A Harvest of New TV

Emily Jacobsson, Asst. A&E Editor

From saying goodbye to canceled shows, to learning about new favorites, the start of another year of television is always bittersweet. However, this fall’s lineup of promising new TV shows is guaranteed to have viewers excited to clear out their DVR and make room for the new.

Supergirl (Oct. 3)

Fans of “The Flash” and “Arrow” may find themselves enjoying “Supergirl,” a new action adventure series. “Supergirl” follows Kara Zor-el (Melissa Benoist) cousin of Superman, who spends her days running errands for her boss and hiding her powers. When her best friend’s plane faces the danger of crashing, Kara has no choice but to embrace those powers, and once she does, she doesn’t want to stop.

Scream Queens (Sept. 22)

In a killer (literally) new comedy by Ryan Murphy, the creator of “Glee” and “American Horror Story,” a group of rich and vain sorority sisters led by Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts) live in a house with a haunted past. When pledge season comes around and a killing spree begins, the sorority girls are forced to work with their pledges in hopes of staying safe. With a cast full of familiar faces, (including Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas) and a killer set on taking the sorority out, “Scream Queens” will have no problem keeping you on your toes.

Dr. Ken (Oct. 22)

For those looking for a light-hearted comedy, “Dr. Ken” is a show you won’t want to miss. Ken Jeong, a physician turned comedian, stars in a show loosely based off of his past career. At work, he’s an overly honest doctor with a terrible bedside manner. At home, he’s an overbearing, and often times clueless, father with a therapist wife who keeps him in check. While he tries to be the best doctor and father he can, Ken often slips up.

Limitless (Sept. 22)

“Limitless” is a continuation of the 2011 film of the same name. However, you won’t need to see the movie to follow this thriller’s plot. Brian Finch (Jake McDorman) discovers NZT, a powerful brain-enhancing drug that makes him the smartest man alive. He uses his extraordinary skills to help the FBI solve their most complex cases. This fast paced show includes highly anticipated cameos from Bradley Cooper in which he will be playing his character Eddie Mora from the film.

The Grinder (Sept. 29)

Following in his father’s and brother’s footsteps, Dean Sanderson (Rob Lowe) becomes a lawyer, one in a TV series that is. When his show ends and he moves back home, Rob decides he has enough experience to join his dad and brother in the real world. His smile and dramatic flair is enough to win him a case on TV, but he soon realizes he doesn’t know the first thing about law in real life and falls into a mid-life crisis.
