All American (Monday, Oct. 7 on The CW)

What's a football star to do? Spencer (Daniel Ezra) has to choose between staying in Beverly Hills or following his dad back to South Crenshaw. Plus, Billy (Taye Diggs) appears to have just quit teaching at Beverly, and he might be the father of Spencer's little brother.

"It gets really wild, and we go to some pretty dark places, which is what I was looking forward to," Ezra told us of the season to come.

Get a better look at season two with our exclusive trailer.

Arrow (Tuesday, Oct. 15 on The CW)

All you have to do is look at this photo of Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Tommy (Colin Donnell) to know that some crazy things are going down in this 10-episode final season, after Oliver took off with the Monitor. Even Moira Queen is back!

Amell tells us that "every episode is kind of an event," and that while this year's epic crossover officially starts in episode eight of Arrow, it really started in the season seven finale.

Black-ish (Tuesday, Sept. 24 on ABC)

After a summer of change (including the birth of a spinoff), the Johnsons have a new engagement to deal with when Pops (Laurence Fishburne) reveals he's getting married. Junior also has a new job doing social media for Migos and honestly the kids in this family are way too cool.

Not so much with Mixed-ish, but maaaaybe we could see young Dre someday.

We last saw Red (James Spader) meet up with the legendary and presumed dead Katarina Rostova (Laila Robbins) before she kissed him, sedated him, and left him on the ground to be picked up by a mysterious van.

Chicago PD (Wednesday, Sept. 25 on NBC)

Suspicions turn to Voight and tensions rise in the Intelligence Unit after Kelton's murder. "With the Intelligence team down a couple of members, we have the opportunity to shuffle some of the usual partnerships around and I think viewers will enjoy the new dynamic," Rick Eid told us. "This season we also welcome a talented roster of reoccurring guest stars in the first few episodes, including Paul Adelstein, Lisseth Chavez and Michael Beach."

The Flash (Tuesday, Oct. 8 on The CW)

New showrunner Eric Wallace tells us the premiere picks up "mere seconds" after Barry and Iris lost Nora, leaving them to deal with a new disaster while they're still mourning. "As season six continues, this leads to an even larger dilemma for Barry. Because he'll also have the threat of the approaching Crisis on Infinite Earths looming over him while he attempts to take down this year's big villain, a dark foe who is his most terrifying adversary yet."

The Good Place (Thursday, Sept. 26 on NBC)

All good things must come to an end, and what an end we're in for. D'Arcy Carden calls it "an adventure of a season" on the way to the end, with lots of romance, according to William Jackson Harper. Eleanor's now in charge of the Good Place experiment, Chidi's memory of their entire love story is now wiped, and the new residents are not going to be easy to turn into good people. "This is really [Eleanor] putting everything on the line and saying I gotta step up and be a leader here and make this experiment work," Kristen Bell tells us.

Riverdale (Wednesday, Oct. 9 on The CW)

Riverdale's premiere will be dedicated to Luke Perry and his character, Fred Andrews, as the show finally addresses Perry's death, which happened in March with three episodes of season three left to film.

Don't, however, expect to get all the answers about that spring break flashforward, other than the fact that Jughead is MISSING in the trailer we debuted exclusively.

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.
