September is often the month with new beginnings or comebacks. Kids are starting or returning to school, a new season will begin at the end of the months and television shows will either be making their debut or begin a new season. With so much happening in this month alone it can be hard to figure out what to watch. Here is a look at some of the newest shows and returning favorites premiering this month, as well as what audiences can expect this season.
Mayans MC. For those who loved the FX drama Sons of Anarchy they have been looking forward to the spin-off for a long time. Staring J.D Pardo, Sarah Bolger, Michael Irby and Richard Cabral the show follows EZ Reyes as he seeks to carve out his own path after spending time in jail. If the characters on here are anything like those audiences came to love on Sons of Anarchy the show may last for a long time. The show begins on Sept. 4 on FX.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. One of the longest running live action comedies on television, the FXX show about friends with shall we say unique personalities running an Irish Pub in the city of brotherly love returns for a 13th season with Charlie Day, Danny DeVito and Kaitlin Olson reprising their roles. Mindy Kaling will also be making guest appearances. With the show already renewed for a 14th season (which will tie it as the longest running live action comedies on television) fans are looking forward to more laughs from one of TV’s weirdest yet funniest groups. It will premiere on FXX on Sept. 5.
Kidding. Jim Carey’s return to television is filled with laughs and sadness. This Showtime show has Carey playing Jeff Piccirillo aka Mr. Pickles the host of a children’s television show (picture Mr. Rodgers put more puppets). However when his personal life begins to crack so does Jeff’s sanity. Also staring Judy Greer, Catherine Keener and Frank Langella this show appears to be hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time. It will premiere on Showtime on Sept. 9.

Staring Jay Hernandez, Perdita Weeks, Zachary Knighton and Tim Kang the show follows a private investigator as he and his team solves cases on the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. If the show is similar to its predecessor, then much like other 80’s reboots CBS has done or are planning it should do just fine. The show will premiere on Sept. 24.
Manifest. This new show on NBC has already gotten interest of fans with its strange concept. Staring Josh Dallas, Melissa Roxburgh and J.R.

Lethal Weapon. With so much behind the scenes drama it will be interesting to see if fans take to the third season on this Fox comedy/drama. Damon Waynes returns while Seann William Scott replacing Clayne Crawford as his new partner.

NCIS: Los Angeles. To say the show had an explosive season finale would be an understatement. With a missile destroying the team’s vehicle, fans will be on the edge of their seat to find out if their favorite character survived. The show will begin again on Sept. 30.
NCIS: New Orleans. After a season full of conspiracies, agents leaving and shootings the show is not even close to stopping. With Dwayne Pride (Scott Bakula) on the verge of death at the end of last season his team is gonna have to work fast to save him. The show will be back on sept. 25.
