What’s new to AMC+ this fall?
While AMC’s current crown jewel, Interview with the Vampire, won’t be back until 2026, AMC is offering up a new story set within Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe that’s sure to intrigue fans of the supernatural. All just in time for Halloween!
Talamasca: The Secret Order
As fans of Interview with the Vampire eagerly await the show’s third season (re-titled The Vampire Lestat), they can sink their fangs into other corners of AMC’s Immortal Universe thanks to the release of Talamasca: The Secret Order. The spin-off series draws from Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles and Lives of the Mayfair Witches.
In Rice’s work, and in the show, the Talamasca is a secret society that monitors the world’s supernatural activity. We’re talking vampires, witches, demons, and more. Interview with the Vampire already gave viewers a taste of the Talamasca in Season 2, but based on Talamasca‘s first trailer, there’s so much more supernatural goodness where that came from. As if that weren’t enough, Interview with the Vampire‘s Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) is set to make an appearance in Talamasca, suggesting major overlap between the shows.
Starring: Nicholas Denton, Elizabeth McGovern, William Fichtner, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Céline Buckens, Jason Schwartzman, and Eric Bogosian
How to watch: Talamasca: The Secret Order premieres Oct. 26 at 9 p.m. ET on AMC and AMC+.
What’s new to Apple TV+ this fall?
Several of Apple TV+’s biggest shows are returning this fall, including the Emmy–winning Slow Horses and The Morning Show. But the most intriguing title has to be the sci-fi series Pluribus, from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan.
The Last Frontier
Between 2023’s Hijack and the upcoming The Last Frontier, Apple TV+ is really starting to lean into the genre of “shows where something goes horribly wrong on a plane.” In The Last Frontier‘s case, that “something wrong” is a full-on plane crash in the Alaskan wilderness. The plane in question is a prison transport, and the crash allows dozens of its violent passengers to escape. (Think Con Air meets The Grey.)
Now, it’s up to U.S. Marshal Frank Remnick (Jason Clarke) to protect a nearby town from the escaped passengers. However, he’s got a sneaking suspicion that the crash wasn’t an accident at all, but part of a larger conspiracy.
Starring: Jason Clarke, Dominic Cooper, Haley Bennett, Simone Kessell, Dallas Goldtooth, Tait Blum, and Alfre Woodard
How to watch: The Last Frontier premieres Oct. 10 on Apple TV+.
Loot, Season 3
You could always use more Maya Rudolph in your life, so be sure to get your required Rudolph dose with Season 3 of Loot.
The show follows billionaire Molly Wells (Rudolph), who’s on a mission to use her $87 billion divorce settlement to do good with her philanthropic organization, the Wells Foundation. On top of Rudolph, Loot boasts a stacked ensemble cast that includes Joel Kim Booster, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Nat Faxon, and Ron Funches.
Starring: Maya Rudolph, Joel Kim Booster, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, Nat Faxon, Ron Funches, Stephanie Styles, D’Arcy Carden, Adam Scott, Zane Phillips, and Henry Winkler
How to watch: Loot Season 3 premieres Oct. 15 on Apple TV+.
The Morning Show, Season 4
It’s time to tune back into UBA, because The Morning Show returns this fall. Season 4 picks up two years after the events of Season 3. The UBA-NBN merger is officially complete, and several new players are entering the broadcasting game to either ally themselves or butt heads with the likes of Alex (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley (Reese Witherspoon). New cast members include Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, William Jackson Harper, and Boyd Holbrook.
The Morning Show showrunner Charlotte Stoudt has teased that Season 4 will touch on pressing concerns like deepfakes and AI. But more importantly, what will the show do to top sending Bradley to space in Season 3?
Starring: Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Karen Pittman, Greta Lee, Nestor Carbonell, Jon Hamm, Nicole Beharie, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Boyd Holbrook, William Jackson Harper, and Aaron Pierre
How to watch: The Morning Show Season 4 premieres Sept. 17 on Apple TV+.
