season premieres

New episodes launch

Season premieres are the first episodes of a television series' new season, typically airing after a months-long hiatus.

Networks promote them heavily and schedule them strategically, often in September for fall lineups.

The season premiere picks up right where the finale left off.

Premieres frequently draw higher ratings than regular episodes.
