The days when cable networks cowered from the might of the broadcast networks’ promotional machines and stayed away from Fall premiere season are over, and FX today announced start dates for its own Fall shows, in the weeks immediately before and after the broadcast official premiere week of Sept 19-25.
Tuesday Sept 6: SONS OF ANARCHY at 10PM
Thursday Sept 15: IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA at 10PM
Wednesday Oct. 5: AMERICAN HORROR STORY at 10PM. This is one of the most high-profile projects of the Fall, produced by Glee‘s Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. They’re keeping the storyline under wraps, but the strictly A-level cast includes Connie Britton, Jessica Lange and Dylan McDermott.
Thursday, Oct. 6: THE LEAGUE at 10:30PM. One of the little-known gems of the cable comedy world, an semi-improvised, semi-mumblecore, often hysterically funny comedy that centers on a fantasy football league.
Fans of ARCHER should also note that it’s having a special 3-episode Fall run starting Thursday Sept 13 at 10:30PM, setting up the time period for the arrival of THE LEAGUE.
