2023 Fall Preview

So, I would usually go all out with a fall television preview, but with the ongoing actor/writer strike, it’s going to be a long time for some TV favourites to return. Here’s the short list. Also keep in mind that any of these dates can change as the studios panic with no actors to promote their stuff.
(Green = New Series, Blue=Returning Series)

The Morning Show: Season 3 (Wed.Sept.13) on Apple TV+
The Continental (Fri.Sept.22) on Prime
Prequel to John Wick with a younger Winston (includes Mel Gibson)
The Amazing Race: Season 35 (Wed.Sept.27) on CBS
Lego Masters: Season 4 (Thu.Sept.28) on FOX
The Simpsons: Season 35 (Sun.Oct.1) on FOX
Loki: Season 2 (Fri.Oct.6) on Disney+
A Murder at the End of the World (Tue.Nov.14) on Disney+
Sounds like Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None
Fargo: Season 5 (Tue.Nov.21) on FX
