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

5. Minority Report

There€™s an ongoing trend for TV shows that are based on movies, with the likes of Fargo and Hannibal enjoying great success, while Scream will be the next attempt we€™ll see, airing on MTV this summer. It€™s set to continue in the autumn as well, with a small screen take on Minority Report, that€™s set up to be a sequel (of sorts) to the original film. The movie, which was itself an adaptation of a story by Philip K Dick, was based around €˜precrime€™ - i.e. stopping crimes before they happen. Set 10 years after the events of the film, this will focus on a former precog who is struggling to lead a normal life, and still haunted by visions of the future, until he meets a detective who€™ll give him a reason to use his gift. Godzilla€™s Max Bornstein has written the script for the pilot, while original movie director Steven Spielberg will executive produce through his Ambling Television production company. https://youtu.be/_fLl-DMzxrk

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
