Abbott Elementary (Season 6)
The pride of Philadelphia's underfunded school system is back, and it remains one of the most reliable joys on television. The warm, witty, and wonderful mockumentary continues to find new ways to explore the hilarious and heartwarming dynamics of its
beloved teaching staff. After five seasons, the chemistry between the cast is electric, turning even simple plotlines into comedy gold. Expect more of Janine's well-intentioned fumbles, Gregory's deadpan stares, and Ava's scene-stealing chaos. It’s the perfect comfort-food comedy that also happens to be brilliantly written. The new season kicks off on ABC.
St. Denis Medical (Season 3)
If you miss the fast-paced, slightly-unhinged workplace energy of classic sitcoms, 'St. Denis Medical' is your prescription. Set in an underfunded Oregon hospital, the show follows the doctors and nurses trying to keep it together. Think 'Scrubs' meets 'Superstore,' with a healthy dose of gallows humor. The ensemble cast, led by Wendi McLendon-Covey, has truly hit its stride. Season 3 promises to delve even deeper into the absurdities of the American healthcare system while never losing its comedic footing. It’s a sharp, joke-dense show that rewards repeat viewings, returning this fall on NBC.
Dang!
For those who like their comedy animated and their humor a bit more adult, Netflix's 'Dang!' is the buzziest new entry of the season. From a powerhouse creative team including producers from 'Hacks' and 'The Good Place,' this show comes with a stellar pedigree. The series follows a New York City brother-sister duo whose carefree lives are upended by the return of their overachieving older sister. With a voice cast led by Stephanie Hsu ('Everything Everywhere All at Once'), 'Dang!' promises a fresh, modern take on sibling rivalry and the anxieties of finding your place in the world. It’s poised to be the next animated hit you won't want to miss.
Happy's Place (Season 3)
Sometimes you just want a classic, multi-camera sitcom with a live studio audience and Reba McEntire. 'Happy's Place' delivers exactly that. McEntire stars as a woman who inherits her father's bar, only to discover she has to share it with a millennial half-sister she never knew existed. It’s an old-school premise that works thanks to McEntire's legendary comedic timing and the surprisingly sweet chemistry she shares with co-star Belissa Escobedo. It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel, and that’s its strength. It’s a dependable, 22-minute dose of laughter airing on NBC.
Call My Agent! The Movie
If you prefer your comedy with a bit of international flair, the long-awaited movie sequel to the beloved French series 'Call My Agent!' is finally here. Dropping on Netflix, this feature-length special picks up five years after the show’s finale. The film follows the ever-dramatic lives of the Parisian talent agents, with all the original cast members returning. The series was famous for its witty dialogue, chaotic energy, and incredible celebrity cameos (this time featuring George Clooney), and the movie promises more of the same. It's a sophisticated, hilarious treat for fans and a great entry point for newcomers.
