My, how time flies. Here we are in the last quarter of 2023, and nothing is as we expected it would be.
With two strikes this year (one still in progress), our beloved fall content slate is eviscerated. The good news is that we’ve got a lot of unexpected broadcast shows, as well as cable and streaming shows beginning in October, so we still have a lot to share!
And being spooky season, we’ve also put together a full list of Halloween-related content for you in a special What to Watch dropping later this afternoon. We won’t leave you high and dry even if our regular content escapes us!

8/7c Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story (Lifetime)
Hallmark fans will be shocked to see Luke Macfarlane in a role we’ve never seen from him before as he crosses networks for an utterly wild and truly scandalous Ripped From the Headlines film as part of Lifetime’s True Crime slate.
MacFarlane costars with Criminal Minds’ Kirsten Vangsness in this shocking tale of Eli Weaver, an Amish man who gave into temptations of the flesh and technology when he posed as the “Amish Stud” on social media and dating sites and embarked on a series of affairs behind his wife’s back.
When he expresses a desire for his devoted Amish wife Barbara to be gone… permanently, he becomes the primary suspect when Barbara turns up dead! We’ll have you covered with a juicy review!
9/8c All Rise (OWN)
Carl Brewer’s murder trial has started, bringing more twists and turns, and favorite guest stars, including DDA Choi (Reggie Lee) and Lola’s rival, Corrine Cuthbert (the late Anne Heche).
If you love drama, you don’t want to miss the confrontation between Robin and Andre.
Emily introduces Luke to her dad, but her dad has other reasons for coming to town.
Judge Lola is not the one to mess with and she is making that very clear! #AllRise pic.twitter.com/IBbJrPLCUK

Fair Play (Netflix)
This movie’s got quite a bit of buzz surrounding it.
The premise? An unexpected promotion at a cutthroat hedge fund pushes a young couple's relationship to the brink, threatening to unravel far more than their recent engagement.
Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton) and Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) star. Looks good, right?
Totally Killer (Prime Video)
Horror fans should get excited about this exclusive new flick with a fun concept and a great cast!
The infamous Sweet Sixteen Killer returns on Halloween night 35 years after murdering three teenagers and searches for a new victim.
Enter Jamie, a 17-year-old who comes face to face with the killer only to end up time-traveling three and half decades back. What does she do? Team up with her teenage mom in 1987 to take down this psycho while trying to adjust to a totally different timeline and 80s culture! Sounds rad, yes?
Pet Semetary: Bloodlines (Paramount+)
Oooh! We love October.
In this prequel to Pet Semetery, in 1969, a young Jud Crandall is set to leave his hometown of Ludlow, Maine, in search of his life’s purpose.
Before he makes it out, however, Jud and his childhood friends encounter an ancient evil that has gripped Ludlow since its founding.
Yes, please!
V/H/S 85 (Shudder/AMC+)
This is the franchise that keeps on giving.
In the latest installment, the creators want you to experience harrowing tales of found footage horror that pull you into the 1980s with V/H/S/85.
Raw fear awaits you… they say. Hey, we’ll give it a whirl!
8/7c Power Book IV: Force (Starz)
Have you recovered from that shocking Power Book IV: Force Season 2 midseason finale yet?
Yeah, neither have we. But we’ll have to soldier on, just like everyone else in Force land, and deal with the fallout from a few shocking deaths.
While Diamond looks to bring Jenard back home, Vic will be in his snitch era as he begins his quest to help the FEDs.
9/8c A Zest for Death: A Hannah Swensen Mystery (HMM)
House hunting takes an unexpected turn with the discovery of an undesirable feature – a dead body.
