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.

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.
NEW OCTOBER TV SERIES

October 2nd when Australian series
LAST DAYS OF THE SPACE AGE starts set at the moment when American space station Skylab crash lands on earth just outside
an Australian city, as it is gearing up to host the Miss Universe pageant.

Anna Torv 
and

NAUTILUS epic adventure series hits
Prime Video following
Shazad Latif's Captain Nemo and his crew.
NEW MULTICAMERA SITCOMS OF OCTOBEROctober
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

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
BuendÃa 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.
