THE HUB

If Sunday was the warm-up, Monday has apparently decided subtlety is overrated. CBS rolls out three consecutive season premieres with FBI, CIA and Harlan Coben’s Final Twist, The CW launches Private Eyes West Coast alongside the return of Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, and NBC has a fresh episode of Line of Fire waiting at 10 PM. Streaming isn't sitting this one out either. Hulu has a brand-new Family Guy Halloween special, Acorn TV brings Signora Volpe back for Season

Sunday television is officially waking up for fall. CBS kicks off its Premiere Week with the return of Marshals and Tracker, while HBO’s Lanterns reaches the end of its first season after eight episodes of murder, mystery and considerably more complicated Green Lantern business than anyone probably expected when this case began. Disney+ and Hulu also have the final day of the Austin City Limits Music Festival livestream, giving anyone who wants a break from scripted drama a c

Saturday television is doing a little bit of everything.

Friday is bringing Catherine Zeta-Jones with a revenge plan, celebrities spinning for charity and Dan Aykroyd digging into another batch of stories that sound too strange to be true. AMC+ launches Kill Jackie, ABC brings back Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and History kicks off Season 4 of The UnBelievable with Dan Aykroyd. Throw in a hefty streaming lineup and there are considerably worse ways to start the first weekend of October. TV Cave Top Pick: Kill Jackie Catherine Zeta-J

October is wasting absolutely no time giving us something to watch. Big Brother closes out Season 28 with its live finale, Netflix drops all seven episodes of East of Eden, and HBO launches its new legal drama WAR.

Wednesday is doing that fall-TV thing where suddenly three networks remember they have shows to premiere on the same night. Scrubs returns for Season 2 with two episodes beginning at 8 PM ET on ABC, The Amazing Race launches Season 39 at 9:30 PM, and Shark Tank opens Season 18 with a two-hour premiere event. And because apparently three premieres weren't enough, Survivor settles into its regular 90-minute format after last week's supersized Season 51 opener, FOX has new episo

Tuesday has a little bit of everything, but the biggest television event isn't coming from the traditional fall lineup. The 2026 MLB postseason begins today with four Wild Card games, including a primetime Red Sox-Yankees showdown on NBC and Peacock. ABC counters with Dancing with the Stars going full soft rock for “Yacht Rock Night,” while FOX's Tuesday medical block continues with Best Medicine and Doc. NBC Sports confirms all four Wild Card series begin today, September 29

Monday has one goodbye that has been eight seasons in the making. All American airs its series finale tonight at 8 PM ET on The CW, bringing the story that began with Spencer James back in 2018 to its conclusion. NBC, meanwhile, settles into the regular Monday rhythm for The Voice and Line of Fire, while ABC and ESPN hand the night over to the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football. There's more happening outside the broadcast networks, too. High Value

Sunday has one very obvious centerpiece: the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards are live tonight, with Snoop Dogg hosting from Los Angeles and Madonna opening the show with her first VMA performance in 23 years. The ceremony begins at 7:30 PM ET on CBS and MTV, with Paramount+ Premium carrying it live. Madonna leads this year's field with 11 nominations, while Taylor Swift follows with nine and Swift's new “Patient Zero” music video is getting its world premiere during the show. Scr

Saturday is handing most of daytime television over to college football, but primetime has a little something for everybody. Saturday Night Live finally returns for Season 52 with Jalen Brunson making his hosting debut, Farm Aid takes over CNN for four live hours, and No. 20 Oregon heads to No. 12 USC for one of the day's biggest college-football matchups. NBC confirms SNL premieres tonight at 11:30 PM ET, while Farm Aid's official site and CNN have the festival beginning onl

Friday is a little lighter than Thursday's premiere pileup, but there's one obvious headliner: S.W.A.T. Exiles finally premieres today on STARZ, bringing Shemar Moore back as Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson after eight seasons of S.W.A.T.. STARZ is also keeping Friday busy with a new Outlander: Blood of My Blood and the Season 1 finale of Fightland. Sports fill out much of the rest of the evening. No. 5 Indiana hosts Northwestern on FOX, Rutgers gets a Friday-night home game against

Paramount+ also has the Season 4 finale of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, plus the complete first season of Team Moms: Baseball. Broadcast isn't exactly sitting this one out. Gordon Ramsay starts Season 25 of Hell's Kitchen, Special Forces: World's Toughest Test

Wednesday is busy-busy, with broadcast premieres, a major finale and several worthwhile streaming drops fighting for attention. Survivor begins Season 51 with a supersized two-hour premiere on CBS, while America's Got Talent crowns its Season 21 winner on NBC. FOX also launches new seasons of The Floor and 99 to Beat, so apparently Wednesday has decided we haven't been watching enough people compete for money lately. Streaming is just as crowded. Brothers pairs real-life frie

Sunday has a surprisingly busy lineup before broadcast television really kicks into fall-premiere mode next week. Lioness wraps its third season on Paramount+, Jon Hamm leads the premiere of American Hostage, and Lanterns continues its first season with only a few episodes remaining. Paramount+ confirms Lioness Season 3 was designed as an eight-episode run ending today, September 20. There's plenty beyond scripted drama too. Kevin Hart brings Cold as Balls to Netflix, David C

Saturday belongs to college football, and there are enough ranked teams on television to make the remote work overtime. The biggest game comes in primetime as No. 7 LSU visits No. 8 Ole Miss, while No. 3 Notre Dame hosts Michigan State on NBC and Peacock. ESPN's College GameDay is also in Oxford for the first top-10 LSU-Ole Miss matchup in the rivalry's history. For anyone whose Saturday plans don't involve football, there are options. Lori Loughlin returns as Jennifer Shanno
