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.

This adaptation of Kem Nunn's novel (by the author himself along with Desperate Housewives vet Alexandra Cunningham) is directed by Lenny Abrahamson (Room) and also stars Gretchen Mol, Paul Adelstein, and Clarke Peters.
