AUTUMN TV SCHEDULE
NEW SEPTEMBER 2024 TV SERIES
Unlike some previous seasons, this one has a very bleak start, I think we are finally feeling the consequences of the actors' strike. So not much to report when it comes to new series this September. Netflix will launch THE PERFECT COUPLE on September 5th with Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber as a rich family that unravels after a body washes up right outside 
their family home. Channel 5 has set September 9th date for the second season of THE TEACHER series about a teacher whose pupil goes missing. Apple TV is launching their fashion house set series LA MAISON September 20th with Lambert Wilson as the head of the house whose
rival wants to take it from him. Over in Britain ITV will air their mini series PLAYING NICE with James Norton and Niamh Algar as one of two couples who discover their toddlers were switched at birth. I hear it will start September 19th, while BBC will air their NIGHTSLEEPER series September 15th. This real-time thriller is set on a runaway sleeper train travelling from Glasgow to London.

There are also new series that will arrive this Autumn but we still have no dates for them. HBO and Sky will launch DUNE: PROPHECY sometime in November with Emily Watson and Olivia Williams as two sisters who
found a mysterious sect Bene Geserit in order to protect the galaxy. PBS and BBC will probably bring us Keeley Hawes in MISS AUSTEN mini series about Jane Austen's sister, Europe will follow the Battle of Belgrade in RISE 
OF THE RAVEN epic series about the fearless warrior Janos Hunyadi who defeated the Ottoman Army and defended Europe in 1456. Netflix will probably give us A 100 YEARS OF SOLITUDE based on the famous classic and set in the timeless town of Macondo, where seven generations of the
Buendía family navigate love, oblivion and the inescapability of their past and their fate. Over in UK Channel 5 is bringing HARDACRES epic drama about a working class family in 1890s Yorkshire who move from a grimy fish dock to a vast country estate, and THE WIVES mini series about three sisters
in law, who investigate the murder of a woman who was married to the fourth brother of their husbands and who appears at their holiday resort with a new wife. Over in France, period set series DANGEROUS FRIENDSHIP about the friendship between Anne queen of France and duchess de Chevreuse 
should, according to rumours, arrive sometime in September or October. I imagine that Netflix could also finally stream Italian costume drama IL GATTOPARDO about a 19th-century Sicilian aristocratic family that gets caught up in the changing sociopolitical times.

Is HAPPY'S PLACE trying to be new Cheers? Teacup is an unappealing but interesting name for tv series.
ReplyDeleteWe have been having some nice hot summer days here too, but quite pleasant. I was trying to sunbathing 30-60 mins without any sun cream...trying to get some more Vitamin D...don't like the idea of taking any supplements.
Well there were many other bar set sitcoms. I think Teacup is the name of the town, but if I got it right, the problem in the town is that they have got a vampire who kills people. I will do a post on it soon, probably.
DeleteMine, G-d willing, will come out on Thursday, like yours is mostly speculation, and I only deal with period drama.
ReplyDeleteMine is not speculative, only the last section is semi-speculative, but even there we know they are out this Autumn just not the exact date.
DeleteI don't see a lot that's grabbing my attention here. I might give Yvonne Strahovski's a try since I really like her. Of course, we will also try Reba and the Wayans as well.
ReplyDeleteI am missing my sitcoms, I had to watch baking competitions on You Tube after I finished Bob Hearts Abashola this summer.
DeleteThere's just been so good sitcoms lately, has there? I really hope some of the autumn ones do well, but if not, I guess we have Hallmark holiday at least to look forward to.
DeleteI cannot bloody remember which was the last good one, Bob was nice, but tiresome at some point, Frasier revival was OK but nothing overly amazing, Night Court is boring as hell. What I do like usually gets cancelled. That John Cryer sitcom was also bad as shit.
DeleteThat's quite a selection.
ReplyDeleteWhich one did you like most?
