The new U.S. series are nearly here and, as usual, they’ll be premiering throughout September through November. Here’s a list of confirmed premiere dates.
Note: Everything premiering before MIPCOM (October 5-8) will have ratings information ready for the Cannes market. (In fact, it’s expected that there will be 400 new scripted series available at MIPCOM.)
