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 September 21 on Netflix. It's a little bit science fiction and a lot of dark comedy, with some mind-twisting drama and visual flair thrown in for good measure. A Netflix miniseries based on a 2014 Norwegian show, Maniac reunites Superbad co-stars Jonah Hill and Emma Stone as strangers connected by an unusual pharmaceutical trial—intended to fix "anything about the mind, be it mental illness or heartbreak"—that doesn't exactly go to plan. (Some of the plot specifics are being kept a secret, though the original series takes place mostly within the mind of a psychiatric patient.)
All 10 episodes are directed by True Detective's Cary Fukunaga and the adaptation is written by novelist Patrick Somerville (who also worked on The Leftovers). Sally Field and Justin Theroux also star.
