As if you already don't have enough television to catch up on from the spring and summer, the beast that is Fall TV is upon us and ready to flood our eyes and ears with all our favorite returning programs - as well as a bountiful banquet of new shows to check out!
Fear the Walking Dead finishes off its third season, The Walking Dead kicks off its eighth, and American Horror Story arrives a month early while South Park enters its 21st year as scintillating social satire, Gotham introduces Scarecrow, and Stranger Things ramps up the chaos in Hawkins, Ind.
Meanwhile, CBS All Access debuts its new Trek series, Star Trek: Discovery, while FOX lampoons the space exploration genre with Seth MacFarlane's The Orville. HBO rolls out '70s porn industry drama The Deuce along with a ninth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm while Marvel TV readies Inhumans on ABC, Punisher on Netflix, The Gifted on FOX, and Runaways on Hulu.
Military dramas seem to be all the rage now too as The CW debuts Valor, CBS unveils Seal Team, and NBC premieres The Brave. And if you're into crime dramas, Netflix has the third season of Narcos, NBC premieres its own "ripped from the headlines" anthology series with Law & Order: True Crime, and Sundance brings back Jane Campion's Top of the Lake.