Pluribus
Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn proved a match made in heaven in Better Call Saul. This fall, the dream team reunites for Pluribus, a genre-bending show about how the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness. Plot details are otherwise shrouded in secrecy, but between the Gilligan-Seehorn reunion and the fact that Apple TV+ has already picked the show up for a second season, we’re absolutely seated.
Starring: Rhea Seehorn, Karolina Wydra, Carlos-Manuel Vesga, Miriam Shor, and Samba Schutte
How to watch: Pluribus premieres Nov. 7 on Apple TV+.
Slow Horses, Season 5
The Emmy–winning espionage drama Slow Horses returns for its highly anticipated fifth season, based on Mick Herron’s fifth Slough House book, London Rules. (Shout out to the show for putting out five seasons since its 2022 premiere — I admire the efficiency.)
This time around, the Slow Horses, led by Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman), are investigating a series of increasingly bizarre events befalling London. Expect tech specialist Roddy Ho (Christopher Chung) to take on a bigger role this season, especially since his glamorous new girlfriend makes the whole team suspicious.
Starring: Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jack Lowden, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Ruth Bradley, James Callis, Tom Brooke, Jonathan Pryce, and Nick Mohammed
How to watch: Slow Horses premieres Sept. 24 on Apple TV+.
What’s new to Disney+ this fall?
It’s a franchise-heavy fall for Disney+, which welcomes back Percy Jackson and the Olympians and introduces a new Marvel hero in Wonder Man.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Season 2
Get excited, demigods! We’re headed back to Camp Half-Blood for Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2, which adapts Rick Riordan’s The Sea of Monsters. Book readers know that there will be no rest for Percy (Walker Scobell) after he successfully returned Zeus’s Master Bolt in Season 1. Now, he faces another dangerous quest: Find the Golden Fleece in the Bermuda Triangle — and hopefully save his missing bestie, Grover (Aryan Simhadri), on the way.
Luckily, he won’t be alone: Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) is along for the ride, as is Percy’s half-brother, Tyson (Daniel Diemer). Expect larger roles for Clarisse (Dior Goodjohn) and Luke (Charlie Bushnell) too, and the arrival of more monsters straight out of Greek myth. Scylla and Charybdis, here we come.*
Starring: Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn, Glynn Turman, Jason Mantzoukas, Toby Stephens, Virginia Kull, Daniel Diemer, Tamara Smart, Andra Day, Timothy Simons, Sandra Bernhard, Kristen Schaal, and Margaret Cho
How to watch: Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 premieres Dec. 10 on Disney+.
Wonder Man

The MCU gets meta with Wonder Man, a miniseries about struggling actor Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) auditioning for the role of a superhero, only to become a superhero himself.
Created by Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton and 30 Rock and Community writer Andrew Guest, Wonder Man is a show under the “Marvel Spotlight” banner, meaning you won’t need to watch other MCU shows to understand what’s going on. Still, that doesn’t mean you won’t be seeing any familiar faces from the MCU. Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), of Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi fame, will be popping up, presumably as another actor in Simon’s circle.*
Starring: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ben Kingsley, Demetrius Grosse, Ed Harris, Lauren Glazier, Josh Gad, Byron Bowers, and Manny McCord
How to watch: Wonder Man premieres this December on Disney+.
What’s new to Hulu/FX this fall?
On top of the return of Only Murders in the Building, Hulu and FX are launching several exciting new shows this fall, including noir The Lowdown, sports comedy Chad Powers, and campy legal drama All’s Fair.
All’s Fair
New Ryan Murphy show alert! For his upcoming legal drama All’s Fair, the TV mogul is teaming back up with Kim Kardashian for their second collaboration since American Horror Story Season 12. This time, though, Kardashian is the lead, which is an… intriguing move given the who’s who of powerhouse actresses Murphy has cast alongside her: Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close. Will Kardashian be able to hold her own against these Emmy and Oscar nominees and winners?
All’s Fair centers on a team of female divorce attorneys who leave a male-dominated firm and start their own practice. There, they weather scandals, secrets, and in-fighting (and wear many, many glamorous fur coats). With this one, we’re hoping for scenery chewing, great one-liners, and camp.
