Not only does the fall season symbolize back-to-school, it also means the return of some of your favorite TV shows (and hopefully some brand-new ones for your DVR). While we can’t wait for Scandal, Sleepy Hollow and Resurrection to return with fresh episodes, all new shows—including Black-ish starring Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross, and writer-director Shonda Rhimes’s much-anticipated series How to Get Away With Murder starring Viola Davis—will hopefully have us setting those TiVos.

Here’s a look at some of the best shows to come for Fall 2014; there’s really something for everyone.

Boardwalk Empire

Entering its fifth and final season, the bootlegger drama follows Nucky Thompson (played by Steve Buscemi) as he continues to navigate the hostile Atlantic City underworld. This season will jump forward seven years to 1931—smack dab in the middle of the Great Depression.

If you haven’t seen the show it’s worth going back to watch, especially for the stellar performances by Michael Kenneth Williams (who stars as Albert “Chalky” White, the “mayor” of Atlantic City’s African-American community), Jeffrey Wright (who plays Dr. Valentin Narcisse, a Harlem-based gangster) and Margot Bingham.

Premieres Sept. 7 at 9:00 p.m. on HBO.

New Girl

Taking a modern look at friendship and romance, ensemble comedy New Girl begins its fourth season, continuing to follow a group of six friends, their somewhat interconnected romantic exploits and their often hilariously misguided attempts to find their respective places in the world. As last season ended, Winston (Lamorne Morris) passed his entrance exam on his way to becoming a police officer, and Coach (Damon Wayans Jr.) was adjusting to life as a grade school gym teacher. Check out the season premiere Sept. 16 at 9:00 p.m. ET on FOX.

The Mysteries of Laura

A New York City detective juggles her busy job with a hectic home life as the mom of twin boys. Based on the Spanish series Los Misterios de Laura. Laz Alonso (Jumping the Broom, Just Wright) plays Detective Billy Soto in this cop dramedy. Premieres Sept. 17 at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC.

Red Band Society

This one’s another dramedy, set in a Los Angeles hospital’s pediatric ward where teen patients deal with life-threatening illnesses and bond over their experiences. A remake of the Spanish series, Polseres Vermelles. Oscar winner Octavia Spencer (The Help) is the no-holds-barred yet loveable Nurse Jackson, and young star Astro (yep, the kid from the singing show The X Factor) plays Dash, who suffers from cystic fibrosis but refuses to accept defeat. Watch the premiere Sept. 17 at 9:00 p.m. ET on FOX.

Sleepy Hollow

Black-ish

Andre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) has a great career, a fabulous house and a loving family. But as a Black man with “all this success, sometimes I feel like an oddity,” he says in the show trailer. In order to “make it,” do we have to drop a little of our culture? That’s the question Black-ish tackles every week… with a big dose of humor, of course.

How far does it go? When son Andre Jr. wants a bar mitzvah, Dad throws him an African rites of passage ceremony for his 13th birthday. The compromise? A hip-hop “bro mitzvah.” Anderson and Laurence Fishburne (who plays the granddad, Pops) are co-executive producers of the show, which also stars Tracee Ellis Ross and some of the cutest kids TV has seen since The Cosby Show. Premieres Sept. 24 at 9:30 p.m. ET on ABC.

Grey’s Anatomy

Since 2005, the doctors at the Seattle teaching hospital have been trying to hone their bedside manners on and off the job in this medical drama.

Executive producer Shonda Rhimes has Thursday nights on lockdown with three hour-long, powerhouse shows, beginning with this one. The season 11 premiere airs Sept. 25 at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC.

Scandal

Gladiators ready? When we last saw Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington), who has dedicated her life to protecting and defending public images, it seemed she needed the most fixing of all.
