Where to Watch New Shows this Fall? 

The latest fall TV shows premiere on popular streaming networks, such as Netflix, Apple TV, Disney+, Fox, and Peacock. Meanwhile, you can watch upcoming movies this fall in theaters. If you can’t make it to the big screen, most of the shows will stream online at a later date. 

We’ve listed the streaming network where you can watch all the best TV shows and movies coming out this fall. Some of the streaming services might not be available where you are. For example, HBO Max is exclusive to US residents, which means you can’t watch House of Dragons if you’re in Asia.  

In such cases, I suggest using ClearVPN to bypass geo-restriction and watch new shows this fall. ClearVPN allows you to stream geo-restricted content easily. For example, Forbes reviewers use the ‘Watch Netflix US’ shortcut to stream movies. 

With that, nothing will stop you from hundreds of hours of entertainment this fall.
