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.

A day after Apple TV has Cate Blanchett in DISCLAIMER in which she plays a journalist who has the tables turned on her by a mysterious novel, written by Kevin Kline, which reveals her darkest secrets. October 18th brings RIVALS to Disney Plus and Hulu, with Aidan Turner, David Tennant in the story about the rise of independent television in 1980s England, the rise filled with sex, scandals and battles for power.

NEW MULTICAMERA SITCOMS OF OCTOBER

October also brings us a number of new multicamera sitcoms which are experiencing a revival this season. On the 17th CBS launches GEORGIE AND MANDY'S FIRST MARRIAGE which will see Montana Jordan and Emily Osment reprise their roles from Young Sheldon in a prequel series.

CBS also has POPPA'S PLACE starting October 21st with Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr., as a legendary talk show host named Poppa and his dreamer son.

 

NEW AUTUMN SERIES WITH NO DATE SET

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.
