As always, fall is a great time to be a fan of horror shows — and an equally great time to be a fan of TV procedurals — and, frankly, just a great time to be a fan of good TV. This season’s biggest premieres have it all. If you’re looking for Halloween vibes, check out HBO’s IT prequel series IT: Welcome to Derry, AMC’s Anne Rice series Talamasca: The Secret Order, and the first part of the final season of Netflix’s Stranger Things. Apple TV+’s enigmatic new sci-fi series Pluribus and FX’s The Lowdown bring the mystery. HBO’s Task brings prestige cat-and-mouse drama. Paramount+ Westerns Tulsa King and Landman are keeping Taylor Sheridan’s dynasty alive. And broadcast TV hits like CBS’s Matlock and ABC’s 9-1-1 are getting back to work.

TV Guide’s 2025 Fall Guide has everything you need to know about fall TV in one place. First, you’ll find our top picks for the most anticipated shows of the season, as well as a list of all the major new shows coming this fall.
