The fall TV season continues this week with a slew of exciting offerings, both old and new. Some shows are even a mix of both, like MTV’s TRL reboot that kicks off Monday, October 2. (Yes, TRL is coming back; early 2000s fanatics rejoice!) If you want to pass on TRL, though, there are plenty of shows this week that will give you just as many feels. Scandal‘s last season kicks off Thursday, not to mention the premieres for black-ish and Fresh Off the Boat. And let’s not forget the doozy of a Kate Winslet film hitting theaters this weekend, The Mountain Between Us, about two strangers-turned-lovers who almost freeze to death. Sound familiar?
These are the 17 can’t-miss premieres happening this week. Get excited.
Sunday, October 1
Keeping Up With the Kardashians: The 14th season of E!’s signature show about pop-culture’s signature family premieres tonight. Even after 10 years, we’re still invested as hell. Bible. 9 P.M. EST on E!
Ten Days in the Valley: Kyra Sedgwick experiences a mother’s worst nightmare when her daughter is kidnapped in the middle of the night. A Taken-esque narrative ensues. 10 P.M. EST on ABC

The Gifted: A badass female superhero (Natalie Alyn Lind) is at the center of this X-Men spinoff series, which explores what happens to two teenagers when they realize they have mutant powers. 9 P.M. EST on Fox
TRL: No, Carson Daly isn’t back to host, but this highly-anticipated reboot will surely deliver the nostalgic music-video feels you want. Ed Sheeran and Migos are set to perform in the first episode. 3:30 P.M. EST on MTV
Tuesday, October 3
Queen Sugar: The second midseason premiere of this smash hit from Ava DuVernay premieres tonight, and the stakes are high. Tune in to find out how Darla’s family reacts to her engagement news and if Aunt Violet’s condition worsens. (We’re particularly nervous about the latter.) 10 P.M. EST on OWN
black-ish: Season four of the Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross-helmed comedy kicks off this evening, but something tells us the laughs might be in short supply. Remember, we just found out Bow’s having complications with her pregnancy, so viewers will be walking on eggshells until that’s resolved. 9 P.M. EST on ABC
Fresh Off the Boat: A quick refresher: Jessica and Louis’ plans to move back into their old home are foiled when they discover someone else is already renting it. Does this mean the family has to stay in their new digs, which it’s pretty clear they hate? Tune in to find out. 8:30 P.M. EST on ABC
The Mayor: One of fall’s most promising new offerings tracks what happens when an aspiring rapper (Brandon Micheal Hall) decides to run for mayor to promote his music and wins. There’s only one thing to do in this situation, TBH: Hire Lea Michele to run your office. (For the record, it’s one of the Glee star’s strongest performances to date.) 9:30 P.M. EST on ABC

iHeartRadio Music Festival: The Weeknd, Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and other singers perform at this two-day festival, which takes place in Las Vegas. 8 P.M. EST on The CW
The Real Housewives of New Jersey: RHONJ is kind of like a music festival, too—except it’s filled with people screaming instead of singing. If that’s your jam, then add this to your list. 9 P.M. EST on Bravo

Scandal: Olivia Pope drinks wine, eats popcorn, and solves political crises for one final season, starting this evening. I can’t talk about this more without crying. 9 P.M. EST on ABC
