Details on the new shows:
– From unscripted mastermind John de Mol, and based on the Dutch hit of the same name, Utopia is a bold new series that moves 15 everyday Americans to an undeveloped location and challenges them to create their own civilization. Will it be ultimate happiness or utter chaos?
– From Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television, and starring Academy Award-winning actress Octavia Spencer, Dave Annable and a charismatic cast of fresh faces, Red Band Society is a provocative, unconventional and unique coming-of-age dramedy about a group of unlikely and rule-bending friends and the adults who mentor them through the ups and downs of adolescence in Los Angeles’ Ocean Park Hospital. Exploring everything from strong friendships, and first loves, to humorous mishaps and heartbreaks, the series is a story of life, with an edgy comedic tone all its own.
– Gotham follows one cop, destined for greatness, as he navigates a dangerously corrupt city teetering between good and evil, and chronicles the rise of the great DC Comics Super-Villains and vigilantes. The entirely new, untold chapter comes from executive producer/writer Bruno Heller and stars Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, and Jada Pinkett Smith.
– Ten-part mystery event series Gracepoint, starring Welsh BAFTA winner David Tennant, Anna Gunn, Jacki Weaver, Nick Nolte and Michael Peña, joins the schedule on Thursday, Oct. 2 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). The riveting mystery, that will be resolved in 10 parts, follows a tragic death, and the major police investigation and nationwide media frenzy that subsequently overtake a picturesque seaside town, where anyone is a suspect.
– Mulaney stars Emmy Award-winning writer and comedian John Mulaney as a rising stand-up comic trying to take his career to the next level, and the friends and mentors, including one played by Martin Short, who lift him up, hold him back and push him around.
