With a presidential election on the horizon, just about every screen will be dominated by campaign coverage. When you’re ready for a palate cleanser, the fall TV season has plenty on offer.

I would be remiss for not mentioning that one of the best shows in recent memory isn’t premiering this fall; it just became available on Netflix and is probably new to most viewers. That would be AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire,” which is smart and funny and far better than any adaptation has a right to be. I don’t even like vampire stories, but here I am, in the bag for this one.

With that out of the way, here’s a snapshot of the coming weeks. It’s a fever dream of adaptations because Hollywood’s love affair with intellectual property continues unabated.

‘Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist’ (Sept. 5 on Peacock): Adapted from a true-crime podcast, the limited series tells the story of an armed robbery that took place on the night of Muhammad Ali’s 1970 comeback fight in Atlanta. It stars Kevin Hart as the hustler Chicken Man and Don Cheadle as the police detective assigned to the case.

‘Slow Horses’ (Sept. 4 on Apple TV+): The British spy series returns for Season 4 with an adaptation of Mick Herron’s “Spook Street,” which centers on Jonathan Pryce’s recurring character.

‘How to Die Alone’ (Sept. 13 on Hulu): Natasha Rothwell stars in this comedy as a millennial stuck in a miserable existence. A brush with death prompts her to start taking chances.

‘Three Women’ (Sept. 13 on Starz): The drama centers on the lives of three women, including a suburban housewife who begins an extramarital affair, an entrepreneur navigating an open marriage, and a student who accuses a teacher of an inappropriate relationship.

‘Moonflower Murders’ (Sept. 15 on PBS Masterpiece): A former book editor living in Greece and running a hotel (played by Lesley Manville) is drawn back into her old literary world when she is asked to figure out whether a novel about a murder is fact or fiction. The series is based on the book by Anthony Horowitz.

‘Agatha All Along’ (Sept. 18 on Disney+):Kathryn Hahn and her character’s long-gestating, witch- focused spinoff of “WandaVision” are finally here. The teaser suggests the Marvel show will be entirely different in tone and interests than its predecessor.

‘The Penguin’ (Sept. 19 on HBO): This eight-episode series from DC Studios puts Batman nemesis the Penguin front and center, played by Colin Farrell under layers of prosthetics. The premise is very Batman-saga-meets-the-Italian mob.

‘Frasier’ (Sept. 19 on Paramount+):Frasier Crane is back in the reboot’s Season 2, which is loading up on guest stars from the original — including Dan Butler as Bob “Bulldog” Briscoe, Edward Hibbert as Gil Chesterton and Harriet Sansom Harris as Frasier’s agent, Bebe Glazer — with Frasier returning to his radio station in Seattle for an episode. Peri Gilpin, who played Roz, also appears as a recurring character.

‘A Very Royal Scandal’ (Sept. 19 on Amazon): In 2019, Britain’s Prince Andrew gave a now- infamous TV interview about his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, which ultimately led to him withdrawing from official royal duties. The backstory of how that interview came about has already been adapted for the screen by Netflix with a movie-length treatment. Amazon’s upcoming version is spread out over three episodes and stars Michael Sheen and Ruth Wilson.

‘Matlock’ (Sept. 22 on CBS): The original “Matlock” was an Atlanta- set legal drama starring Andy Griffith. This version has an actor just as beloved at its center — Kathy Bates — but the premise is slightly different. She plays Madeline Matlock, a folksy defense attorney who can’t retire just yet, so she seeks out an entry-level job at a slick corporate firm in New York. But the real story — her real motivation for working there — is more complicated. That part makes up the ongoing storyline, while each week there’s a new client to defend.

‘Midnight Family’ (Sept. 24 on Apple TV+ ): The Spanish- language series follows a med student in Mexico City who moonlights as part of her family’s privately owned ambulance service. It’s adapted from the 2019 documentary of the same title.

‘The Last Days of the Space Age’ (Oct. 2 on Hulu): Starring Jesse Spencer, this eight-part dramedy is set in Perth, Australia. The year is 1979: Power workers are on strike, the city is hosting the Miss Universe pageant and the U.S. space station, Skylab, is about to crash nearby. According to the show’s description: “Against this backdrop of international cultural and political shifts, three families in a tight-knit coastal community find their marriages, friendships and futures put to the test.”

‘Disclaimer’ (Oct. 11 on Apple TV+): Cate Blanchett stars in this limited series from Alfonso Cuarón playing a powerful and celebrated journalist whose personal secrets are revealed in a novel by an unknown author played by Kevin Kline, who is looking to humiliate the woman he believes is responsible for his own pains and losses.

‘Ghosts’ (Oct. 17 on CBS): Now in its third season, this sitcom about the misadventures of ghosts trapped in a manor house and their human companions is one of the funniest shows on TV right now.

‘Poppa’s House’ (Oct. 21 on CBS): Starring Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. as father and son, the idea for the sitcom came about when a house across the street from Wayans Jr. became available and Wayans Sr. considered buying it.

‘Before’ (Oct. 25 on Apple TV+): Billy Crystal stars in this 10-episode psychological thriller as a widower and child psychiatrist treating a young patient who has a haunting connection to his past. It’s a rare dramatic role for Crystal.

‘The Marlow Murder Club’ (Oct. 27 on PBS Masterpiece):The TV adaptation of “The Marlow Murder Club” book series follows a retired archaeologist who teams up with a dog walker and a vicar’s wife. Together they become an amateur trio of sleuths in England.

‘St. Denis Medical’ (Nov. 12 on NBC): We haven’t had a hospital comedy on network TV since “Scrubs.” This one is a mockumentary from Justin Spitzer (“Superstore”), but another clear inspiration is “The Office.” Among the cast are comedic ringers including David Alan Grier, Kaliko Kauahi, Wendi McLendon- Covey and Allison Tolman.

‘Cross’ (Nov. 14 on Amazon): Aldis Hodge stars in this TV adaptation of the Alex Cross book series as a detective and forensic psychologist who digs into the psyches of killers and their victims in order to identify — and ultimately capture — the culprits.

‘Landman’ (Nov. 17 on Paramount+): Starring Billy Bob Thornton, the series is set amid the oil boomtowns of Texas and is based on the podcast “Boomtown,” offering an “upstairs-downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.”
