger, All American tells the story of Spencer James, a football player from South LA is recruited to play for Beverly Hills High School.
He has dreams of a better life for his family but realizes that they may be harder to achieve than he thinks. All American premieres Wednesday, October 10th on The CW.
All American premieres Wednesday, October 10th on The CW.
14. The Romanoffs
The Romanoffs is a contemporary anthology series that comes from the creator of Mad Men. The series is set around the globe featuring eight separate stories about people who believe themselves to be descendants of the Russian royal family.
The highly-anticipated series has a stellar cast that includes Aaron Eckhart, Diane Lane, Isabelle Huppert, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, Amanda Peet, Jack Huston, Kathryn Hahn, Noah Wyle, Paul Reiser, Andrew Rannells, and more.
The Romanoffs premieres Friday, October 12th on Amazon.
15. Charmed
Among this year’s reboots is the much-anticipated Charmed, which is based on the popular original series of the same name.
It follows three sisters who, after the tragic death of their mother, are shocked to discover they are witches. They’ll have to stand together to fight both everyday and supernatural battles. Here are a few more details we’ve learned about Charmed.

16. Camping
The upcoming HBO comedy series Camping stars Jennifer Garner and David Tennant. Camping follows a group of old friends as they arrive at the underwhelming Brown Bear Lake campsite to celebrate a landmark birthday, but the trip sparks heightened emotions, latent tensions, and memories they’d rather forget.

The Conners continues the family stories started on Roseanne. Only there is one glaring difference — the matriarch is gone, and there have been hints that point toward Roseanne being killed off. How will the family dynamic change without her?
The Conners premieres Tuesday, October 16th on ABC.
18. The Rookie
Nathan Fillion’s next lead role on ABC is as a rookie cop on The Rookie, and it looks like a fun series.
Fillion plays John Nolan, a man who decides to pursue his dream of being an LAPD officer after a life-altering incident. As the force’s oldest rookie, he’s met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis.
The Rookie premieres Tuesday, October 16th on ABC.
19. Legacies
After putting the Salvatores’ story to bed to go to New Orleans for The Originals, the universe is going back to Mystic Falls for its next chapter in Legacies.
This time around, Hope Mikaelson is taking the reins of the story and trying to live her best supernatural life at the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, in the town where Elena and her friends had their adventures on The Vampire Diaries. It feels both nostalgic and new, but most of all it’s very exciting.
Legacies premieres Thursday, October 25th on The CW.
20. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
The character of Sabrina Spellman is coming back to TV, but this time in the much darker The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Netflix series starring Mad Men standout Kiernan Shipka.
Fans of the comic book series it’s based on know this version will turn up the dark magic while still keeping the aunts, teen antics and even beloved cast Salem viewers know and love.
After watching the same team bring Archie Comics to life as Riverdale, this new series is one to tune in for.
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina premieres Friday, October 26th on Netflix.