Starring: Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noszka, Sarah Paulson, and Glenn Close
How to watch: All’s Fair premieres this fall on Hulu.
Chad Powers
Remember when Eli Manning went undercover as a man named Chad Powers at Penn State’s walk-on football tryouts? Well, that video is now the basis for an entire TV show, starring Glen Powell (Hit Man, Twisters). The move (and the show’s sports focus) calls to mind the creation of Ted Lasso, since the character originally starred in ads for NBC’s coverage of the premier league.
Mashable Top Stories
Created by Michael Waldron (Loki) and Powell, Chad Powers introduces quarterback Russ Holliday (Powell), whose bad behavior puts an unceremonious end to his college career. To get back in the game, Russ walks onto a struggling Southern football team disguised as the charming Chad Powers. (Of course he’s charming — he’s played by Glen Powell.) Could Russ’ alter ego help the team turn over a new leaf, and improve his own behavior?*
Starring: Glen Powell, Steve Zahn, Toby Huss, Perry Mattfeld, Clayne Crawford, Wynn Everett, Frankie A. Rodriguez, Colton Ryan, Keese Wilson, Xavier Mills, and Quentin Plair
How to watch: Chad Powers premieres Sept. 30 on Hulu.
The Lowdown

Sterlin Harjo, creator of the Emmy–nominated and Peabody Award–winning Reservation Dogs, returns to FX for noir series The Lowdown. The series stars Ethan Hawke — who collaborated with Harjo in one of Reservation Dogs‘ best episodes — as Tulsa citizen journalist Lee Raybon. As a self-proclaimed “truthstorian,” Lee is obsessed with uncovering the truth. However, that obsession can land him in some pretty hot water, especially once he tangles with the powerful Washberg family. A mysterious conspiracy and a Harjo-Hawke team-up? We’re sold.
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, Kaniehtiio Horn, Tim Blake Nelson, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Kyle MacLachlan, and Keith David
How to watch: The Lowdown premieres Sept. 23 at 9 p.m. ET on FX. Episodes stream the next day on Hulu.
Only Murders in the Building, Season 5
Ring in the fall with a return to the Arconia, the most murder-ridden building in all of New York City. That’s right, Only Murders in the Building is back for Season 5, giving podcasting trio Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) yet another case to solve. This time around, the murder victim is Arconia doorman Lester (Teddy Coluca). Based on the trailer, his untimely death could have ties to the New York mob — or to a group of billionaires who keep skulking around crime scenes.
Who plays these billionaires, you may ask? None other than Christoph Waltz, Renée Zellweger, and Logan Lerman, three major names joining Only Murders‘ already impressive list of guest stars. They’re not alone, though: This season also adds Téa Leoni, Bobby Cannavale, Beanie Feldstein, Jermaine Fowler, Keegan-Michael Key, and Dianne Wiest to the mix, while Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Richard Kind, Nathan Lane, and Michael Cyril Creighton are all set to return. Which of these stars will make it out alive, and which one is a murderer? Tune in to Season 5 to get the scoop.
Starring: Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez, Michael Cyril Creighton, Teddy Coluca, Christoph Waltz, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Téa Leoni, Bobby Cannavale, Beanie Feldstein, Jermaine Fowler, Keegan-Michael Key, Dianne Wiest, Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Richard Kind, and Nathan Lane
How to watch: Only Murders in the Building Season 5 premieres Sept. 9 on Hulu.
What’s new to HBO/HBO Max this fall?
From horror title It: Welcome to Derry to gritty crime drama Task, tune into HBO Max’s fall programming if you want an extra dose of tension.
It: Welcome to Derry
No, It: Welcome to Derry isn’t about Pennywise the clown (Bill Skarsgård) joining up with the Derry Girls crew. (But wouldn’t that be delightful?)
