9 New Fall TV Shows Premiering This Week
It’s officially new Fall TV season! The last week of September will bring back tons of new returning TV series, but there are also a few new shows viewers may want to carve out room to watch. These are the nine series premieres airing this week:
“Magnum P.I.” (Monday at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS) If you love action-packed CBS procedurals, this is more of that. The reboot has Jay Hernandez taking Tom Selleck’s place as the titular detective (and no, he does not have the iconic mustache). He’s a retired Navy SEAL who is setting up his business as a private investigator, and he’ll find cases to solve right away.
“Manifest” (Monday at 10 p.m. EDT on NBC) The show has been compared to “Lost,” and it’ll be up to fans whether it’s as beloved as ABC’s mysterious show. The NBC drama starts with a plane returning after going missing over five years ago. However, no time has passed for any of the passengers. They felt some turbulence, but they think they’ve been in the air for just a few hours.
“FBI” (Tuesday at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS) “Law & Order” mastermind Dick Wolf has sent his latest procedural to CBS. It takes place at the Bureau’s largest field office in New York, where Special Agent Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) gets a new partner, Omar Adom “OA” Zidan (Zeeko Zaki). The latter has just spent two years undercover with the DEA, but now he’s ready to take on terrorism and cybercrime.
“New Amsterdam” (Tuesday at 10 p.m. EDT on NBC) Inspired by Dr. Eric Manheimer’s true story, the NBC medical drama follows Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) as he starts directing America’s oldest public hospital. He wants to cut through the red tape and just make it a hospital that focuses on helping people get better. However, that’s not an easy task in 2018.
“Mr. Inbetween” (Tuesday at 11 p.m. EDT on FX) This six-episode season follows Ray Shoesmith (Ryan Scott), who is juggling responsibilities as a father, brother, friend and hit man. Things get complicated when Ray discovers his best friend was set up by his brother-in-law.
“Single Parents” (Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. EDT on ABC) This ABC comedy follows a group of single parents whose kids go to school together. The newest parent at school, Will (Taran Killam), has been so focused on raising his daughter on his own that he has lost himself. Angie (Leighton Meester) seeks to use this to their advantage to get out of volunteering at school, but she soon discovers that he truly needs their help.
“A Million Little Things” (Wednesday at 10 p.m. EDT on ABC) ABC is hoping to give “This Is Us” fans another tearjerker drama. The show follows a group of friends whose world is rocked after one of them dies by suicide.
“Murphy Brown” (Thursday at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS) What’s old is new again. This revival features the return of Candice Bergen as the titular journalist, who is still searching for truth and “determined to draw the line between good television and honest reporting.”
“Cool Kids” (Friday at 8:30 p.m. EDT on Fox) This sitcom follows senior citizens at a retirement home who aren’t done having fun yet. Vicki Lawrence, Martin Mull, David Alan Grier and Leslie Jordan star.
Of course, these new series will premiere alongside the returns of some fan-favorite TV shows. Check out the full list of September premieres.
