Best TV Shows Subreddits (October 2026)

Most TV shows talk on Reddit happens in a few big places, but the smaller communities are where the specialists are. We checked the communities Reddit returns for “television” and “tv shows”, kept the public, safe-for-work ones with at least 25,000 members that are still posting, and ranked the 8 that remain by size. Together they have 21M members.

How the TV shows communities compare

Membership is concentrated: the three largest communities hold 97% of all members on this list, so most of the TV shows conversation happens in a handful of places. r/television is both the biggest and the busiest, with about 59 new posts a day. Per member, the liveliest is r/VintageTV: 11 posts a day from 35.8K members — a smaller crowd, but an engaged one. The oldest is r/television, founded in 2008, and only one community here is younger than five years: r/FromSeries (2022).

Choosing where to post

Questions do best in r/televisionsuggestions, the community on this list that is built around advice and help (around 22 posts a day). Asking the same thing in r/television often gets it removed or lost among the 59 daily posts. Rule sets vary: of the communities we have rules for, r/television lists 12, against 7 in r/brooklynninenine, so a post that is fine in one can be removed in another.

Big subreddits give a post the widest audience, but they also bury it quickly; the mid-sized communities on this list are usually friendlier for questions and first posts. Always read the rules in the sidebar first — each community is run by its own volunteer moderators. Our guide to searching Reddit explains how to dig through any of these communities, and the subreddit info tool gives you the stats of one we don't list.
