Fall 2020 TV Premieres - Every New And Returning Fall TV Show

It may be hard to believe, but summer is getting ready to wrap up. On one hand, that means the end of long days and breezy nights. But on the other hand, it's also the signal that the fall TV season is right around the corner.

Now, it goes without saying that because of the ongoing disruptions to the film and TV industry, things are going to be a little different this year. But while many shows might end up getting delayed, there are still plenty with premieres on the books in the coming months. Even if your favorite series is stuck in limbo, think of it as an opportunity to try something new.

We're listing every fall 2020 TV premiere and breaking them down by month. At the end, we'll also list everything that would normally be premiering over the next few months, but that hasn't set a date yet.

Even though it's technically still summer, August is teeing up the rest of the fall TV season with a bevy of new and returning shows. After being delayed for a few months past its typical premiere date, perennial summer favorite Big Brother is launching its 22nd competition, Big Brother: All-Stars. If you're in a reality TV mood in general, you can also check out season 5 of The Real Housewives of Potomac on Bravo and season 3 of Netflix's addictive high-end real estate series, Selling Sunset.

Anyone looking for a new series to pick up will have a couple of great options. Star Trek: Lower Decks, an animated comedy set in the world of the venerable sci-fi franchise, premiered on August 6 on CBS All Access. Meanwhile, HBO is bringing us cosmic horror with a mid-century American twist with Lovecraft Country, and Quibi is debuting its take on The Fugitive.

Speaking of Quibi, August is also bringing new seasons of Punk'd and Reno 911! to the streaming platform. If you're in the mood for entertainment on a larger scale, the end of the month are two huge events: the annual MTV Video Music Awards and Planet Earth: A Celebration, which features some of the best segments from previous installments of the nature doc with new narration and music.

Some network sitcoms we've been looking forward to all year are unfortunately being hit with delays, but that's not the case for Fox's iconic Sunday night animation lineup. September will see the premieres of The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Bob's Burgers right on schedule. On a similar note, animated spy comedy Archer's 11thseason is also dropping on September 16.

For some live-action entertainment, turn to Hulu and HBO. The former is bringing us the second season of the innovative teen comedy Pen15 and a new comedy series called Woke, which stars New Girl's Lamorne Morris as a cartoonist whose life changes after he becomes the victim of police brutality. The latter has two projects from acclaimed directors on the horizon. First, we're getting Jay Roach's Coastal Elites, a TV movie shot remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Later in the month is the premiere of a limited series by Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino called We Are Who We Are, about two American teenagers coming of age on an army base in Italy.

And to top it all off, season 2 of Amazon Prime's darkly humorous take on the superhero genre, The Boys, is dropping on the streaming platform September 4.

It wouldn't feel like October if things didn't get a little spooky. Thankfully, this year has a bounty of horrifying offerings coming to TV and streaming platforms. Hulu is bringing us two bone-chilling new shows. Monsterland is an anthology series that focuses on tales of encounters with unsettling creatures and terrifying beasts. Helstrom is from the world of Marvel and centers on a brother and sister, the children of a serial killer, who now fight to rid their community of evil.

AMC is also delivering the goods, as they always do. Season 6 of Fear the Walking Dead is shambling into our living rooms on October 11. Fans of the zombie apocalypse franchise also have yet another Walking Dead spin-off to look forward to in October. The Walking Dead: World Beyond, which takes place a decade after the apocalypse we're witnessing in the other two installments, is a limited ten-episode series that begins on October 4.

Rounding out the fall lineup is a grab bag of TV goodies. Hulu is teaming up with Eater and Maya Rudolph to bring the best food from around the world right into your home on Eater's Guide to the World. The streamer also has a tense Syrian war drama on the way titled No Man's Land, about a man who travels to ISIS-controlled territory in search of his sister. On a slightly lighter note is their upcoming reboot of the beloved '90s cartoon Animaniacs, which drops on Hulu on November 20.

Showtime has two high-profile celebrity documentaries on the way. November sees the premiere of The Reagans, an in-depth look at former President Ronald Reagan, First Lady Nancy Reagan, and their controversial tenure in the White House. This docuseries will air in four parts beginning on November 15. The following week, comedy fans will be treated to a documentary about the life and career of SNL and The Blues Brothers star John Belushi, aptly titled Belushi.

Now that we've got all the premieres we know about out of the way, it's time to get to the sadder news. There are a lot of series we'd normally expect to see on the fall lineup that, at the time of writing, are hanging in limbo. Some are reality TV competitions we've come to rely on every season, such as Dancing with the Stars, Survivor, and The Voice. Others are long-running procedurals that have defined the TV landscape of the past decade (or two) like NCIS, Blue Bloods, CSI, and Law & Order: SVU.

Some of these shows are still being promised for the fall TV season, while others are existing in the ether with no release in sight. Either way, for most of them, it's probably too soon to tell exactly when we're going to get them. That being said, some TV productions have begun filming again, which is a good sign for the industry in general. Still, for fans of Young Sheldon, Pose, The Goldbergs, and many others, it's hard to not feel uncertain heading into the fall 2020 TV season.
