August TV preview: Ahsoka, Only Murders In The Building, and 22 more shows to watch

The TV calendar heats up in August, with returning shows like breakout hits Only Murders In The Building, Heartstopper, and Reservation Dogs, along with newbies such as a star-studded Netflix drama on the opioid crisis. (Hulu’s Dopesick in 2021 was apparently just the start.). And that’s just the tip of the iceberg: Get ready for plenty of animated shows, a Sigourney Weaver-led limited series, and, crucially, yet another Star Wars show, the Rosario Dawson-led Ahsoka. To help break down all of that and much more, here is The A.V. Club’s guide to the notable series arriving next month.

Note: FX’s A Murder At The End Of The World, from series creator Brit Marling, was slated to premiere on August 29. It’s now moved to November.

Reservation Dogs season three (FX, August 2)

The absurd, thoughtful, wholly original comedy is back for one more go, with a third and final season that centers on the show’s crew of Elora (Devery Jacobs), Willie Jack (Paulina Alexis), Bear (D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai), and Cheese (Lane Factor) after their trip to California. The was a marvel, so we have high hopes this send-off delivers as well. (And be sure to keep up with Manuel Betancourt’s recaps throughout the season.) [Tim Lowery]
