Baby Yoda is back this fall for season two of this wildly popular Disney+ Star Wars spinoff. And, really, he's the only reason we're all watching, right?

'Big Mouth'
This animated coming-of-age comedy from Netflix perfectly captures the awkwardness of adolescence. Back for a fourth season this year, we'll be waiting with bated breath to see if former BFFs Nick and Andrew can make amends.
-
'The Morning Show'
The flagship Apple TV+ drama returns in 2020 for a second season, which finds The Morning Show cast still coping with the outfall of corporate sexual harassment cover-up in the #MeToo era.
-
'Search Party'
If you slept on this TBS series' first two seasons, you'll get a chance to catch up when HBO Max launches -- and enjoy a new third season on the streaming service as well. The dark comedy follows a foursome of 20-somethings seeking answers to a college classmate's disappearance.
-
'Shrill'
Bumbling blogger Annie is back for a second season of this Hulu comedy series inspired by Lindy West's book of the same name. In this season, we find Annie happily coupled up with drifter Ryan, struggling to navigate freelance life, and literally screwing up her second chance at The Weekly Thorn. It's not as groundbreaking as the first season, but by the season two finale, it finds its groove and leaves viewers on a cliffhanger.
