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.
Star Norman Reedus has spent the summer talking up the upcoming 7th season of AMC's enduring hit zombie drama, though it will need to start strong to overcome fans' lingering anger about a season 6 cliffhanger that had Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) apparently killing off one of the show's characters without revealing the identity of his target. (Creator Robert Kirkman promises that the cliffhanger will pay off immediately this season and will not be repeated in the future.) Morgan will be one of several of last year's guests to become series regulars this season, along with Tom Payne, Austin Amelio, and Xander Berkeley.
Season 7 starts October 23 on AMC
