This fall is bringing many amazing new shows our way, and some of them won’t struggle to find any audience. From John Wick to The Boys, some of the most beloved pop culture phenomena in recent years are getting a spin-off treatment on our small screens this fall.

The Continental

There are several spin-off projects being developed in the John Wick franchise, starting with the prequel series The Continental. This show tells the origin story of the iconic hotel-for-assassins from the John Wick universe, told from the perspective of the young Winston Scott.

Gen V

Amazon has given us one of its most popular shows with the supernatural satire The Boys, and it was just a matter of time before this series started producing spin-offs. Gen V is basically X-Men meets The Hunger Games, and it sees young superheroes taking part in brutal battle royal challenges at the Godolkin University.

Goosebumps

The Goosebumps movie franchise needs no special introduction, and Disney+ is bringing a series set in the same universe our way. Based on R. L. Stine’s beloved book series, this horror comedy will center on five teenagers trying to recapture supernatural forces that they’ve accidentally unleashed upon the world.