Instead, this prequel to Andy Muschietti’s It films takes us back to Derry, Maine, in 1962, when Pennywise last awoke to frighten the living daylights out of the children of Derry. According to Entertainment Weekly, It: Welcome to Derry draws inspiration from Mike Hanlon’s interludes in Stephen King’s It, which means book fans can look out for key moments like the racially motivated burning of the Black Spot, a Derry club that served Black customers.*
Starring: Jovan Adepo, Chris Chalk, Taylour Paige, James Remar, Stephen Rider, Bill Skarsgård, Madeleine Stowe, Alixandra Fuchs, Kimberly Guerrero, Dorian Grey, Thomas Mitchell, BJ Harrison, Peter Outerbridge, Shane Marriott, Chad Rook, Joshua Odjick, Morningstar Angeline, and Rudy Mancuso
How to watch: It: Welcome to Derry premieres this October on HBO and HBO Max.
Task
Looking for a crime drama in the vein of Mare of Easttown? Then you’re in luck, because Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby is returning to HBO with the miniseries Task.
The series stars Mark Ruffalo as an FBI agent who heads up a task force investigating a string of violent robberies in the working class suburbs of Philadelphia. At the head of these robberies is an unsuspecting family man (Ozark‘s Tom Pelphrey) looking to give his kids a better life. Get ready for a gritty cat-and-mouse game between Ruffalo and Pelphrey, who lead an exciting (and sprawling) ensemble cast.
Starring: Mark Ruffalo, Martha Plimpton, Mireille Enos, Tom Pelphrey, Emilia Jones, Thuso Mbedu, Raúl Castillo, Jamie McShane, Sam Keeley, Fabien Frankel, Alison Oliver, Owen Teague, Dominic Colón, Margarita Levieva, Raphael Sbarge, Mickey Sumner, Elvis Nolasco, Colin Bates, Isaach De Bankolé, Phoebe Fox, Silvia Dionicio, and Coral Peña
How to watch: Task premieres Sept. 7 on HBO and HBO Max.
What’s new to Netflix this fall?
The biggest story on Netflix this fall is undoubtedly the final season of Stranger Things, Season 5. While that epic last chapter doesn’t kick off until Nov. 26, there’s still so much to look forward to before then, like the cartoon Haunted Hotel and mysterious limited series Wayward.
Black Rabbit
Jude Law and Jason Bateman team up for Black Rabbit, a gritty drama about two brothers who are big players in the New York nightlife scene. Law plays Jake Friedkin, the owner of Black Rabbit, a high-profile restaurant and VIP lounge. Black Rabbit is set to become New York’s hottest destination, but the unexpected return of Jake’s troublesome brother, Vince (Bateman), throws Black Rabbit into chaos. As past traumas and new opponents collide, Jake and Vince will have to stand strong together if they want the business they’ve built to survive.
Starring: Jude Law, Jason Bateman, Cleopatra Coleman, Amaka Okafor, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Dagmara Domińczyk, Chris Coy, Troy Kotsur, Abbey Lee, Odessa Young, Robin De Jesus, Amir Malaklou, Don Harvey, Forrest Weber, Francis Benhamou, Gus Birney, John Ales, and Steve Witting
How to watch: Black Rabbit premieres Sept. 18 on Netflix.
Haunted Hotel
Rick and Morty fans, your new cartoon obsession may be close at hand in Netflix’s Haunted Hotel. Created by Rick and Morty writer Matt Roller, the series is also executive produced by Dan Harmon and Steve Levy. That’s already a lot of creative overlap between the two shows, even before we get to Haunted Hotel‘s zany premise.
The series checks viewers into the Undervale, a hotel plagued with all manner of ghosts and demons. Single mother Katherine (voiced by Eliza Coupe) runs the establishment with help from her estranged brother Nathan (Will Forte), who also happens to be one of the hotel’s ghosts. Expect ridiculous hauntings with a sweet family story at their core.
Starring: Eliza Coupe, Will Forte, Skyler Gisondo, Natalie Palamides, and Jimmi Simpson
How to watch: Haunted Hotel premieres Sept. 19 on Netflix.

