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.
Another NBC newcomer that appears to be inspiring optimism among critics is this ensemble family dramedy from Dan Fogelman (Galavant), which, oddly enough, is also receiving some Lost comparisons. The unabashedly sentimental pilot (directed by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, who teamed with Fogelman on Crazy, Stupid, Love) ends in a major twist which we won't spoil here, but we can say that the hour is about a group of seemingly unrelated people who share the same birthday and who find their paths crossing. The cast includes The People v. O.J. Simpson standout Sterling K. Brown along with Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, and Justin Hartley, while guests will include Gerald McRaney, Katey Sagal, and Brad Garrett.
