Fall brings colder weather, sweaters, pumpkin-flavored treats, and new television shows to binge-watch. Historically, TV networks used the autumn season to launch their new programming because it coincided with big advertising agencies spending schedules after a slow summer of reruns. Today, thanks to cable TV and streaming, the rules have altered, but the fall still maintains its dominanceespecially since audiences have been so well trained. Although the 2025 fall television lineup is drama-heavy, there’s still a little something for everyone. Many well-loved universes, such as Stephen Kings It, are expanding yet again, and Netflix’s enduringly popular Stranger Things is concluding. From documentaries to comedies to familiar procedural dramas, let’s take a deeper look at some of this autumns television offerings. Comedies For those who want to laugh, streamers Peacock and Hulu have your back. The former is presenting The Paper, a mockumentary spin-off of The Office starring Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore. Oscar Nuez is also reprising his role as Oscar Martinez. Twenty years later, the same documentary crew that followed Dunder Mifflin employees around has turned its focus on the Toledo Truth Teller. This Midwest newspaper is trying to make a comeback in a struggling industry. All 10 episodes of the first season were dropped on Peacock on September 4. Hulus offering is Chad Powers, starring Glen Powell in the title role. The series was inspired by Eli Manning, who went undercover at Penn State’s football tryouts. Powell took the idea and ran with it, creating the character Russ Holliday, whose bad behavior compromised his college football career. He decides to use the alias Chad Powers to get back into the game. This sitcom will premiere on the streamer on Tuesday, September 30. Documentaries For those who want to learn, PBS has long been a source of education. This fall is no exception, although the future beyond that is uncertain. Kissinger, a two-part documentary series directed by Barak Goodman, premieres on October 27 and 28 as part of the American Experience roster. It centers on the complicated legacy of Henry Kissinger, former secretary of state and national security adviser under Presidents Nixon and Ford. The American Revolution, directed by Ken Burns, focuses on our country’s beginnings. This six-part series precedes the approaching 250th anniversary of the historic event. The series premieres on November 16. It is important to note that future PBS documentaries are in jeopardy because of the loss of federal funding. Some new drama out of something old Given the current volatile state of the industry, it is a safealbeit sometimes uninspiredcreative choice to use existing intellectual property to lure audiences in. Many networks and streamers have chosen to take this route in fall 2025. (Technically, The Paper falls into this category.) Procedural drama fans will love new versions of Law & Order and 9-1-1. Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent premiered on Wednesday, September 24, on the CW. 9-1-1: Nashville hits the ABC airwaves on October 9 and stars Chris ODonnell, Jessica Capshaw, and LeAnn Rimes. CBS has two spin-offs this fall. Sheriff Country follows a character first seen in Fire Country; shes now a newly appointed small-town sheriff, played by Morena Baccarin. Boston Blue continues Danny Reagans story from Blue Bloods, but with a new beginning in Boston. Both premiere on October 17. Horror fans, get ready for some jump scares. The same creative team behind the recent It movies is doing a prequel series on HBO. Bill Skarsgrd is reprising his role as Pennywise the Clown in It: Welcome to Derry. In time for the Halloween holiday, this series premieres on October 26. Another HBO offering lives in the same universe as Mare of Easttown. Task follows FBI agent Tom Brandis, played by Mark Ruffalo, as he tries to put an end to escalating, violent robberies of drug houses. New dramas If you’re craving something new, Netflix dropped the thriller Black Rabbit on September 18. It stars Jude Law as Jake Friedken and Jason Bateman as Vince Friedken. The two brothers once owned a nighttime hot spot together, but Vinces complicated life took him away. When Jake lets him back in, everything gets chaotic, to say the least. Apple TV+s Pluribus is perfect for science fiction fans and is set to premiere on November 7. It was created by Vince Gilligan, who is best known for Breaking Bad. Carol Sturka, a tortured writer played by Rhea Seehorn, must save the world from an epidemic of happiness. FXs The Lowdown is equal parts dark comedy, crime drama, and neo-noir. Created by Sterlin Harjo, best known for Reservation Dogs, this series is loosely based on real-life citizen journalist and historian Lee Roy Chapman, who shed light on hard truths about the Tulsa Race Riots. Ethan Hawke stars as journalist Lee Raybon, who puts uncovering the truth ahead of his messy personal life. The first two episodes dropped on Hulu on September 25, and the remaining six will be released weekly. What if you could stop violence before it happens? This was the premise of a 2019 Cosmopolitan article about an impressive secret investigator. It is also the inspiration for the Apple TV+ series The Savant. Details around this series have been limited, but viewers do know that Jessica Chastain will play the title character and investigator whenever the series premieres. In the wake of the recent assignation of Charlie Kirk, Apple has decided to delay this release indefinitely. The final chapter of Stranger Things For Stranger Things fans, the 2025 fall tlevision season is bittersweet. Audiences want to know how the beloved Netflix series ends, but it is always hard to say goodbye. The final season consists of eight episodes that will be released in three parts. The first four drop on November 26. The following three will double as Christmas presents. The finale will finish out the year strong on New Year’s Eve. The action in Season 5 begins in 1987, about a year and a half after the preceding season. Vecna has unleashed destruction on Hawkins, Indiana, by opening multiple gates into the Upside Down. Now it is up to the gang to make things right.