Emmy–nominated rom-com Nobody Wants This returns for a second season this fall, in which viewers will see how podcaster Joanne (Kristen Bell) and rabbi Noah’s (Adam Brody) relationship has progressed. How will they continue to navigate their different faiths? And what’s next after the honeymoon phase?
On top of the return of Bell and Brody, Nobody Wants This has also added several new guest stars in Season 2, including Leighton Meester (Brody’s real-life wife) as Joanne’s high school nemesis turned Instagram mommy influencer, Abby.
Starring: Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, Jackie Tohn, Michael Hitchcock, Stephanie Faracy, Paul Ben-Victor, Tovah Feldshuh, Sherry Cola, D’Arcy Carden, Leighton Meester, Miles Fowler, Alex Karpovsky, and Arian Moayed

Stranger Things, Season 5
Stranger Things comes to an end this year, bringing viewers back to Hawkins, Indiana, and the Upside Down for what promises to be an epic final adventure.
Stranger Things Season 5 picks up over a year after the end of Season 4, which saw villain Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) bringing the Upside Down into the real world and wrecking Hawkins. Now, it’s up to Stranger Things‘ party of adventurers to take Vecna down and save the world once and for all. Here’s hoping we’re in for more badass psychic Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) fights, intense bike chases, and minimal deaths. Stay with us, Steve (Joe Keery)!
Starring: Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Brett Gelman, Jamie Campbell Bower, Cara Buono, Amybeth McNulty, Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly, Alex Breaux, and Linda Hamilton
Wayward
Looking to delve into an unsettling mystery this fall? Then check out Wayward, created by comedian Mae Martin.
Martin stars as police officer Alex Dempsey, who’s just moved to the picture-perfect town of Tall Pines. However, this lovely town is hiding some seriously sinister secrets, and as Alex learns, they may all lead back to a school for troubled teens, headed up by the mysterious Evelyn (Toni Collette). Whether you’re a fan of Martin’s work in shows like Feel Good or you can’t wait to witness another unsettling Colette performance in the vein of her work in Mickey 17 or Hereditary, Wayward has a lot to offer.
Starring: Mae Martin, Toni Collette, Sarah Gadon, Sydney Topliffe, Alyvia Alyn Lind, Brandon Jay McLaren, Tattiawna Jones, Isolde Ardies, Joshua Close, Patrick J. Adams, Patrick Gallagher, Gage Munroe, and Byron Mann

What’s new to Peacock this fall?
Peacock’s Office spin-off The Paper is among our most anticipated titles of the fall. Other Peacock titles of note include the Sarah Snook-led thriller All Her Fault and true crime drama Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy.
All Her Fault

After watching Sarah Snook’s Emmy–winning work as Shiv Roy in Succession, I’d watch her in anything. Lucky me, then, as Snook is back on TV in thriller All Her Fault. Snook plays Marissa Irvine, a mother who goes to pick up her son Milo from his first playdate. However, the woman who answers the door isn’t someone Marissa recognizes. Not only that, this woman has never even heard of Milo. What follows is a parent’s worst nightmare, all based on the novel by Andrea Mara.
Starring: Sarah Snook, Jake Lacy, Dakota Fanning, Michael Peña, Sophia Lillis, Abby Elliott, Daniel Monks, Jay Ellis, Thomas Cocquerel, Duke McCloud, and Kartiah Vergara
How to watch: All Her Fault premieres Nov. 6 on Peacock.
Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy
Peacock delivers a dose of true crime this fall with limited series Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy. The show tackles one of America’s most notorious serial killers in John Wayne Gacy (Severance‘s Michael Chernus), who became known as the “Killer Clown” due to his appearances at events like children’s birthday parties while dressed as Pogo the Clown.
From 1972 to 1978, Gacy kidnapped, raped, and murdered 33 men and teenage boys, burying 26 of them in the crawlspace of his suburban Illinois home. Hoping to avoid sensationalizing their deaths in the series, Devil in Disguise showrunner Patrick Macmanus opted not to depict any of the victims’ murders, telling Vanity Fair he wanted to focus more on their lives outside of their encounters with Gacy.
