Hollywood has experienced a significant disruption recently, with the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and SAG-AFTRA strikes leaving a noticeable gap in the entertainment industry. This has resulted in a major reshuffle of the 2023 fall TV schedule, as many beloved scripted series were unable to film new seasons. Consequently, fans can expect delays that could stretch into mid-season 2024 or possibly even longer! It's a time of uncertainty for viewers, but as the strikes have concluded, networks are slowly rolling out new premiere dates.
The fallout from the strikes has been profound, creating significant voids in the fall TV lineup. In the past few months, networks have been busy adjusting their schedules and announcing new premiere dates as productions start to resume. Now that the writers have secured new contracts, audiences can look forward to the return of late-night shows and the introduction of new series that have been eagerly anticipated.
As we dive into the fall TV schedule for 2023, it's essential to keep track of the latest updates. HollywoodLife has curated a comprehensive guide detailing the premiere dates for new shows and returning favorites. From late-night talk shows to the highly anticipated new season of The Kardashians, we aim to keep you informed about what to expect in the coming months!
