Now is the time to start administering extra TLC to your DVR, because we’re about to drop on you nearly 100 season and series premiere dates for the fall.
Yes, it’s time for TVLine’s preternaturally handy calendar for the fall TV season, which quietly kicks off with Sons of Anarchy‘s farewell cycle and the three-part launch of Fox’s Utopia, gets absolutely ba-na-nas the week of Sept. 21 (with 41 premieres!) and on Sunday the 28th alone uncorks another nine shows.
Here is our round-up of September and October’s big premieres (and a smattering of significant finales), plus a cursory look at what November has in store. (The tinted box also reminds of midseason shows — a good way to save yourself from “Heavens to Betsy, where is Parks and Recreation?!” sorts of anxiety.)
New series are in BOLD. Click thumbnail, save the dates! (UPDATED 11/7)
Preemptive P.S. My calendar-making skills have never been infallible, so if you spot something that is (theoretically) missing, drop a nice note in Comments and I will (possibly) include it in an update.
You can also view the broadcast networks’ Fall TV roll-out plans in detail at these links: ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW.
Homeland, Oct. 5
Added!
Any word on AHS: Freak Show yet? Also, the Scream series in development at MTV?
AHS: Freak Show is October 15. There is also Death Comes to Pemberley on PBS Oct. 26.
Actually, a premiere date has not been announced for FREAK SHOW.
Now I’m confused, heh. Your calendar says October 8th, so is it or isn’t it? Deadline says the same.
My reply was from a small eternity ago. Oct. 8 has since been announced.
The Good Wife on 21 September should say “CBS)”
Aye, Eye!
Faking It season 2 is Sept 23rd correct?
Any news on the dates for Wilfred’s series finale, Rectify’s finale, Girl Meets World finale, Rizzoli & Isles midseason finale and Married finale? I know I am asking a lot Matt, Thanks for any answers.
Sorry, my primary objective above is premieres. TVLine’s daily What to Watch column is a journeyman when it comes to reminding of finales!
Completely understandable. Thanks for the calendar though.
I would hope GMW isn’t ending anytime too soon since it’s barely just started. there’s only been, what 5 eps so far yet? they have holiday episodes to come and that will also bring more of the original cast back into the fold. I’m hoping someone else will show up soon/before then though, I’m getting kinda antsy about it! lol.
I think Wilfted series finale a couple weeks but could be wrong.R&I Midseason finale is Tues Sept 2.I thought I heard GMW finale was Fri Aug 29 but I could be wrong since according to Wiki ,season one has 21 episodes
I actually was able to finally find some of the finales. GMW was on a little hiatus they come back Friday Sept 21st.
My Fall Premiere Schedule:
Aug.24 Outlander (Canadian airdate)
Sep.22 Gotham + Big Bang Theory + Scorpion + Sleepy Hollow

The new shows I`m most looking forward to are Outlander, Jane the Virgin and Strange Empire. Returning shows I am most looking forward to our Nashville, Revenge, The Originals and The 100.
Can’t wait for Outlander. The 100 was surprisingly good. I’m watching it on Hulu Plus because my local CW still isn’t HD. Apparently we are still living in 2004.
I agree The 100 was surprisingly amazing!

TV guide has the Originals starting tomorrow 8/14 @ 9…?
I am about to start season 2 of The 100! Im really proud it made it this far!
Selfie looks stupid. The word “Selfie” is annoying and the show shouldn’t have used it as it’s name. It will be cancelled after 4 eps.
And yet it’s quite possibly, in my opinion, the best new comedy of the fall. Still debating.
And where did that get trophy wife?
Touché
having seen the pilot episode I’m of the view that it has potential! If the writing remains a good standard it could go far plus I’m Scottish and I would like to see a fellow Scot succeed haha
The sneak peek premier of “selfie” was hilarious.
‘Selfie’ is such a totally dreadful, offputting title! But the pilot is charming, a total reinvention on the My Fair Lady/Pygmalian idea. Terrible title, but definitely worth checking out.
Republic of Doyle starts up Wednesday, 15 October at 9:00. :-)
Thank you!
Thanks Sooper Scoopers!
Nerd alert: I do this every fall for the shows I watch, and this will help me a lot. Thanks!
Where is The Newsroom ?? I’m pretty sure it was supposed to air on mid July (I remember the 12th or so). What happened ?
Nope, was never set for July; just a generic “fall” https://tvline.com/2014/01/13/the-newsroom-cancelled-season-3-last-ending/
I guess it was only my poor patience… Although it’s been a year already …They are killing me ! But thank you for your answer !
Sept 13 Deliverance Creek, Lifetime
No date for the Haven premiere?
I keep reading September 2014 but I can’t seem to get anyone to say a date.
When does the Newsroom season start?
Nobody knows…………
Awesome as always! Thanks TVLine :)
Any word on The Walking Dead?
I reckon they’re saving the announcement for Comic-Con this week.
Matt, are you going to be at Comic-Con????
Any idea when “The Fall” (Gillian Anderson, Jamie Dornan) season 2 premieres? Rumors are saying September but that seems awfully early for a show that had a turnaround of a year between filming and airing for the first season. Though if you could find out it would be much appreciated, thanks!