Starring: Michael Chernus, Gabriel Luna, James Badge Dale, Michael Angarano, Chris Sullivan, and Marin Ireland
How to watch: Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy premieres Oct. 16 on Peacock.
The Paper
Return to the world of The Office in The Paper, an Office spin-off from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman. The series picks back up with the documentary crew that followed Dunder Mifflin. This time, though, they’ve got their sights set on a different target: the Toledo Truth Teller, a once-historic local newspaper that’s now struggling. Idealistic editor-in-chief Ned (Domhnall Gleeson) hopes to turn the Truth Teller around with the help of volunteer reporters, but how can they restore the Truth Teller to its glory days when they’ve never written a story before?
Fans of The Office will get a kick out of The Paper‘s workplace cringe comedy and the return of Oscar (Oscar Nuñez). But The Paper stands on its own two feet, building a lovable newsroom in its own right and cementing itself as one of fall’s can’t-miss comedies.
Starring: Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Oscar Nuñez, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, and Tim Key
How to watch: The Paper premieres Sept. 4 on Peacock.
What’s new to Prime Video this fall?
If you love genre fiction, chances are Prime Video’s got something for you this fall. Love video game adaptations? Good news, Fallout‘s back! What about superhero stories with some edge? Dig into Gen V Season 2. And if you want fantasy adventuring, check out Critical Role’s The Mighty Nein.
Fallout, Season 2
Season 1 of Fallout cemented itself as one of the best video game adaptations of all time, racking up critical acclaim and 16 Emmy nominations, including one win for Outstanding Music Supervision. With the imminent arrival of Season 2, it’s time to head back to the wasteland and catch up with Lucy (Ella Purnell), Maximus (Aaron Moten), the Ghoul (Walton Goggins), and more.
The end of Season 1 saw Lucy turn against her father, Hank (Kyle MacLachlan), and fully join forces with the Ghoul, while Maximus was knighted as part of the Brotherhood of Steel. So what’s next for these wasteland dwellers? Given that Hank was headed to New Vegas in the Season 1 finale, it looks like we’ll be getting elements from Fallout: New Vegas. Hopefully we’ll also get some killer MacLachlan TikTok promotion along with it.
Starring: Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, and Kyle MacLachlan
How to watch: Fallout Season 2 premieres Dec. 17 on Prime Video.
Gen V, Season 2
Gen V took the gore and shock value of The Boys to college in its spectacular first season. Now school’s back in session at Godolkin University, and things look bleak for Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair) and her crew.
Off-campus, war is brewing between humans and supes, as Homelander (Antony Starr) rules America with an iron fist. On-campus, Godolkin has a sinister new dean (Hamish Linklater) who’s determined to push students to their limits. Plus, the mysterious Project Odessa — also mentioned in Season 4 of The Boys — keeps coming up. That’s not the only The Boys crossover on display, though. According to Gen V Season 2’s trailer, Marie will cross paths with Annie/Starlight (Erin Moriarty). Could this be an incredible team-up, or will it end in disaster for both heroines?
Starring: Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, and Asa German
How to watch: Gen V Season 2 hits Prime Video on Sept. 17.
The Mighty Nein
Critical Role struck gold adapting their first live-streamed Dungeons & Dragons campaign into The Legend of Vox Machina, an animated adventure that gets better season after season. Now, they look to do it again with The Mighty Nein, which adapts Critical Role’s second campaign. (The series gets hour-long episodes, as opposed to The Legend of Vox Machina‘s half-hour installments.)
The Mighty Nein introduces a brand-new adventuring party made up of fugitives and outcasts, each with their own dark secrets and trauma. Their first major mission? Saving the world from wrongdoers who would misuse the powerful arcane relic known as “the Beacon.” The very fabric of reality depends on their success. Expect magical hijinks, killer fight scenes, and a whole crew of heroes you may get way attached to, way too fast.
Starring: Laura Bailey, Taliesin Jaffe, Ashley Johnson, Matthew Mercer, Liam O’Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, and Travis Willingham
How to watch: The Mighty Nein premieres Nov. 19 on Prime Video.
