The Best Shows Coming Out in Fall 2022

This year has been a traumatic time for fans of streaming. In April, Netflix announced a major drop in subscriptions, frightening skittish would-be investors throughout the industry. There's been a rash of cancellations ever since, exacerbated by the merger between HBOMax and Discovery+, which led them to announce that they were cutting back on more than 36 titles. Cliffhangers were left unfinished. Beloved characters never reached the conclusion they deserved, all for the sake of maintaining profits. Despite all of that, there's still a large slate of new shows coming in the fall, and though they will never make up for our losses, they may be enough to provide a distraction from our grief.

Wednesday Addams is a comedy horror that follows the fabled Addams family character as she navigates life as a high school student at Nevermore Academy. She struggles with her psychic powers and a string of killings in her town while trying to solve the supernatural mystery of what happened to her family 25 years ago. This highly anticipated adaptation comes after years of talks between different streaming services over how best to portray an older version of her character. It should prove entertaining for new fans of the franchise and old stans who never seemed to be able to get enough.
