Ah, autumn. The kids are back in school, and the stifling heat of summer has finally subsided. It’s the perfect occasion to slip into a cozy sweater, grab a pumpkin spice treat, and settle in on the couch. With our beloved shows returning, there’s no guilt in indulging in some screen time, especially now that it gets dark before dinner.
Warning: Spoilers may follow.
This Is Us
When we last saw the Pearson family, emotions were running high as we dealt with the aftermath of Randall’s biological father’s death, debated Kevin’s choice between love and career, and pondered Jack and Rebecca’s relationship status. The show returns on September 26 with hints about Jack’s untimely demise—just be prepared for some emotional moments.
Will & Grace
After more than a decade off the air, Will & Grace is back on September 28, and it feels almost like stepping back into 2006. The iconic apartment set remains unchanged, and the original cast returns, including Harry Connick Jr. and Minnie Driver. And the best part? This revival has already been renewed for a second season, so we don’t have to worry about heartbreak.
Stranger Things
Our beloved group of teens is back, ready to send chills down our spines with their supernatural encounters. Season 1 left us with many unanswered questions about the Upside Down, Hawkins Laboratory, and Eleven’s fate. Season 2 drops on October 27, and we’re counting down the days.
Black-ish
Black-ish centers on the Johnson family, navigating life in a predominantly white neighborhood with humor and insight. From cultural identity to pressing societal issues, this show never shies away from tough topics. Season 4 returns on October 3, promising to deliver the same sharp wit and poignant commentary that fans love.
The Crown
Queen Elizabeth’s story is more than just a series of public appearances—this show explores her relationship with Prince Philip, the grief over her father’s death, and her ascension to the throne. I haven’t watched it yet, but it’s on my to-do list because the blend of royalty, romance, and politics is too intriguing to resist. You can catch up on Season 1 on Netflix before Season 2 arrives in December.
Ozark
Starring Jason Bateman and Laura Linney, Ozark tells the tale of a family caught in a drug cartel’s web. The first episode might be dark and heavy, but it draws you in with its gripping narrative. It’s so compelling that it’s already secured a second season.
Friends From College
I admit, I have a little crush on Fred Savage, but this show is far more than just nostalgia. With an ensemble cast including Keegan-Michael Key, it’s sharply funny and relatable. It follows a group of college friends grappling with their past and present dynamics. The first season premiered over the summer, and luckily, Netflix has announced a second season.
So, put the kids to bed a little early, silence your phone, and enjoy a cozy night in with these fantastic shows. Everything else can wait—your couch date is calling!
