You would think, as we head into the first full week of October that the fall 2015 television premieres would be winding down. You would be wrong. (Kind of).
While the majority of network television shows have debuted over the past few weeks, there is still more to come. Particularly if you’re a fan of really fast men, live television comedy and yes, zombies.
October 6
‘Flash’ The CW, 8 p.m.
After a stellar first season, will Flash season 2 face the deadly sophomore slump or knock it out of the park once again? Judging by the below preview, we’re going to guess the latter is more likely to occur. One thing is for sure: it looks like Cisco is still apt to naming the bad guys (Zoom? seriously?).
‘iZombie’ The CW, 9 p.m.
The first of two zombie shows to premiere this week, iZombie season 2 is back and it looks to be quite deadly.
October 7
‘Arrow’ The CW 8 p.m.
After a decidedly darker season, we’ve heard from the show’s creative team and cast that Arrow season 4 will feature more light-hearted storylines. So long as the season contains more scenes akin to Oliver and Felicity happily driving into the sunset, we are so in. Judging by the below preview, we get all that and then some. Like, Felicity wielding a machine gun, the Red Arrow, and more bad guys to fight!
‘Supernatural’ The CW 9 p.m.
Admittedly, this writer dropped out after season 8, but the fact that these men are still into Saving People, Hunting Things, the Family Business into season 11 is beyond impressive. Who is good and who is bad this season between Sam, Dean, and… a highway accident that evokes a Walking Dead-type mood.
‘American Horror Story’ FX 9 p.m.
Are y’all ready for this rollercoaster of a season? Early reports from those who have seen the screener say it is, once again, disturbing, crazy and wholly insane. Ryan Murphy, we worry about you sometimes.
October 8
‘The Vampire Diaries’ The CW 8 p.m.
There was a lot of noise around Nina Dobrev’s departure from The Vampire Diaries when she announced she was leaving the show earlier this year. Now TVD, entering its seventh season, will focus on the characters dealing with the repercussions of her departures.
‘The Originals’ The CW 9 p.m.
Klaus is only as strong as his family, which, right now, seems to be crumbling. How much more crazy can this show handle? The preview below looks like it’s only the beginning.
October 9
‘Undateable’ NBC 8 p.m.
The only returning NBC comedy this season, Undatable season 3 is going to try to do something television hasn’t done in a long time: live episodes. Sure, there’s SNL, and the two one-offs 30 Rock did back in the day, but, this is an experiment, a risk, that could either pay off big time or fail massively.
October 11
‘The Walking Dead’ FX 8 p.m.
The zombies are back! And with that, comes Rick Grimes, bloody and running away from them — or to them. Has this group that we’ve known from the beginning actually found a safe haven? It seems like it, but with Rick, Carol, etc., comes hoards of zombies. Hundreds of them, against people who don’t know how to defend themselves.
There are only a few more shows left to premiere during the Fall TV 2015 season!
What are you looking forward to watching?
