Meet Fall's New TV Shows

Each week, The Daily Beast sifts through the cultural landscape to choose three top picks. This week, TV networks tease their next big hits, a trailer round-up of upcoming summer films, and a photo gallery of movie posters with a unique artistic twist.

More TV, Please!

Next week, advertisers and press descend on New York City for the broadcast networks' annual upfront presentations, in which CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and the CW announce their new fall schedules, tout their returning shows, and break some viewers' hearts by dropping the axe on more than a few shows. As a result, new show pickups have begun to leak. Thankfully, broadcasters are being slightly more risky in their pilot picks this year in an attempt to compete with cable. So what do the networks want on your DVR come September? NBC is banking on Awake, an inventive script by Kyle Killen (Lone Star, The Beaver) which follows a police detective whose family is in a car crash, and who lives parallel realities in which only his wife or only his son survives the tragedy. NBC is heading to the '60s with Playboy, which follows the lives of Chicago's Playboy Club bunnies, and Up All Night, a single-camera comedy with Christina Applegate and Will Arnett. Meanwhile, Fox has cherrypicked the charming Zooey Deschanel for the unexpected role of sitcom star. Lean back in your La-Z-Boy, because as the week goes on, The Daily Beast will bring you breaking details on the networks' new schedules and programming.

Pick #2: The 25 Hottest Summer Movies

Pick #3: Olly Moss' Museum-Worthy Film Posters
