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.
After six "seasons" as a web series (during which the show recieved high praise from Time's James Poniewozik, among numerous other critics), comedic anthology series High Maintenance is moving to HBO for its next season. The upcoming episodes continue to share just one thing in common: a Brooklyn pot dealer played by Ben Sinclair (who also writes and directs the series with his wife, Katja Blichfeld). Each episode finds him visiting a different client, and it is their stories that power the episodes, resulting in a series of humorous, miniature but sharply observed character portraits that require no chemical enhancement to enjoy. No prior knowledge of the series is needed to jump in, but you can catch all 19 previous episodes right now on HBO's various streaming services.
Season 7 starts September 16 on HBO
