15 Most Exciting New TV Shows You Need To Watch This Fall

2. Star Trek Discovery (CBS)

What Is It

"Ten years before Kirk... Ten years before Spock... Ten years before The Enterprise... There was Discovery." A new Star Trek TV show, which will boldly go to new planets and discover new civilisations.

Reasons To Be Excited

It's the first new Star Trek TV series since Enterprise ended 12 years ago, which is cause alone to get the hype machine working for this one. While there are some niggling doubts - such as the numerous delays and Bryan Fuller's unfortunate departure - there is still plenty reason for optimism here. It has an excellent cast, led by Sonequa Martin-Green and including Jason Isaacs and Michelle Yeoh. The production design and CGI looks more impressive than anyone probably hoped, and there's a good mix of character and action.
