We’ve seen the pilots of NBC’s new shows, and while they’re not for review (things often change drastically before the shows are set to premiere), we do want to share our first reactions to what’s coming in the fall and midseason. This quick guide is designed to get you excited for some new shows … and to warn you to curb your enthusiasm for others.
NBC has so many new shows. I’ve seen most of them. Get our first impressions of the new offerings here. Which shows are you looking forward to?
“The Fall” has been renewed by BBC. The drama, starring Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan, debuted on Netflix on Tuesday, May 28.
![THE RETURN OF GILLIAN ANDERSON
“The X-Files” star been on “Hannibal” this season, but she’s poised to make a big splash this summer and fall with “The Fall” on Netflix and NBC’s “Crisis.” In “The Fall” (on Netflix Tuesday, May 28), Anderson plays Stella Gibson, a detective brought in to stop a serial killer in Belfast. “The Fall” also features “The Good Wife’s” Archie Panjabi — “Archie is a fantastic actress and we have a very interesting and compelling relationship in ‘The Fall.’” — and “Once Upon a Time’s” Jamie Dornan.
A little tease …
Were you drawn to the character of Stella Gibson or the story of “The Fall”? I think if I’m honest, primarily, initially, the character. I find her so intriguing and I still find her quite mysterious and I think that’s quite unusual for a contemporary drama. I like the way she handles situations and I thought I kind of need to be this person for a while. Obviously, the scripts themselves were very well-written, very compelling, very emotionally engaging. I knew that after having conversations with [the minds behind “The Fall”] that they had similar ideas as I did about how it should be shot and once we were all on the same page, it just seemed like something I couldn’t not do.

Scully’s back, y’all! Gillian Anderson will appear in Bryan Fuller’s “Hannibal” on NBC. Yes, just one more reason to watch “Hannibal.”
Remember when Gillian was the youngest actress to win an Emmy for best actress in a Drama series?

It’s official: I really want to see “The Fall.”
Gillian Anderson, Archie Panjabi and Jamie Dornan … need I say more?
