Fall Back into TV – Season Premiers 2013

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bucknell chapter.

Finally, the fall is back and so are the TV shows we have been waiting all summer to watch! If you are in need of a new show to obsess over this fall, then we have the HC team picks below for you. Here are the top new shows to look out for in the coming weeks!

 

BETRAYAL
ABC – Premieres: Sunday, Sep. 29 at 10/9c
DRAMA

If you like Revenge, then you will love Betrayal. Sara (Hannah Ware), an unhappily married photographer, starts a torrid affair with Jack (Stuart Townsend), a lawyer for a powerful family. The catch: Jack is defending a murder suspect who is being prosecuted by Sara’s husband, Drew (Chris J. Johnson), kick-starting a series of disastrous consequences.

 

TROPHY WIFE
ABC – Premieres: Tuesday, Sep. 24 at 9:30/8:30c
COMEDY

When a former party girl (Malin Akerman) marries a twice-divorced older man, she also marries into his unique family—which includes two ex-wives, three kids and lots of messy leftovers from previous marriages. Trophy Wife charmingly explores the increasingly common redefinition of the American family, but doesn’t mock it with spiteful ex-wives or other tropes. Akerman is hilariously funny and shines in this new family comedy.

BROOKLYN NINE-NINE
FOX – Premieres: Tuesday, Sep. 17 at 8/7c

COMEDY

Parks and Recreation’s Dan Goor and Michael Schur bring you TV’s newest odd couple: Andy Samberg as an immature detective and his tough, by-the-books captain, Andre Braugher. Terry Crews, Joe Lo Truglio, Melissa Fumero, Chelsea Peretti and Stephanie Beatriz co-star. With an all-star cast, this comedy will be a winner!

THE BLACKLIST
NBC – Premieres: Monday, Sep. 23 at 10/9c
ACTION

Three-time Emmy winner James Spader returns to TV as Raymond “Red” Reddington, one of the most-wanted fugitives who strikes a deal with the FBI. He will help them take down super-criminals on a blacklist who have thus far evaded capture. However, he will only work with rookie agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone).

THE ORIGINALS
CW – Premieres: Thursday, Oct. 3 at 9/8c

DRAMA/ACTION

If you love The Vampire Diaries, then you will love this new spin-off series that tells the story of the world’s original vampires, Klaus (Joseph Morgan), his brother Elijah (Daniel Gillies) and sister Rebekah (Claire Holt). They return to New Orleans, the city they built, to reunite with Klaus’ former protégé Marcel (Charles Michael Davis), who now rules the city with an army of obedient vampires and witches. Klaus chooses to stay after he learns that werewolf Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) is pregnant after their one-night stand and their child could one day be king of the city.

Devin is a sophomore at Bucknell University. She is intending to be a Markets, Innovation and Design major in the School of Management, and is also pursuing a minor in Creative Writing. She can be found giving tours around campus, doing homework on the quad, or dancing in her apartment with her friends. Devin also writes for the HC Bucknell chapter, and loves all things Her Campus! Outside of school and HC, she enjoys playing sports, reading, singing, and trying new foods. In fact, her life motto is "eat dessert first." Devin is very excited to be the Management Intern at HC headquarters in Boston this summer!
