Looking forward to the new fall TV season isn't as much as a thing as it used to be — with streaming platforms releasing series throughout the year we don't need to wait in anticipation for fall to roll around for new television shows to start up. But I still look forward to the fall television season, hoping for a new must-watch series. Here are two shows I'm looking forward to this fall:
Star Trek: Discovery — I'll admit it - I'm a Star Trek nerd. Growing up I was really into Star Trek: The Next Generation (I may have worn a Star Trek pin pinned on my winter coat for a year or two). I've also been really into the new movie reboots as well — especially the first two. Being a Trekkie, I'm excited for this new show, which is a prequel to the original series — and exists in a universe where humans still clash with each other, not just other entities in the universe. It has a strong female cast with Michelle Yeoh staring as Philippa Georgiou, the captain of the Starship Shenzhou and Sonequa Martin-Green as First Officer Michael Burnham. I can't wait to boldly go to where no one has gone before! Debuts on CTV and Space in Canada on September 24.
The Deuce — I wouldn't normally be excited about a show set in the gritty sex industry of New York in the 1970s, but I'm a huge fan of The Wire, so I'm looking forward to this new show helmed by David Simon. James Franco, in what I'm sure is a star-turning performance, plays twins trying to make a buck on the burgeoning porn industry. Maggie Gyllenhaal is a sex worker with entrepreneurial ambitions who is also drawn into the the porn industry. I'll give anything David Simon does a chance. The Deuce premiered Sunday, September 10 on HBO Canada.
Are you looking forward to any TV series this fall?
XOXO
P.S. The Atlantic had a good fall TV preview here!