It’s that time of year. Fall is around the corner, but it still feels like summer on some days. In an age of global warming, this transitional season is likely to stretch out longer than it did before. Designers are aware they need to create jackets and coats appropriate for this in-between season. The market is now full of good options beyond the outdoorsy puffer or fleece that will keep you at the right temperature. Many are designed to be good for both work and life, allowing you to look put-together for the office, but also relaxed enough for weekends. We’ve scoured the market for five coats that offer an additional layer, along with some style and polish, that we’ve tested for quality and fit. They’re each designed to keep you warm when temperatures dip as low as 0°F. We sought out pieces that look classic enough to become a closet staple for years to come. [Photo: AYR] The Perfect Trench Coat AYR, The Espionage, $695 Trench coats were made for weather like this, but there are so many on the market that it is hard to choose. Let us help you. This one from AYR hits all the notes. In keeping with the brand’s expertise, it fits beautifully, with thick cotton fabric that falls perfectly and a belt that accentuates your waist. The twill fabric is soft against your body, but it has a water-resistant finish that will be useful in a rain shower. It’s cut like a classic trench coat, with double breasted closure, a storm shield at the back, a gun flap on the front, and epaulettes at the shoulder, so it is not going to go out of style. It’s well worth the investment. [Photo: Sezane] A Jacket With Personality Sezane, Oscar Jacket, $330 If you’re looking for a layer of warmth and coziness that doesn’t look too relaxed, you’ll want Sezane’s Oscar Jacket. It’s made of a blend of wool and mohair so it is incredibly soft to the touch. But it is sure to elevate your outfit and give your look some personality. The jacket is carefully designed with elegant touches, like the contrasting fabric on the cuffs and slightly oversize cut. [Photo: Artizia] The Most Elegant Wool Coat Artizia, The Portfolio Coat, $350 Bulky layers can sometimes look casual. If you’re looking for a coat that will look sleek and polished, while keeping you warm, you’ll want to look at Aritizia’s Portfolio coat. It’s made of 98% recycled wool sourced from an Italian mill that has a double-faced construction, which makes both sides feel soft ad luxurious. It has a tailored silhouette, thanks to a waterfall collar and a wrap closure that can be styled with or without the belt. It will make you feel refined whether you’re wearing a power suit or jeans underneath. [Photo: Canada Goose] Office-Appropriate Swagger Canada Goose, Jade Bomber, $1,295 If your aesthetic tends toward streetwear, and your office is more casual, Canada Goose’s brand-new bomber style is worth considering. It’s inspired by old-school flight jackets, using a satin material with a glossy finish, and even has details like a pen pocket. It will elevate your everyday denim and T-shirt look, but given Canada Goose’s outerwear, it is also carefully designed to keep you at the right temperature. It contains down fill, along with ribbed cuffs for cold days. But when you feel warm, you can remove the sleeves and carry it using backpack straps. [Photo: Alex Mill] A Vintage-Inspired Find Alex Mill, Chiltern Street Jacket, $325 Alex Mill’s designers based the design of this preppy jacket on a vintage hunting jacket they found in a secondhand shop in Paris. It plays on some on some recent trends, from barn coats to field jackets, and is full of little details that make it functional. It has an elegant, structural cut that makes it look smart for the office, but also looks relaxed enough for the weekend. It is made of a waxed cotton that has the weight and texture of suede. It is fully lined for warmth, and even has lined handwarmer pockets. It’s ideal for fall days when the temperatures dip, but you’re not quite ready for your puffer coat.

