With the increased surge in COVID cases still raging in the US, movie theaters have yet to open and original start dates for movies continue to be postponed. Marvel’s Black Widow which was slated to open in May has been pushed back to November(and could be pushed back again). Christopher Nolan’s mind-bender thriller, Tenet, was supposed to open this month and it too has been postponed until Spring 2021. Marvel has also pushed back all of their Phase Four movies.
With that said, all is not lost. There are some highly anticipated TV series either debuting or returning this fall. Here are just a few:
