fall premiere

September series launch

The fall premiere is the first episode of a television series' new season, typically airing in September or October when American broadcast networks launch their main programming slate.

The term reflects the traditional television calendar, where new seasons debut in fall and run through spring: I can't wait for the fall premiere of my favorite show.

By extension, fall premiere season refers to the concentrated period when multiple shows return with new episodes.
