Telephiles, it’s your time to shine! The fall season is well underway, which means some of your favorite television shows are coming back to the “small” screen.

Although it has been a longer wait than usual due to production shutdowns, your favorite characters will still be coming back and picking up right where they left off months earlier.

There are plenty of series returning to TV in the coming weeks, but here are 10 that you may be dying to see again.

 

10. October 8 – Supernatural (The CW)

TV Guide

The final season of Supernatural is back; the final 15 episodes will begin airing on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 8/7c, only on The CW. The series finale is also set to air on Thursday, Nov. 19 and it’s an ending you don’t want to miss.

 

9. October 9 – The Haunting of Bly Manor (Netflix)

YouTube

The Haunting of Bly Manor is the second installment of the horror anthology series on Netflix. The first season, The Haunting of Hill House, was a huge success so I assume this new season will be just as good.

I am an avid horror fan, so I will definitely check this out once it hits Netflix on Friday, Oct. 9.

 

8. October 13 – The Bachelorette (ABC)

US Magazine

In case you forgot, Clare Crawley’s season of The Bachelorette is right around the corner! Filming for season 16 took place during the COVD-19 pandemic, and it is one of the craziest, most shocking seasons in franchise history.

Get ready for a wild ride because Clare’s season starts airing on Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 8/7c– you DON’T want to miss it!

 

7. October 15 – SOCIAL DISTANCE (Netflix)

YouTube

Introducing the newest anthology: SOCIAL DISTANCE – the show takes place during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 8-part series displays the emotional hardships everyone has endured this past year. I think everyone should check this out because we can all agree that it has been an extremely tough year.

SOCIAL DISTANCE debuts on Netflix on Thursday, Oct. 15.

 

6. October 19 – Unsolved Mysteries (Netflix)

Netflix

Netflix announced in August that their revival of Unsolved Mysteries will be back sooner than we thought. Volume 2 contains the last six episodes of the season and will investigate plenty more cold cases, even including a ghost episode. I am really looking forward to this once it debuts on Netflix on Monday, Oct. 19.

 

5. October 21 – The Goldbergs (ABC)

Twitter

ABC’s favorite sitcom family is back just in time for their 8th season. Let’s see what kind of situations the family gets themselves in to this season – catch the two-episode season premiere on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at 8/7c.

 

4. October 27 – This Is Us (NBC)

IMDb

People of the world – the Pearson’s are back! I am extremely excited for my favorite television family to be back on the small screen in just a few weeks. It’s been a long time since season 4 ended, but I know it will be worth the wait.

Check out the two-hour season 5 premiere of This Is Us on Thursday, Oct. 27 at 9/8c.

 

3. October 28 – American Housewife (ABC)

Twitter

The Otto’s are back in time for the fall lineup! Although actress Julia Butters exited the show, the role of little Anna-Kat has been recast and the season will bring more surprises and funny moments, like usual.

Catch the season premiere on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 8:30/7:30c.

 

2. October 29 – Impractical Jokers: Dinner Party (truTV)

Reddit

One of the only shows that kept me from losing it during quarantine is returning with new episodes! Originally the series was set to return on Thursday, Oct. 15 but it has been pushed back by 2 weeks. All I can say is that I hope you all are ready for more funny stories and special guests!

 

Impractical Jokers: Dinner Party returns with new episodes on Thursday, Oct. 29 at 10/9c.

 

1. October 30 – The Mandalorian (Disney+)

YouTube

The best show of all time (ok, I know that’s a bit exaggerated) is back! The adventures of The Mandalorian and “The Child” who we all really know as Baby Yoda, are going to be bigger and better than ever before.

 

I absolutely love this show; I talk about this show all the time. If you asked everyone I know, they will tell you how much I love it!

 

The anticipated second season of The Mandalorian will air weekly episodes starting on Friday, Oct. 30, only on Disney+.
