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.
Fans of Sex and the City might be excited by Sarah Jessica Parker's return to HBO, but what has us most intrigued by Divorce is that it is Sharon Horgan's American TV debut. Horgan, the writer (and star) of such British comedy hits as Catastrophe and Pulling, created this new comedy that finds Parker playing mother of two Frances, whose decade-long marriage to Robert (Thomas Haden Church) begins to fall apart. Molly Shannon and Tracy Letts also star, while guests include Jemaine Clement, Robert Forster, and Dean Winters. In addition to Horgan, writers on the series include podcast favorites Tom Scharpling (The Best Show) and Hayes Davenport (Hollywood Handbook), plus Girls' Paul Simms and Seinfeld vet Jennifer Crittenden.
