FALL 2023 TV SURVEY: 30 MOST ANTICIPATED RETURNING SHOWS
For Rotten Tomatoes’ annual Fall TV Survey, we asked our users what they’re most looking forward to in the coming TV season and to reflect on the best shows from seasons past. Over 1,000 of them got back to us with their picks for fall.
We asked Rotten Tomatoes users which returning shows they are most looking forward to this strike-hobbled fall TV season. Readers were allowed more than one vote — since really, who can pick just one?
American Horror Story took the top spot in last year’s survey — and ended up with a 71% Tomatometer score for the season and a 40% Audience Score. This year, Ryan Murphy’s long-running FX anthology horror series contends with Disney+ and Marvel Studios’ Loki, which thoroughly dominated the category with just shy of 50 percent of the vote. By comparison, the next title on the list, Prime Video’s Reacher, had 23 percent of the vote and American Horror Story: Delicate had around 18 percent of the vote.
We’re expecting titles like The Crown season 6 to arrive this season, but the Netflix historical drama couldn’t bother to RSVP for this particular party, and in this time of strikes and new Covid variants, we weren’t going to impose our expectations on it. (Netflix UK & Ireland has since confirmed it for this year.) Vote for The Crown in our poll of most anticipated just announced and expected titles if you want to show it, Rick and Morty, or other latecomers some love.
Read on to find out all of Rotten Tomatoes users’ most anticipated returning series.
