From reboots like “Murphy Brown” to a new show starring Julia Roberts, you may be glued to your TV this fall!
Summer coming to an end does have a couple of silver linings: The kids go back to school and fall brings a whole new batch of TV shows for you to get addicted to.
We rounded up all the new shows that have premiere dates scheduled for this fall across network TV, cable and the major streaming outlets (Amazon, CBS All Access, Hulu and Netflix). You won’t see shows like “Last Man Standing” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” on the list because, while they are switching to new networks, they aren’t technically new shows.
The shows are sorted by the dates on which they’ll debut. There should be something for everyone on the list below!
‘America to Me’ (Starz)
Premiere: Aug. 26
This new documentary series will show viewers some tough realities about how teens today view the world. The series takes a candid look at 12 real-life students in one of Chicago’s most diverse schools. “America to Me” comes from Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Steve James (“Hoop Dreams”).

‘Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan’ (Amazon)
Premiere: Aug. 31

Premiere: Sept. 21
This might be Netflix’s most intriguing new series of the fall season.

Premiere: Sept. 24 at 9 p.m./8c
The original “Magnum P.I.” ran on CBS from 1980 to 1988 and made a star of Tom Selleck (and his mustache); obviously, the network hopes this reboot will have the same success. This time, Jay Hernandez (“Hostel”) stars as the ex-Navy SEAL who works as a private investigator in Hawaii. And, yes, Thomas Magnum will drive a vintage Ferrari.

‘Murphy Brown’ (CBS)
Premiere: Sept. 27 at 9:30 p.m./8:30c
Looking at CBS’s primetime lineup may cause you to believe you’ve gone back to the 1980s, thanks to series like “MacGyver,” “Magnum P.I.” and “Murphy Brown” being listed as new shows. But unlike those other two, the “Murphy Brown” reboot will bring original star and creator. Candice Bergen — who won five Emmys for the original series which aired from 1988 to 1998 — back as the titular TV news veteran.

‘The Cool Kids’ (Fox)
Premiere: Sept. 28 at 8:30 p.m./7:30c

‘God Friended Me’ (CBS)
Premiere: Sept. 30 at 8:30 p.m./7:30c
This high-concept drama has a wacky premise: An atheist gets an online friend request from God and “unwittingly becomes an agent of change” for other people, according to CBS. The series stars Brandon Michael Hall who, last year, led ABC’s short-lived sitcom “The Mayor.” Other recent shows with religious concepts, like ABC’s “Kevin (Probably) Saves the World” and CBS’s “Living Biblically,” were canceled after one season, so it’ll be interesting to see if this one finds its audience.
