There are a few more months before the summer TV drought ends and everyone's favorite shows come back on the air. Some of the most highly anticipated series that will air this fall are "Riverdale"'s second season, "Jane the Virgin"'s fourth season (both on The CW), "Superstore" Season 3 on NBC, and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" Season 5 on FOX.
On the superhero front, there's also "The Flash" and "Supergirl" which are both returning with their fourth and third seasons respectfully this October. As viewers patiently wait for the return of their favorite TV shows this fall, some are just getting caught up.
Take for example "Hellboy" and "Pacific Rim" director, Guillermo del Toro, who recently took to Twitter to share his appreciation for the Andy Samberg-led comedy, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."

The award-winning director, who is best known for his work in "Pan's Labyrinth" (2006), "Hellboy" (2004), "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" and "Pacific Rim" (2013), recently tweeted that he is just now watching "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," and is thoroughly enjoying it. The 52-year old director described the Dan Goor and Mike Schur-created series as a show with "Gentle spirit but precisely-timed humor. Soul comfort food." Del Toro even said he's "loving it."