As a small child in the 1980s, I tuned in weekly to see the hilarious antics of the Golden Girls. I loved seeing the friendship and support between the three 50-something housemates of Blanche (Rue McClanahan), Rose (Betty White), and Dorothy (Bea Arthur), while the affectionate bickering between Dorothy and her unfiltered 80-something mother Sophia (Estelle Getty) always struck me as mother-daughter relationship goals. While the show was ahead of its time in myriad ways, one important legacy it has given Generation X is a blueprint for adult communal living. Our generation understands what a Golden Girls retirement means, and we have all likely spent some happy hours daydreaming about our ideal cast of friends and family to share a wicker-and-pastel Miami home with. But co-living situations like those shared by the Golden Girls arent just the stuff of TV and daydreams. They can offer excellent benefits to adults both before and after retirement and are well worth exploring, no matter where you currently are in your career. Heres how embracing the Golden Girls lifestyle can offer you more stability and happiness. Housing costs In the world of The Golden Girls, the Miami house belongs to Blanche, and she initially advertises for two roommatesDorothy and Roseto help pay the mortgage. (Sophia comes to live with them after her retirement home burned down.) When the show debuted in September, 1985, the median home price in the United States was $84,700, and the median income for a single woman householder was $13,660. That median income for an individual was about 16% of the median home price. Considering these numbers, its understandable why Blanche, Dorothy, and Rose all needed each others help affording housing and other costs to live in Miami. As of the second quarter of 2025, the median home price in the U.S. is a staggering $512,800, while the median income for a single woman householder is $60,440or about 11.8% of the median home price. (The median income for a single man is significantly higher at $83,260). This sad reality of our current housing situation highlights one of the most obvious benefits of living like the Golden Girls. Pooling your resources can help you all better afford high housing costs and let your money go farther. Social support Whenever Dorothy gets frustrated with her mother, she jokingly threatens to send Sophia back to the Shady Pines retirement home. The audience knows that Dorothys threat has no teeth because Sophia was miserable at Shady Pines. The older woman was lonely there and did not have the social and emotional outlet among the other patients that she finds with her daughter and their friends in the Miami house. Theres a profound truth behind the jokes about Shady Pines. Human beings crave connection and companionship with each other, and we get pretty down when we dont have it. This is why loneliness and social isolation are serious problems for aging adults. More social interaction, recreation, and improved social supports have all been found to improve the mental health of lonely seniors. Health benefits The four Golden Girls experience various illnesses and health scares (including a truly groundbreaking episode where Rose must get tested for AIDS) throughout the series, and not every health problem can be fixed in a 22 minute episode. But the bond between these four friends is helpful when they are in poor health, since whoever is ill does not feel alone. Research has found that loneliness can exacerbate health problems, while a lack of social support can lead to self-medicating behavior or further self-isolation. Specifically, social isolation is linked to the following health problems: Anxiety Depression Heart disease Memory problems Cognitive decline Weakened immune function High blood pressure Dementia Death A living situation where you share space with people you like and want to spend time with can help protect your mental and physical health. Thats because you and your housemates can offer each other social and physical support when neededhelping you feel like part of a community. And if that includes the occasional midnight slice of cheesecake on the lanai, all the better. Thank you for being a friend Adopting a Golden Girls lifestyle has so much to recommend it, whether you wait to do so after you retire or gather your friends together right now. Sharing housing expenses will make your cost of living much cheaper and could also reduce other important expenses, such as food, transportation, and childcare. The social support offered by a Golden Girls style living situation can help improve both your mental and physical health, and be fun and rewarding, to boot. Now you just need to perfect your St. Olaf stories.
