How to Get Away with Murder

At the end of last season, Oliver hid Connor's acceptance letter from Stanford and then pretended to be him to officially reject the offer. If this isn't the shadiest couple on TV we don't know who is.

September 22 on ABC

Transparent

The theme of the Emmy-winning series' third season is "come out of your shell," says Transparent writer Our Lady J. The new season will include a flashback with a 12-year-old Maura Pfefferman struggling with her gender identity, as well as an appearance by Caitlyn Jenner.

Supergirl

Kara Zor-El soars to the CW for the Greg Berlanti-produced show's second season, which promises the addition of openly gay cop Maggie Sawyer, lesbian caped crusader Batwoman and Lynda flippin' Carter as the president of the United States.

Divorce

Sarah Jessica Parker trades in Manolos for a minivan in this new HBO comedy that sees her as a middle-aged mom who's marriage has come to an end. The supporting cast—Molly Shannon, Thomas Hayden Church—is promising, but we were sold on the line "You are gonna get cockfucked on this, Robert!"

The Real O'Neals

ABC

The biggest drama on this midseason replacement comedy happened off-camera, when star Noah Galvin went OFF on Colton Haynes, Bryan Singer and closeted actors in Hollywood. What's in store for Season 2? We don't know, but if producers were smart, they'd cast Haynes as the closeted captain of the football team.

October 16 on USA.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Rachel Bunch ditched her successful New York life to pursue her summer-camp crush in Girlfriend's premiere episode—honestly, not a setup that screams must-see TV. But in its debut season, the show has given us surprising depth, not to mention awesome musical numbers, a "both-sexual" boss and adorable out actor Vincent Rodriguez as that summer-camp crush, Josh Chan.

October 21 on the CW

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

Lorelai, Rory and the denizens of Stars Hollow return in a quartet of 90-minute movies, one for each season of the year. Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino confirmed the Netflix series will fill us in on the girls' loves lives, but actor Yanic Truesdale revealed we'll learn more about the personal life of surly concierge Michel. Finally we'll get the answer to the question that's plagued us for years: "Is he gay or just French?"

Nashville

While the Music City drama doesn't make the leap from ABC to CMT until January, it's already on our calendar. Chris Carmack will return as out singer Will Lexington, and last week we reported Jen Richards will join the cast as the show's first trans character.
