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.
Often described as a Twilight Zone for the modern age (a not entirely accurate comparison, since it generally lacks Zone's famous twist endings), Black Mirror is an acclaimed British anthology series that explores stories depicting the various impacts of present and future technology. For its third season, Charlie Brooker's series moves to Netflix, with six new episodes this fall and another six to follow at a later date. Fall's episodes count Joe Wright and Dan Trachtenberg among the directors, Mike Schur and Rashida Jones among the writers, and music from Portishead's Geoff Barrow. The new season will also feature performances from Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bryce Dallas Howard, Alice Eve, Kelly MacDonald, and more.
Season 3 streams October 21 on Netflix
