Abstract: Since the launch of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) three years ago, the exoplanet field has had a new boom of discoveries. In this talk, I will review the main exoplanet results from the TESS Full Frame Images. I will highlight some of the new exoplanet subfields that emerged from TESS discoveries, especially those benefiting from the Full Frame Images data. These include multi-planetary systems around bright stars, planets around young field stars, and last but not the least, TESS's enormous contribution to our understanding of close-in gas giants.
