5 New Fall TV Shows We’re Actually Pretty Excited For

I laughed several times while watching this trailer, so I was fully sold on this show already. And then I found out Harry Styles is a producer and it’s like, I already told you I’M IN. Damon Wayans Jr. and Amber Stevens West star as an “ordinary” couple (uh, with extraordinarily hot looks and comedic timing) who find themselves with a new house guest: only the world’s biggest pop star (Felix Mallard as Cooper). The premise is only inspired by the time when Styles lived with producer Ben Winston, so it’s not a docuseries, but damn if this doesn’t look promising. The payoff on that that sex mix joke had me in a full LOL, and I suspect there are plenty more of those to come. — Lea Palmieri

If you are in mourning over NBC’s cancellation of the absurd yet inspiring medical nighttime soap, The Night Shift, the network is doing its best to atone with New Amsterdam. Former The Blacklist star and all-around cutie Ryan Eggold stars as Dr. Max Goodwin, the newly appointed medical director of New Amsterdam hospital, who is willing to shake things up to fix the hospital’s broken system — including firing the entire cardiac surgical team that puts “billing before care” on his first day. The trailer indicates that the pilot includes a potential Ebola outbreak, an abused teen desperate for someone to listen, and the reveal that the seemingly untouchable Dr. Goodwin has cancer! So with New Amsterdam, audiences can surely expect the unexpected (just think of all the potential bizarre cases and complicated hospital politics) and, most importantly, ALL OF THE FEELS. — Karen Kemmerle

We’ve totally had O.J. Simpson fever the last few years, and based on the looks of ABC’s The Fix, we still aren’t ready to let it go. Executive produced by Marcia Clark herself, the series follows a prosecutor (Robin Tunney) who loses the biggest case of her career and is destroyed by the media, pushing her to leave Los Angeles for a quiet life in Oregon. When the killer from that case (played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, none other than Lost‘s Mr. Echo!) strikes again some 8 years later, however, she’s sucked back into the world she left behind and must confront him and her past all over again. Murder! Failure! Fear! A female attorney out for vengeance! I’m totally sold. — Jade Budowski

I will admit that Fox made plenty of mistakes with its fall lineup (still heartbroken over the The Mick, y’all). But there is one potential winner in their fall lineup as far as I’m concerned, and it’s The Cool Kids. The trailer sells the show as a mix of The Golden Girls and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (no surprise considering Charlie Day is involved!), and it stars four TV all-stars. Martin Mull (Roseanne), Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace), and David Alan Grier (In Living Color) star as three hard-partying seniors whose dominance over their old folks home is challenged when Vicki Lawrence (Mama’s Family) moves in. This trailer has plenty of stuff you wouldn’t expect to see in a network multicam show (grand theft auto, desecration of human remains, sexual propositions), and it’s great to see these legends acting up onscreen again. — Brett White

The more Leighton Meester comedies we have in the world, the better. And this one comes from New Girl creator Liz Meriwether, just in case you weren’t already intrigued by the new ABC comedy about single parents that team up just to get by. Taran Killam also stars here in a show that looks so good, even exhausted single parents will figure out a way to fit this one into their schedule. – Lea Palmieri
