Which TV Show Ruled Halloween 2024? Vote For The Best Costumes From 9-1-1, Agatha All Along And More
Given that it's a business built upon playing dress-up and make-believe, is it any surprise that TV regularly crushes Halloween? And now that the big day has finally arrived, TVLine is taking stock of how the biggest live-action, scripted shows celebrated this year.
As you'll see, ABC did much of the heavy lifting in 2024, with 16 of the 25 entries in our costume contest coming from 9-1-1, Abbott Elementary or Doctor Odyssey. Sister streamer Disney+ also made a handful of noteworthy contributions, giving the witches of Agatha All Along their most magical makeovers yet.
We also have a few couples costumes this year, from Abbott Elementary's delightfully nerdy Jurassic Park reference to a pair of Chicago Med doctors living their Barbie and Ken fantasy.
As for trends, The Wizard of Oz was a common theme throughout several shows this year; between the costumes on 9-1-1 and Agatha All Along, we could stage a full-scale production. And with that cast, you'd have to fight us for front-row seats.
Disclaimer: We did have to make a few tough calls when putting this list together. For example, there's a one-entry-per-character rule, meaning we had to choose between the multiple costumes worn by Joshua Jackson and his fellow Odyssey staffers.
