As “Love Island” fever continues to sweep the summer, NBC and Peacock are keeping the momentum going with a stacked lineup of fresh series, thrilling finales, and returning fan favorites for Fall 2025. From chilling true crime to the highly anticipated finale of “Bel-Air”, there’s something for everyone across both platforms. Whether you’re looking to cozy up with weekly dramas or binge through gripping originals, here’s what’s coming your way.
1. “The Paper” (Peacock, September)
From the minds behind “The Office”, this new comedy docu-style series follows the film crew that once chronicled Dunder Mifflin. Now, they’ve found a new subject: a historic Midwestern newspaper and the eccentric publisher trying to save it. Starring Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, and more, this one’s got Emmy bait written all over it.
2. “All Her Fault” (Peacock, November)
Sarah Snook leads this psychological thriller based on the bestselling novel. When Marissa Irvine arrives to pick up her son from a playdate, a stranger answers the door—and has no idea who her son even is. Cue a nightmarish unraveling that also stars Dakota Fanning, Michael Peña, and Jake Lacy. It’s the must-watch mystery of the season.
3. Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy (Peacock, October)
True crime lovers, prepare yourselves. This chilling limited series dives deep into the twisted double life of one of America’s most infamous serial killers. Starring Michael Chernus, Gabriel Luna, and Chris Sullivan, the series weaves together survivor stories, investigative failures, and the societal blind spots that let Gacy go undetected for years.
4. “Bel-Air” (Peacock, November)
The Fresh Prince reimagining that helped redefine the reboot game is coming to an emotional close. Bel-Air will wrap its story this fall, bringing closure to Will’s journey from West Philly to the hills of Bel-Air. Expect high drama, powerful performances, and a finale fans won’t forget.
