10 October TV Premieres You Won’t Want to Miss

October is almost here, meaning the fall TV season is under way with still many television shows left to make their highly anticipated return or to air their first episodes ever.

With so many shows coming and going on broadcast, cable and streaming services it can be hard to keep track of what you should be tuning in for.

From fan-favorite series returning with landmark episodes, to new and spooky television series hoping to find you in the Halloween spirit, take a look at the TV show returns and premieres you absolutely cannot miss.

The fan-favorite CBS crime procedural left fans in shock in the spring after a massive cliffhanger left Spencer Reid deciding whether to save the life of Penelope Garcia or stopping a dangerous cult leader from escaping custody.

In the series premiere, which also marks the show’s 300th episode, the cliffhanger will be resolved likely with some serious drama; and we can expect some special guest starts help the show celebrate the special occasion.
