2018 Fall TV Preview: 25 Notable Shows
In the gallery above, we preview the most notable new and returning television shows scheduled to debut between now and the end of 2018. Note that the new fall shows on the five broadcast networks will be profiled separately next week.
Debuts October 12 on Prime Video. Arriving a bit later than originally expected due to separate sexual harassment scandals involving its creator as well as original production studio The Weinstein Company, the first post-Mad Men series from Matthew Weiner is an eight-episode anthology series in the old-fashioned sense: each standalone episode features a completely different cast, setting (spanning seven countries), and story, with each one centering on a different present-day person who claims to be a descendant of the Russian dynasty that gives the show its title.
The nature of the show allows for a pretty fantastic cast, with appearances from Isabelle Huppert, Aaron Eckhart, Kathryn Hahn, Diane Lane, Corey Stoll, Jack Huston, Paul Reiser, Janet Montgomery, Clea Duvall, Noah Wyle, Kerry Bishé, Ron Livingston, and Amanda Peet, as well as Mad Men veterans like John Slattery and Christina Hendricks. New episodes arrive weekly, with two on the October 12 launch day.
