Fall 2008 Preview - New Shows
Here's what's on tap for Fall 2008 in sci-fi and fantasy TV. More to come on two new series slated for midseason, Dollhouse and Merlin. Already airing: the British monster drama Primeval.
1. Fringe - Premiere: Sept. 9. Airs: Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Fox.
2. Knight Rider - Premiere: Sept. 24. Airs: Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC (encores Saturdays).
3. Life on Mars - Premiere: Oct. 9. Airs: Thursdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.
4. Sanctuary
Premiere: Oct. 3. Airs: Fridays at 9 p.m. on Sci Fi. Sanctuary started life as eight independently produced webisodes created by Damian Kindler, a writer-producer for the Stargate franchise. Not coincidentally, the Victoran-era-set Sanctuary stars Stargate veteran Amanda Tapping as Dr. Helen Magnus, whose father introduced her to the study of strange and magical beings on Earth. Aiding her are psychiatrist Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne, As If); her ex-lover John Druitt (Christopher Heyerdahl, Smallville), who's from the far future who has the ability to manipulate spacetime and teleport; and their daughter Ashley Magnus (Emilie Ullerup). Sanctuary was performed in front of green screens, with all sets and effects being added by CGI.
5. True Blood - Premiere: Sept. 7. Airs: Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO.
6. Valentine - Premiere: Sept. 21. Airs: Sundays at 8 p.m. on The CW.
