Fall TV has kicked off in a unique way this year. The recent conclusion of the writers’ strike coincided with the start of autumn, bringing an end to almost five months of picket line marches. Since July, members of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists have been striking for fair pay and better working conditions in the streaming era. The uncertain outlook for when your favorite shows will return depends on Hollywood executives’ willingness to agree to a fair deal for actors. As a result, several TV series are facing delays, including network hits like “Abbott Elementary,” the “Law & Order” franchise, and “Grey’s Anatomy,” as well as popular cable and streaming shows like “Stranger Things,” “Hacks,” and “Yellowstone.”
Despite these delays, there is still an abundance of TV shows currently airing. HuffPost’s Culture team has curated a list of recommended TV series, including both new and returning shows.
