Is it even fall if I’m not mentally juggling 12 premieres, 4 streaming apps, and 1 show that’s trying to win back my trust after a season 9 disaster (Scrubs, I’m looking at you)?
Here’s what’s on my watchlist this fall, broken down by excitement level, premiere date, and how many hours of my life I’m willingly handing over to the algorithm gods.
High Stakes & Hot Messes: My Must-Watch Premieres
📍 Scrubs – Not-a-Reboot Special Event
🗓️ TBD – but confirmed!
🧠 After that cursed “Season 9,” they’re finally calling in a do-over. It’s not a reboot. It’s not a sequel. It’s a redemption arc. I’ll be watching with cautious optimism and emotional backup snacks.
🚨 9-1-1: Nashville (ABC)
🗓️ September 25, 2025
This franchise keeps expanding like a firetruck-themed multiverse. Nashville’s getting its moment, and yes, I’m showing up for the drama.
🧪 Gen V – Season 2 (Prime Video)
🗓️ September 17, 2025
Gen Z superheroes with moral decay? Inject it directly into my fall lineup. Season 1 was violent, weird, and surprisingly deep. Season 2 looks ready to double down.
Network Comebacks I’ll Be Watching (Possibly While Folding Laundry)
🏠 The Neighborhood – Season 8
🗓️ October 13, 2025
Sometimes you just want a cozy sitcom and Cedric being Cedric. This one’s reliable, like a mug of lukewarm coffee that somehow still hits.
🚓 9-1-1 – Season 9 (ABC)
🗓️ October 16, 2025
Yes, I track both the OG and the spinoff. No, I’m not okay.
💍 Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage – Season 2 (CBS)
🗓️ October 16, 2025
This Young Sheldon spinoff somehow got me invested in Georgie. Blame Mandy. Blame the baby. Blame CBS and their ability to manufacture emotional blackmail.
🔍 Tracker – Season 3 (CBS)
🗓️ October 19, 2025
Justin Hartley walks into danger with a flannel shirt and the algorithm says: “You might also like this.” And I do.
Streaming Drops I’m Clearing Space For
🌍 Upload – Season 4 (Prime Video)
🗓️ August 25, 2025
Still the best show about dying and going to cloud storage. I’m expecting glitched romance, satirical capitalism, and at least one deeply uncomfortable tech joke.
🧨 Peacemaker – Season 2 (Max)
🗓️ August 21, 2025
John Cena’s helmet is back. So is the pet eagle. And I am here for more meta-violence and uncomfortable growth.
🧠 Stranger Things – Season 5 (Netflix)
🗓️ November 26, 2025
The final season. We made it. Let’s finish this Upside Down mess before these kids turn 40.
Bonus Picks: Yes, I’m Also Watching These
- 🧠 The Floor – Season 4
🗓️ September 24, 2025
Is it a game show? A fever dream? Both? Still watching. - 🦈 Shark Tank – Season 17
🗓️ September 24, 2025
For when I want capitalism with extra teeth. - 🎤 SNL – Season 51
🗓️ September 27, 2025
I’m watching for the nostalgia. And maybe the chaos. - 🌪️ Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time – Season 1
🗓️ July 27, 2025
Feels like an emotional gut-punch incoming. Scheduling my recovery snacks accordingly.
TL;DR: This Fall, I’m Watching…
- Streaming TV premieres that twist my brain (Upload, Gen V)
- Binge TV options with multiple seasons lined up
- TV show comebacks I’m emotionally unprepared for (Scrubs, Peacemaker)
- Network dramas I probably shouldn’t still be watching (9-1-1, both versions)
- And yes… probably more than I should admit out loud.

We hate ads too. But unfortunately, none of the streaming platforms accept sarcasm as payment.
