'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' (Amazon – Sept. 2)
Fall television starts with a bang with the wildly expensive Amazon show The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power dropping on Sept. 2. This series is set thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings even before the rings were forged.

'Tell Me Lies' (Hulu – Sept. 7)
Hulu is pretty good at making edge-of-your-seat dramas these days. While we don’t know a ton about Tell Me Lies, we do know it’s about a woman’s toxic obsession with a man. That’s enough to get our attention.

'Quantum Leap' (NBC – Sept. 19)
If you’re a child of the '80s, '90s, or you simply enjoy well-made science fiction TV, you’ve probably seen the original Quantum Leap starring the great Scott Bakula. We have high hopes for the reboot and hope it stays true to the original.

'Andor' (Disney+ - Sept. 21)
If you asked us, the best contemporary Star Wars movie is Rogue One. That’s why we were so stoked to learn Disney+ would be making a series that was a prequel to the film that follows the exploits of Cassian Andor years before.

'Interview With the Vampire' (AMC – Oct. 2)
Decades ago, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and others starred in the film Interview With the Vampire. While the movie was great, there was obviously more to tell than a few hours could manage because the story is now a television show set to premiere on AMC.

'The Midnight Club' (Netflix – Oct. 7)
At this point, we’ll watch anything Mike Flanagan makes. Midnight Mass was one of the most underrated, creepy, tense shows we’ve seen in years. He’s set the bar high for The Midnight Club, a story of young people with terminal illnesses who start to experience strange things.
