POLITICAL thrillers, comic book creations, crime investigations and hilarious family antics — these are just some of the new and returning television series about to hit Australian screens.
October is the biggest month of the broadcast calendar and there are no less than 20 big-ticket productions about to flood the major networks, non-commercial stations and subscription TV channels.
The mix of variety is strong, from the comedic adventures of Modern Family and the compelling criminal drama of The Blacklist to the supervillain intrigue of Gotham.

Channel Seven is striking hard with the return of five major programs premiering in coming weeks while Network Ten will roll out a staggering eight new and returning shows.
Media analyst Simon Ryan, chief executive of Carat Australia, believes Ten is set for a strong finish to the year, with a swag of likely hits on its schedule.
"Party Tricks is Ten's big thing for the last quarter of the year and Asher Keddie's new role so I think that will do well," Ryan said.

"That's coupled with two overseas shows — Madam Secretary and Scorpion — that give them some very strong programs to drive ratings."
Madam Secretary, starring Tea Leoni as the title character, proved the hit of the start of the all-important `fall' ratings period in the US, attracting 14.7 million viewers on its debut.
Unexpectedly thrust into the position of Secretary of State, ex-CIA operative and college professor Elizabeth McCord must drive international diplomacy and wrangle office politics, all while balancing a complex family life.
Seven's strategy of fast-tracking the return of its two major ratings performers — The Blacklist and Resurrection — will please viewers, Ryan said.
Blacklist's second season debut enjoyed the show's second highest ratings ever in the US during its all important fall TV season.

Nine is bound to do well with the return of popular favourite The Big Bang Theory, which shows no signs of running out of steam. Its season return attracted an incredible 17.9 million viewers in the US, up even from its previous season finale.
Ryan also expects Nine to do well with new series Gotham, following its solid US debut of 8.2 million viewers.
Gotham is set in the iconic comic book city and tells the tale of supervillains before they were bad, including Catwoman and The Riddler.

Subscription television giant Foxtel is fast-tracking some high-profile new series including gritty crime drama Gracepoint, starring Australia's own Jacki Weaver.
Ryan said the big winner in the rush for rating success is viewers, with no shortage of choice in what to watch.
"This time of year is huge because it's the peak period for the best programs and the highest ratings."
