Fall TV premiere dates 2019: When your favorite show returns, and your next one starts
What do doctors, lawyers, murderers and wrestlers have in common? They want to know when the fall TV season starts.
The major broadcast networks – and increasingly, cable and streaming outlets – traditionally debut their new series in the fall, and this year’s calendar is once packed full with dramas and comedies. There’s even a sprinkling of sports in the mix.
Highlights this year include ABC’s “Mixed-ish” spin-off, which explores the childhood of Rainbow Johnson, played by Tracee Ellis Ross on “Black-ish.” Bradley Whitford, Cobie Smulders and Kal Penn are coming back to primetime with new shows. We’ll also be seeing premieres for series saying goodbye this season, including “Empire” and “Modern Family.”
And before all these premieres, the Emmys will be handing out their annual trophies on Sept. 22 (here are the nominees).
So check out our calendar below to make sure you don’t miss the return of your favorite series or the start of a new show you’ll fall in love with. (All times EDT/PDT).