It’s supposed to premiere in the autumn on BBC Two, so sometime after that in the US. Filming wrapped in June.
Great news, thanks. Has that been officially reported somewhere? I knew they wrapped filming recently and was just skeptical about the premiere date because season 1 filmed spring ’12 and didn’t air until spring ’13. But if they’ve got everything finished in time for an autumn premiere that’s fantastic.
They just released the trailer a couple days ago and the article says autumn.
Walking Dead?
What does it mean that The Biggest Loser is on there twice, Sept 11 and Oct 2? Change in episode length?
Exactamundo.
Is the Nov 22 Hell on Wheels date a season finale or a start of a second half of the season?
Hmm, indeed — that’s the Season 4B premiere. Will update at my leisure.
Awesome, Thanks for all your wonderful calendar work. I think this is going to be my largest calendar file yet, going to have to start getting more picky about shows!
Big Brother Finale???
Big Brother finale is Wednesday Sept 17th not sure the time at this point. Could be 8pm two hours or 9pm 2 hours or a 1 hour finale show.
I thought the Supernatural retrospective was before the season 10 premiere, not the day before. Either more Supernatural is always good :D
Thank you so much! I’ve been waiting patiently for this ever since the final announcement of premiere dates from the major networks. Though I’m still awaiting the premiere dates of The Walking Dead and AHS: Freak Show, this calendar will hold me over for the time being!
The Affair (Showtime) 10/19
Oh, yes. Juicy stuff, just watched it today. Added!
Did I just miss seeing Bates Motel?
I don’t watch the show. But I just read that they will start filming this fall and the plan is to air in March like the previous seasons.
How about the League? Any word on it yet?
None. Just double-checked.
The League starts Tuesday, September 3rd @ 10 on FXX!!!!!!
I meant Wednesday
Any word on when the USA Network wil air the final season of White Collar?
None.
Where is Revenge ?
September 28th
Monday Sept 15th and Tuesday Sept 16th Dancing with the Stars Result show per Tom B twitter. Only those two days so far. The times are 8-9 pm both days.
I’m thinking it will be awhile before we hear about the Community premiere date, maybe something at comic-con?
UHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL
OUAT dia 28 no domingo xD
What about an end date for Big Brother? Thats somewhere in the mix, i’d think.
I know it’s not in September, but it may be worth stating that Top Model starts back on August 22nd.
Any word on when should we expect Community?
Why does it give The Big Bang Theory premiere dates for both september 22st and October 30th?
It’s a change of the day of the week on which it’s aired. BBT starts the season on Monday 9/22, then moves to Thursdays on 10/30.
Thanks for straightening that out for me because it is the ONLY non-rerun show I care to watch. I was wondering how it could “premiere” on two different nights.
99! oh my! Good job and thanks for that schedule, have been doing mine for years now, so yours help alot!
The Americans?
January 2015
When is Legends starting up?
August 13
Also, not to knock your grammar skills, but it should be CSI: Cyber not CSI; Cyber – full colon, instead of semi-colon
Fear not, you’re not knocking my grammar skills but my typing skills. I’ll consider a fix.
Oct 4 – Survivor’s Remorse (Starz)?
(Not that I’m looking forward to watch it. The trailer was bad).
Hi Matt! Excellent work as always.
I just can’t find “Emerald city”, “Angie Tribeca” and “Veep” in mid-season…
Is there a premiere date for Mike and Molly?
Nope. “Midseason.”
Can we possibly get the calendar in a PDF-type document for ease of printing out?
No, I’m not fancy/”techy” that way. I make jpegs!
Ok, I was just wondering. I’m not “techy” either.
I think this forum doesn’t do links, so remove the parenthesis. Here’s two versions in PDF, updated on Aug 12th:
– portrait PDF (1 page): (www).filedropper.(com)/falltvpremierespdf-portrait
– landscape PDF (2 pages): (www).filedropper.(com)/falltvpremierespdf-landscape
I’m surprised that CSI is set to start on Sundays instead of the Wednesdays like it has been for the past few years. I’m not sure if that will work out too well with ratings.
Any word on the next Top Chef?
was there an august calendar? I can’t find one.
Nope, and there will not be one. Too few pickings.
Two few? Really? Do you not read red eye chicago? They have plenty.
Just checked out their calendar/list, mostly shows TVLine would never include.
Thanks, Matt, as usual you keep us in the game. Love the calendar!
Past years’ calendars have been more printer friendly. No matter whether you put portrait or landscape Thurs – Sat is cut off.
I’m if anything friendly to printers. OK, what about NOW?
I had to save the image and print from a different program to get it correct. Printing from Chrome made it either too big or 1/4 of the page size.
I can think of “adapt to page size” at the top of my mind. Whatever size it comes out, I guess it’s still readable. You can also save the image and put it into a DOC. You can also redimension it in the same proggie you use to open it.
What about Dallas????
DALLAS Season 3B premieres Aug. 18.
Is there any time frame for the return of Downton Abbey?
Sept 21st for UK and Jan 4th for US premiere
What about The Mentalist??
“Midseason.”
Great job Matt! I don’t see Elementary….
Eff off Nashville writers. Srly. So done with this show.
South Park, Sept. 24
