24 New Fall TV Shows You Won’t Want to Miss
7. SEAL Team
Led by David Boreanaz (Bones), this show is about the personal lives of the elite Navy SEALs who execute the most dangerous high-stakes missions for the United States. Max Thieriot (Texas Rising) and Neil Brown Jr. (Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency) play members of the elite team. Jessica Pare (Mad Men) supports Boreanaz as the CIA analyst who operates and coordinates the mission.
The show is one of four new military focused series this premiere season, so there is some competition in the genre this year. Christopher Chulack (ER) is executive producing while Benjamin Cavell (Justified) wrote the series, and it’s looking to be more of a procedural replacement for their audiences.
SEAL Team premieres on Wednesday, September 27 at 9/8c on CBS.
8. Will & Grace
This show is coming back for its Season 9 reboot, and we could not be more excited. While little details about the new season are slim, producers have told us to forget the flash-forward focused Season 8 finale.
Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Megan Mullally, and Sean Hayes are all returning with the reboot. The producers confirmed that Harry Connick Jr. will also be showing up, though sadly Shelley Morrison will not be. There are also plans to address Debbie Reynold’s death, as she played Grace’s Mom for 10 episodes and received an emmy nomination for the role.
Will & Grace premieres on Thursday, September 28 at 9/8c on NBC.
9. Marvel’s Inhumans
Based within the Marvel cinematic universe and off of the comics of the same name, this new television show is centered around Black Bolt and other members of the Royal Inhuman family. Anson Mount is playing Bolt, who is well known for his lead role in Hell on Wheels, while Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones), Serinda Swan (Graceland), Eme Ikwuakor (Extant), Isabelle Cornish (Puberty Blues) and Ken Leung (Lost) also star.
The show is about the Royal Family of Inhumans, who are splintered by a military coup led by Bolt’s brother Maximus the Mad (Rheon). Bolt and others barely escape to Hawaii, of all places, where their unpredictable interactions with the environment and people around them may prove to be useful to both them and the protection of Earth itself.
Marvel’s Inhumans premieres on Friday, September 29 at 8/c on ABC.
10. Wisdom of the Crowd
Jeremy Piven is back in his element playing Jeffery Tanner, a tech innovator, who creates a cutting-edge crowd-sourcing hub named ‘Sophe’ to solve his own daughter’s murder, but it ends up becoming a tool to solve a number of other crimes. The style sets up for a procedural drama, while the big lure over the season will be to finally crack his daughter’s case.
Richard T. Jones (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) plays Detective Tommy Cavanaugh who was originally assigned to Mia Tanner’s case, Natalia Tena (Game of Thrones) is the lead of the brilliant tech team behind the operations, and Monica Potter (Parenthood) plays Tanner’s congresswoman ex-wife. The show sounds familiar to similar plots we have seen before, but with writer/creator Ted Humphrey (The Good Wife) at the helm we might see a new take
Wisdom of the Crowd premieres on Sunday, October 1 at 8:30/7:30c on CBS.
11. Ghosted
This supernatural sitcom show stars Craig Robinson (The Office) as Leroy Wright, a skeptic is forced to work with Max Jennifer, played by Adam Scott (Parks and Recreation),who a firm believer of the paranormal, when they are recruited to investigate paranormal activity in Los Angeles. The organization called The Bureau Underground believes these occurrences are tied to a mysterious entity that could threaten the existence of the human race.
Both Scott and Robinson are executive producing the show along with creator Tom Gormican (That Awkward Moment) and director Jonathan Krisel (Portlandia). Amber Stevens West (Greek) and Ally Walker (Sons of Anarchy) play supporting roles.
Ghosted premieres on Sunday, October 1 at 8:30/7:30c on FOX.
12. Ten Days in the Valley
Kyra Sedgwick is coming back to television and we couldn’t be more excited! Sedgwick stars as Jane Sadler, who is a showrunner and writer for a hit TV crime drama.
Life imitates art when her daughter is abducted in the middle of the night, and she gets thrown into an investigation with her ex played by Kick Gurry (Sense8), her sister played by Erika Christensen (Parenthood), and the lead investigator, played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost) and his partner played by Ali Liebert (Bomb Girls).
Its 10pm time slot on a Sunday could hurt its performance, especially since the lead-ins are reality television. However, we have faith in Sedgwick and showrunner/executive producer Tassie Cameron (Rookie Blue), so it looks to be a solid choice out of the new dramas coming this fall.
Ten Days in the Valley premieres on Sunday, October 1 at 10/9c on ABC.
Hillary Esquina
Hillary is television fanatic and spends most of her free time talking about all things television and pop culture, even if it’s just with baby padawan (her son) and her wife. Her current day job is working within the nonprofit sector, and she is pretty much in love with any show that has strong female characters. Never one to be boxed into any sort of genre, her show preferences range from Wynonna Earp and Dark Matter to One Day At a Time and Modern Family.
