Here's a line-up of shows premiering in the coming weeks.
Quarry
From Steve Golin (producer of Oscar-winning movies Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Spotlight and The Revenant) and Greg Yaitanes (director of TV shows like Lost, Prison Break, House M.D. and Grey’s Anatomy) comes Quarry. The show stars Logan Marshall-Green, Peter Mullan, Jodi Balfour, Edoardo Ballerini and Jamie Hector.
Quarry follows the story of Mac Conway, a Marine who returns home to Memphis from Vietnam in 1972 and finds himself shunned by those he loves and demonised by the public. As he struggles to cope with his experiences at war, Conway is drawn into a network of killing and corruption that spans the length of the Mississippi River.
Quarry premiered on September 14 at 10 pm.
Better Things
The new age comedy series Better Things is created by comedians Louie CK and Pamela Adlon. The cringe-humour television series stars Adlon in the role of a divorced actress embarking on a new journey as she navigates through situations trying to earn a living, raising three daughters all by herself while also having fun with a friend or two and maybe squeezing in some private time once in a while. The show embodies a very real woman in an extremely real world while also throwing in some laughs amidst all the hilarities that life throws at you.
Better Things premiered on September 15 at 10 pm.
This is Us
Dan Fogelman , the man behind Crazy Stupid Love, Tangled, Galavant, Bolt and 17 Again, comes to the small screen with This is Us.
