Upcoming TV Series and Season Premieres, TV Movies, and Specials: The Complete List of New Premieres Airing Soon

The following is a list of all upcoming TV premiere dates including new series and season premieres, original movies and documentaries, specials, and more. As you may know, I used to do monthly lists of TV premieres. This post is a replacement for those posts and it should actually be an upgrade over them (as it will cover all upcoming TV premiere dates instead of just the ones for the next month). This also means you can bookmark this page as it will always be the place to find the latest TV premiere dates (instead of a separate post each month). I will try to keep this post as updated as possible but if you notice I am missing a TV premiere on this list, feel free to let me know in the comments section and I will make sure to add it. For day-to-day TV listings of all new episodes airing, check out our Daily TV Schedules posts.

All times are listed in Eastern/Pacific time and then Central/Mountain time.

To search for a specific series, movie, or special press CTRL + F at the same time and then start typing in the name of the show you are looking for. You can also use this to search for a type of release (all series premieres, original TV movies, etc.) or network (Netflix, NBC, etc.) as well.
