21 TV Shows to Watch in November and December
In the gallery above, our editors have selected the most interesting TV shows (including TV movies and specials) debuting during the final months of 2019, listed in order by premiere date.
Series debuts November 1 on Apple TV+. The oddest of the four scripted (non-kids) shows debuting on launch day on Apple's inexplicably empty streaming service, Dickinson is a period teen dramedy with a modern sensibility. (Critics liken it to a CW series, though it has a very un-CW-like half-hour run time.) Hailee Steinfeld heads the cast as 19th century writer Emily Dickinson, while Jane Krakowski and Toby Huss also star. Created by Alena Smith (a writer on The Newsroom and The Affair), the series is produced by David Gordon Green, who also directs. How modern is it? Wiz Khalifa plays Death in one episode. (Also on board: John Mulaney, who plays Henry David Thoreau.) Note that while most Apple shows will stream weekly, the entire eight-episode first season of Dickinson will be available immediately at launch. Production on a second season is already underway.
