This fall, a variety of widely viewed television shows will be returning.

Among them,  “The Big Bang Theory” returned for its seventh season, “Parks and Recreation” for its sixth season, “Glee” for its fourth season and “Arrow” for its second season.

In past seasons, some of these series had high viewership rates and large fan bases. Critics are waiting to see if rates continue to climb with several shows beginning new storylines and others switching up the cast of characters.

Here is some information about what to expect this season from “The Walking Dead,” “American Horror Story: Coven,” “Once Upon a Time” and “Scandal,” all of which are premiering this fall.

Season four of “The Walking Dead” will premier Sunday, Oct. 13 at 9 p.m. on AMC. With season three killing off many of the main characters, viewers were left wondering what the future has in store for those who remain. This season will begin after a month of relative security that the survivors found in a prison; however, this safety quickly begins to fall apart when the walkers find their sanctuary. With rumors that many major characters are going to be killed off this season, die-hard “Walking Dead” fans will be crossing their fingers this Sunday, hoping that their favorite characters make it out alive.

 Just in time for the Halloween season, “American Horror Story: Coven” premiered Oct. 9 on FX. This season takes place at a school  in New Orleans for young Salem witches called Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies. There the students face a threat when a centuries old feud between Salem witches and Voodoo witches is re-ignited by the supreme witch Fiona, played by former cast member Jessica Lange. To follow the rest of the season tune in on Wednesdays at 10 p.m.

 Now playing on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC, “Scandal’s” 3rd season premiered Oct. 3. Last season ended with Olivia Pope being named as the president’s mistress, leaving viewers wondering who leaked the secret. This season picked up with Olivia Pope handling the fallout of being outed. While viewers were anxious through most of the first episode it revealed who leaked Olivia Pope’s name and brought with it many more questions.

Set to debut Oct. 10 at 8 p.m. on ABC, “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” will return with a spin off of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” The main character, Alice, has been placed in a mental asylum by her father because of her stories about Wonderland. The series will follow Alice as she struggles to be with a genie named Cyrus with whom she fell in love on her first adventure in Wonderland.
