Fall TV 2026 Preview: Kit Harington, 'DWTS' Crossovers, And Serial Killer Scares Hit Screens
From period dramas to ballroom twists, autumn television is serving up serious heat across networks and streaming apps.
By Nina BrooksPublished Updated 2 min read
Get ready to clear your streaming queues because autumn screen time is about to get seriously intense. Television networks and streaming platforms are unleashing a packed lineup of high-profile premieres, dramatic returns, and unexpected network mashups. Leading the wave of prestige drama is MGM+ with its four-part adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel *A Tale of Two Cities*, arriving on September 6. Former *Game of Thrones* icon Kit Harington stars opposite François Civil in the French Revolution epic. The duo play two men who share a striking physical resemblance but starkly contrasting spirits, becoming hopelessly intertwined when they both fall for the exact same woman, played by Mirren Mack.
When does Dancing With the Stars Season 35 premiere Reality competition fans have plenty to celebrate as ABC revs up *Dancing With the Stars* for its landmark 35th season. The upcoming premiere brings an exciting structural shakeup over two nights. The first broadcast puts the male celebrities front and center, with each star taking the ballroom floor to perform a routine set to a number-one hit song from their birth year. The female stars will take over the stage the following evening for their own spotlight debuts. Adding even more ballroom flavor to the broadcast schedule, the ABC crime drama *R.J. Decker* is launching its second season on September 15 with a surprise *Dancing With the Stars* crossover. It seems network programmers are eager to bring some ballroom glitz into the scripted drama world right off the bat.
What horror shows are coming to TV this fall On the creepier side of the television spectrum, horror enthusiasts can mark September 15 on their calendars. Shudder and AMC+ are dropping the third season of *The Creep Tapes*, where Mark Duplass continues his run as a socially awkward, deeply unsettling serial killer. The anthology series opens up even more terrifying footage from the killer's secret stash. Between period romances, ballroom competitions, and horror anthologies—plus returning favorites like *Tracker* and *Line of Fire*—there is virtually no downtime on the small screen this season.
