Supergirl (Sunday, Oct. 6 on The CW)
Showrunners Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller tell us this is Supergirl's "Black Mirror season."
"We will be exploring how technology is changing the fabric of human life as people hide behind their devices and escape into virtual worlds rather than facing issues head on," they said, and we can't forget about Lena, who just discovered Kara's identity. "The journey of whether their friendship can recover will be compelling and emotional."
Plus, Julie Gonzalo and Staz Nair join the show. (Also, Supergirl has pants now!)
Supernatural (Thursday, Oct. 10 on The CW)
The Winchesters are back for one last ride, and they're inviting back faces from their past after the finale revived old foes and turned God into the big bad. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles confirmed to us that anybody could come back, and Misha Collins said the season will have "a lot of energy and its own arc," while also being poignant and cathartic. "We are fighting God, and we are fighting ourselves," he said. And we're already crying.
This Is Us (Tuesday, Sept. 24 on NBC)
What to expect: The saga of the Pearson family continues, with more trips to the past and future and an even bigger world. New cast members include Jennifer Morrison, Omar Epps and Nick Wechsler.
