Your favorite shows may look a bit different when they return with new seasons, thanks to new names on the call sheets and some very conspicuous absences in the opening credits.
For instance, The Blacklist, Chicago Med, Bull, Grey’s Anatomy, The Resident and The Good Doctor will be missing familiar faces when they return from their summertime hiatuses. where as both NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles have undergone significant shake-ups.
Elsewhere, series such as Superman & Lois, Chicago Fire and Walker have handed out promotions, while Succession, The Boys, Doom Patrol and others are welcoming new members to their respective ensembles. Also of note: that Marvelous Mrs. Maisel will feature not one but two Gilmore Girl alums, a Prodigal Son favorite is bound for Westworld, and Ariana Grande will voice her opinions on, well, The Voice.
In this frequently updated Ins & Outs guide, TVLine lists the new series regulars, recurring players and noteworthy guest stars on returning favorite shows for the Fall TV season (i.e. September premieres) and beyond. This handy, alphabetical round-up also offers a refresher on who has gone bye-bye since last we checked in.
