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 4 on HBO. Will HBO's latest fantasy series fill the Iron Throne-shaped hole in your TV heart? A co-production with the BBC that has already been renewed for a second season, His Dark Materials marks the second major attempt to adapt Philip Pullman's fantasy book trilogy known for its exploration of weighty themes (including, controversially, religion) and talking animal daemons, following a poorly received 2007 feature film, The Golden Compass.
That same book (along with a bit of material from Pullman's recently launched prequel trilogy The Book of Dust) serves as the underlying story for this ambitious eight-episode first season, which comes from Jack Thorne (The Fades, This Is England) and director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech, Cats). Dafne Keen (Logan), Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Clarke Peters head the cast. Early reviews are decent but less than spectacular.
