The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 2 (Netflix, August 23) But the international young cast all seem game, Oda’s given it his seal of approval, and, worst case, most of the original anime’s streaming on Netflix, too. Luffy’s cartoony, super-stretchy powers become straight-up body horror in live action. This eight-episode first season will only scratch the surface of that source material, and the biggest question might be whether protagonist Monkey D. Eiichiro Oda’s equally treasured manga One Piece, which began in 1997 and has 1,090 (and counting) chapters, is a swashbuckling tale of adventure, friendships, and pirates with awesome and/or wacky powers. There’s a strong chance Netflix’s latest anime-to-live-action adaptation will be another letdown like Cowboy Bebop.

If none of that feels right, there’s always the stalwart reality offerings ( The Golden Bachelor, new seasons of RHOSLC and Love Is Blind) to fill the hours. But innovative, decidedly not IP productions still managed to make their way onto the slate, including Colin Farrell as a detective (!), a new collaboration from Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij (!!), and a mysterious scripted collaboration between Benny Safdie and Nathan Fielder (!!!). Smith), and long-awaited adaptations ( The Changeling, The Other Black Girl, Lessons in Chemistry, All the Light We Cannot See), as well as returning seasons of frothy delights ( The Gilded Age, Julia) and animated entries both established ( Invincible), original ( Krapopolis), and, improbably, both ( Scott Pilgrim Takes Off). At first glance, much will be recognizable: You’ve got the requisite franchise spinoffs ( Ahsoka, The Boys’ Gen V, Loki season two), reboots ( Frasier, Donald Glover’s Mr. Yes, the Hollywood strikes have delayed production on many of our fall favorites, but the final stretch of 2023 in TV is looking just as captivating as the months preceding it.
