With the temperatures cooling down, leaves changing colors, and pumpkin spice lattes coming back in season, fall has officially begun. Despite this, it can be hard to get into the fall spirit sometimes, especially if you’re around people who are clinging to the last remnants of summer. These shows are perfect for ushering in the fall season, both with cozy and spooky vibes alike.

This show, and the revival Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, is available for streaming on Netflix.
