Does fall TV for you, like me, mean fighting off the urge to rewatch Gilmore Girls for the umpteenth time?
Or are you excited for something new? Maybe something set here in Los Angeles rather than Stars Hollow?
If so, step into the fictional Los Angeles of the 2025 fall TV season, where Tim Meadows works at the DMV and Glenn Close and Kim Kardashian are high-powered divorce lawyers:
DMV (Oct. 13, CBS and Paramount+)
The cast of “DMV” includes (L-R): Molly Kearney, Gigi Zumbado, Tony Cavaleiro, Alex Tarrant, Harriet Dyer and Tim Meadows.

This single-camera workplace comedy coming to CBS is set at a fictional East Hollywood DMV office where, according to the network’s show description, “our quirky and lovable characters are making minimum wage doing a thankless job where customers are annoyed before they even walk in the door. Good thing they have each other.”
DMV is based on a short story called “Chicken-Flavored and Lemon Scented” from author Katherine Heiny’s book Games and Rituals which centers on a DMV worker named Colette, who pines after her charismatic coworker, Alejandro. In the series, Harriet Dyer plays Colette and Alex Tarrant plays Alejandro.
The cast also includes two SNL alums — Tim Meadows as Gregg, a former English teacher turned driving test examiner, and comedian Molly Kearney as Barbara, a newly promoted manager.
All’s Fair (Hulu)

The big attention grabber for the new Hulu series All’s Fair, written and executive produced by Ryan Murphy, is the big-name cast that includes Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts and Teyana Taylor.
The women (minus Paulson) play a team of divorce attorneys in L.A. who strike out on their own after leaving a male-dominated firm.
And if the trailer and show description are any indication, they also bring the drama: “Fierce, brilliant and emotionally complicated, they navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets and shifting allegiances — both in the courtroom and within their own ranks.”
Wonder Man (December, Disney+)

Maybe because it’s Marvel, maybe because it’s not out until December (still technically fall until Dec. 21), or maybe because of both, there isn’t too much official information out there yet about this new series from Marvel and Disney+.
According to the IMDb description, the show is about “Hollywood actor Simon Williams [who] is thrust into the world of superheroes as he gets powers of his own, and becomes the new superhero Wonder Man.”
Yahya Abul-Mateen stars as Simon Willams, and Ben Kingsley plays Trevor Slattery, reprising his role from 2013’s Iron Man 3, the 2014 Marvel short film All Hail the King and 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
While a full trailer isn’t out yet, there’s a glimpse of the series about a minute in to this sneak peek at Marvel Studios content coming to Disney+ in 2025.
Another even briefer glimpse at the show, but one that appears to show a moment from Willams’ transformation into Wonder Man, is included in this Disney+ and Hulu preview video from July.
Bonus: Nobody Wants This (Oct. 23, Netflix)
Kristen Bell as Joanne in episode 209 of “Nobody Wants This.”
Not a new show, but one returning for a second season, the rom-com Nobody Wants This is set in L.A. and shoots on location in various neighborhoods, including Hollywood, Eagle Rock, Silver Lake and Sherman Oaks.
This season, Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) are back, along with some new guest stars, including Brody’s real-life wife, Leighton Meester, who guest-stars as Joanne’s former middle school nemesis.
