While we're bombarded by new TV shows all year round at this point, nothing beats fall when it comes to an avalanche of offerings. With the likes of Netflix, Amazon and Hulu providing stiff competition for network and cable series, the landscape's more crowded than ever these days.
On the cable front, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story and Ash vs Evil Dead are all back this fall, while HBO debuts Westworld. Meanwhile, the networks go big on the reboot game as well, with FOX's Lethal Weapon and The Exorcist, CBS' MacGyver, and the CW's Frequency.
Oh, and we're not done with superheroes on TV yet by a long shot. Not only does Netflix's Luke Cage series debut, but Ghost Rider joins Marvel's Agents of SHIELD. Also, Supergirl makes the switch over to the CW, revving us up for a four-series mega crossover event that also includes Arrow, Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow.
All of that, plus Netflix has more Narcos, Longmire, and the Ranch while Amazon gives us new Transparent and Man in the High Castle.
Get ready for fall TV!

For the first year since its debut, American Horror Story is being rather cryptic with its seasonal location, era, and theme.
