Fall TV Preview: 30 Notable Shows
If you think that fall is the time for broadcast networks to introduce the bulk of their new programming while cable and streaming services hold their best shows back for midseason, it may be time to reconsider your assumptions. Critics are already buzzing about September's surprisingly strong new comedy slate, while the coming months will also bring high-profile newcomers like HBO's Westworld and Netflix's Luke Cage as well as the return of the much-loved Gilmore Girls, among other highlights.
We've picked out the most notable fall TV debuts (both new and returning shows) below, ordered by date. For more premiere dates and details on every upcoming show (including those not profiled here), visit our Fall TV Premiere Calendar.
Need a way to get your mumblecore fix on the small screen now that HBO's Togetherness is gone? Netflix has you covered. Easy is the first TV series from prolific indie filmmaker Joe Swanberg (Digging for Fire, Drinking Buddies), and it's an anthology (with eight stand-alone, half-hour episodes) focusing on a diverse group of Chicago residents dealing with modern life and relationships. The excellent ensemble includes Hannibal Buress, Aya Cash, Malin Åkerman, Orlando Bloom, Emily Ratajkowski, Marc Maron, Kiersey Clemons, Elizabeth Reaser, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jake Johnson, Dave Franco, and more.
