13 Most Exciting New TV Shows To Watch This Fall
3. The Good Place
Air Date: September 19.
Kristen Bell and Ted Danson in a comedy from the creator of Parks & Rec. and Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Bell, landing another starring TV role after the cancellation of House of Lies, leads the way here as Eleanor, who dies and goes to heaven. However, there's been a mix-up, since she was a rather awful person when alive, and shouldn't be there at all - a secret she has to try and keep from Ted Danson's Michael, her guide to the good place.
The comedy chops of Bell and Danson aren't in doubt, and they should make for an interesting duo here, while Schur has proved he can write with real heart and humour on both of the aforementioned shows he co-created, as well as being a writer and producer on The Office. Combining that talent with a high concept makes for one of the most interesting and promising new sitcoms of fall 2016.
