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.
Woody Allen got his start, of course, writing for TV in the 1950s. But he waited until the age of 80 to write, direct, and star in his very own TV series—though, admittedly, it's not all that much longer than one of his movies. Consisting of six half-hour episodes (with no possibility of a second season), Crisis is a serialized comedy set in the late 1960s and follows a middle-class suburban family whose lives are shaken by the arrival of a guest. Allen himself stars alongside Miley Cyrus (yes, the one you're thinking of), Elaine May, Lewis Black, Michael Rapaport, Joy Behar, and David Harbour.
