The TV calendar heats up in August, with returning shows like breakout hits Only Murders In The Building, Heartstopper, and Reservation Dogs, along with newbies such as a star-studded Netflix drama on the opioid crisis. (Hulu’s Dopesick in 2021 was apparently just the start.). And that’s just the tip of the iceberg: Get ready for plenty of animated shows, a Sigourney Weaver-led limited series, and, crucially, yet another Star Wars show, the Rosario Dawson-led Ahsoka. To help break down all of that and much more, here is The A.V. Club’s guide to the notable series arriving next month.
Note: FX’s A Murder At The End Of The World, from series creator Brit Marling, was slated to premiere on August 29. It’s now moved to November.
