Trending Videos

Dying for new episodes of Scandal and Empire? Luckily, our favorite network shows return next month and we're clearing out our DVRs in preparation. But what's even more exciting than Olivia and Fitz's rekindled romance and the battle of the Lyon empire are the crop of new TV shows launching this fall.

We've sorted through all the newbies and narrowed down our favorites. Topping our list is Fox's comedy-horror series, Scream Queens, from the creators of Glee and American Horror Story, about a murderer wreaking havoc on a college campus. The cast is killer too and stars Emma Roberts, Jamie Lee Curtis, Keke Palmer, Lea Michele, and even pop stars Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas.

ABC's high-intensity dramas had us glued to the small screen as well. Quantico stars the stunning Priyanka Chopra and centers on a group of young FBI recruits involved in a national crisis, while Blood & Oil stars Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford and Red Band Society's Rebecca Rittenhouse as a young couple who move to the oil-rich state of North Dakota in hopes of starting a new life.

But just in case you're taking extra precaution when adding to your weekly lineup, we've compared each new show to familiar favorites. If you've tuned in to those, you'll definitely want to tune in to these. So read on for the best of fall's new TV lineup.

Scream Queens

Tuesday, Sept. 22, 9 p.m. ET, Fox
If you love the dynamics of Pretty Little Liars, the humor from Glee, and classic horror films like Friday the 13th, then Scream Queens is the show for you. Created by Ryan Murphy, it follows a group of sorority sisters as a killing spree unfolds on their campus. But don't expect it to be all mysterious murders and scream-out-loud chills—it's just as funny as it is spooky.

Quantico

Sunday, Sept. 27, 10 p.m. ET, ABC
If you watched How to Get Away with Murder last season and loved the hot, young ensemble cast, then Quantico might be right up your alley. It's toplined by Priyanka Chopra and Jake McLaughlin, but also stars an equally gorgeous cast, who all play recruits at the FBI's Quantico base. They're the most vetted group of trainees so it seems impossible that one is suspected of executing a massive attack on New York City. The premise is reminiscent of Homeland and the Angelina Jolie-thriller Salt.

Blindspot

Monday, Sept. 21, 10 p.m. ET, NBC
If you love Christopher Nolan's Memento or the procedural elements from The Blacklist, then Blindspot's plot will have you hooked.

Wicked City

Tuesday, Oct. 27, 10 p.m. ET, ABC
If dark dramas about serial killers don't keep you up at night, like Dexter or Aquarius, then the L.A.-based horror series Wicked City is one to watch. Taking place on the Sunset Strip in the 1980s, a young, handsome man (played by Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick) lures women into his car and murders them senselessly, dedicating a song to each of his victims on a local radio station. The show will follow a different case each season, but this one will keep you on the edge of your seat!
