Hope you’ve cleared your calendar because, judging by these fall 2018 movie, TV, and book release dates, you’re going to have a pretty busy next three months.
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a lot coming out in the next three months. For one thing, it’s fall TV season and all of our favorite (and perhaps not-so-favorite) shows are starting up again. Not only that but there’s also a slew of new shows to add to your already overwhelming TV schedule. Sure, they may not all be great, but you’ve got to at least try all of them once, right?
And then there are all of the movies coming out. While there aren’t a ton of superhero/comic movies on the slate for the fall, there are flicks like Bad Times at the El Royale and The Hate U Give that we’ve all been eagerly anticipating for months.
But perhaps the most overwhelming lists of fall 2018 release dates are ones for all of the book releases. The fall is traditionally a busy time for books because people are going back to school and publishers want to make sure to have their best books out by the time the holiday shopping season rolls around. Makes sense. But, for some reason, it just feels like this fall has 1000x more releases than usual. It’s crazy!
So no matter what your tastes are, you’re sure to find at least a few fall 2018 movie, TV, and book release dates listed below that you’ll want to mark down in your calendar.
Happy fall everyone!
