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.
Kylie Bunbury is already earning praise for her performance as the first woman to pitch for a Major League Baseball team in this sports drama from Dan Fogelman (Galavant) and Rick Singer. The early word from critics is that the pilot certainly isn't perfect, but there is potential in a show that benefits from a strong female protagonist and the added realism lent by Fox's MLB license (which means that you'll see real teams, uniforms, and players, among other things), and the network is certainly promoting the heck out of the series (expect to see incessant promos during the World Series). Bob Balaban, Ali Larter, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mark Consuelos, and Dan Lauria also star, and Paris Barclay (Sons of Anarchy) directs the pilot and produces.
