Fall TV is starting to get into full swing, and this week brings a mix of new shows premiering on Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services, as well as cable and broadcast channels.
This week’s TV lineup features a mix of returning favorites and debuts. “The Morning Show” kicks off its fourth season with more newsroom drama and sharp au courant commentary, while “High Potential season 2” raises the stakes as Morgan faces life-or-death challenges. Sylvester Stallone’s crime boss returns in “Tulsa King” season 3, and this time, he’s got Samuel L. Jackson to reckon with.
Meanwhile, “Black Rabbit” teams up Jason Bateman and Jude Law in a crime drama that blends family tension with high-stakes intrigue. Here are our top picks for new TV shows to watch this week.
‘Futurama’ season 13 (Hulu)
Watch On
“Futurama” blasts back onto Hulu for its (lucky?) 13th season, and the Planet Express crew is once again in way over their heads. After last season’s ghost ship showdown and alternate-universe chaos, Fry, Leela, Bender and the gang return with even bigger headaches.
A volcano is ready to erupt, Bender goes completely off the rails, Fry faces a rival for Leela’s affection and Dr. Zoidberg apparently floats up to heaven. The show’s trademark blend of absurd sci-fi, biting jokes and the occasional sneaky emotional gut punch is alive and well.
All 10 episodes premiere Monday, Sept. 15 at 8 p.m. ET on Hulu and FXX (via Sling or Fubo)
‘High Potential’ season 2 (ABC)
Watch On
The high-stakes cat-and-mouse game continues as Kaitlin Olson’s Morgan Gillory is back on the case — and in the Game Maker’s crosshairs. The killer’s taunts hit close to home, forcing Morgan to protect her kids while still outsmarting criminals on the LAPD’s dime.
Meanwhile, the mystery of her missing ex-husband, Roman, refuses to stay buried. With the show balancing tense cases of the week, sharp humor and Morgan’s knack for mess, this sophomore season doesn’t look to be anywhere near a slump.
Episode 1 premieres Tuesday, Sept. 16 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC (via Sling or Fubo) and next day on Hulu
‘The Morning Show’ season 4 (Apple TV Plus)
Watch On
It’s a new morning when season 4 of “The Morning Show” premieres, picking up nearly two years after the explosive events of season 3. With the UBA-NBN merger complete, Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) are back in the studio, navigating corporate cover-ups, deepfakes and the murky line between truth and spin.
New faces, including Marion Cotillard’s cunning Celine Dumont and Boyd Holbrook’s charismatic podcaster shake up the newsroom, while returning favorites Jon Hamm, Billy Crudup and Mark Duplass are up to their usual scheming. It’s classic “Morning Show” drama.
Episode 1 premieres Wednesday, Sept. 17 at 12 a.m. ET on Apple TV Plus
‘Gen V’ season 2 (Prime Video)
Watch On
Class is back in session at Godolkin, though the campus looks more like a crime scene than a college. Cate and Sam are being paraded as saviors, while Marie, Jordan, and Emma shuffle back to school carrying scars no lecture can cover.
The new dean (Hamish Linklater) isn’t about pep rallies; he’s turning students into soldiers, just as Homelander tightens his grip on the country. With a secret program hiding in Godolkin’s history and war looming on every front, “Gen V” season 2 dials up the supes madness to 11.
Episodes 1-3 premiere Wednesday, Sept. 17 at 3 a.m. ET on Prime Video
‘Reasonable Doubt’ season 3 (Hulu)
Watch On
When the legal drama’s third season begins, Jax Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi) can finally breathe a little after last season’s storm, but that calm quickly vanishes. Enter Ozzie (Kyle Bary), a former child star in deep trouble, whose case promises excitement but drags Jax into more of a mess than she bargained for.
Joseph Sikora, Morris Chestnut and new cast member Lori Harvey — playing Chelsea, a wild card with a messy past — add fresh sparks to the mix. Jax’s latest case may be about saving Ozzie, but it doesn’t take long before the fallout starts hitting closer to home, putting both her career and her fragile peace at risk.
Episodes 1-2 premiere Thursday, Sept. 18 at 12 a.m. ET on Hulu
‘Black Rabbit’ (Netflix)
Watch On
In this new crime thriller miniseries, Jason Bateman trades the backwoods of “Ozark” for Manhattan’s high-stakes nightlife. He’s Vince, a wayward ne’er-do-well whose gambling debts and bad decisions drag down his brother Jake (Jude Law), the owner of the city’s hottest restaurant.
After Vince shows up one night in danger, what follows is a tense, fast-moving ride through neon-soaked city streets as family loyalty is put to the ultimate test. Sometimes the people you love are the ones who can destroy you.
All 8 episodes premiere Thursday, Sept. 18 at 3 a.m. ET on Netflix
‘Tulsa King’ season 3 (Paramount Plus)
Watch On
Samuel L. Jackson storms into Tulsa, and Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) has his hands full. The third season of Taylor Sheridan’s mob drama finds Dwight’s empire booming — but so are those of his enemies.
The most dangerous of them are the Dunmires, a ruthless old-money family who don’t play by the rules. Dwight and his right-hand, Tyson (Jay Will), are gearing up for violence, while Jackson’s Russell Lee Washington Jr. crashes the party and is poised to shake up Tulsa’s crime scene.
Episode 1 premieres Sunday, Sept. 21 at 3 a.m. ET on Paramount Plus
