I’ve said it a thousand times, but this is my favorite time of year. I love to settle in to cooler days with comfy clothes, blankets and a cup of hot chocolate. It feels indulgent and homey—even in the midst of a pandemic.
While I’m enjoying reading more books than ever and keeping up with crafts, I’m planning on rewatching some fall favorites. Yes, I know that the internet is teeming with plenty of shows I’ve never seen before, some of which I’d probably love, but we’re in the golden age of the rewatch.
Rewatching favorite shows is soothing and a great shortcut to self-care. Here are the shows I’ll be unwinding with over the next few months. If you haven’t seen them, start now! If you have, give them another go!
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
It seems like episodes of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina drop in the springtime. I diligently save them for the fall. Because I’ve got more sitting around time than ever, I’m planning on rewatching some episodes before enjoying the latest.
Where to watch: Netflix
Schitt’s Creek
OK, I wouldn’t say that Schitt’s Creek is a fall show, but the last season is dropping on Netflix this October. It’s a great time to relive the best Moira Rose moments in anticipation of season six.
Where to watch: Netflix
Twin Peaks
To me, Twin Peaks is the perfect fall show. The Pacific-Northwest setting, the Great Northern’s lodge-like feel, small-town diners, Audrey Horne’s wardrobe—it’s all autumnal perfection. Also is Agent Dale Cooper the perfect man?
Where to watch: Netflix or Hulu
What We Do in the Shadows
Funny and spooky? Yes, please! What We Do in the Shadows follows the lives of suburban vampires and I cackle just thinking of some of the episodes. Hearing Nandor the Relentless explain his title (“They would call me Nandor the relentless because I would never relent”) gets me every time.
Where to watch: Hulu or FX

There are so many good scary shows out there, though. I don’t have time for them all, but here are a few more of my favorites:
- Bates Motel on Netflix
- Castle Rock on Hulu
- Hannibal on Netflix
- The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix
- Murder Maps on Netflix
- Scream Queens (just the first season) on Hulu
And if you’re not ready to give into fall (why not!), I suggest Alta Mar on Netflix. A Spanish murder mystery show set on a ship in the 1950s. Very summer but also moody.
