TIMELESS (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Shana, Araceli and Luciana). “?I was sold on the time travel front, but it’s also Goran Visnjic. The ER fan in me is thrilled to see him again,” Luciana said. In TIMELESS, a very bad man steals a time machine and hops back to the Hindenburg disaster to try and change history. Three people — a history teacher, a soldier and an engineer — are also sent back to stop him. And thus likely begins a chase through time. But there’s something very odd going on here that only this bad man seems to truly understand — because the history teacher might be crucial to what’s happening. TIMELESS will air on Mondays at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT this fall on NBC.

PITCH (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Brianna, Shana, Araceli and Clarissa). “It’s all about the girl power!” Shana said. And that’s exactly what PITCH is about: the first female professional baseball player. Ginny Baker is doing her best to represent her gender and make her father proud when she’s given an opportunity that no other woman has had. But can she prove she deserves her spot? It’s a female empowerment show and a show about teamwork and family. PITCH will air on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.

STILL STAR-CROSSED (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Melissa, Shana and Araceli). This show is a “new spin on an old favorite,” Melissa said. STILL STAR-CROSSED is about what happened after infamous young lovers Romeo and Juliet killed themselves. What became of their families? What became of the City of Verona? There’s unrest in the streets as the Montagues and the Capulets continue their lasting feud, while the Prince of Verona tries to bring about peace via an arranged marriage. Shondaland has proven it can churn out fun and buzz-worthy shows and while STILL STAR-CROSSED is a departure from their typical fare, we’re willing to give it a chance. STILL STAR-CROSSED will premiere at midseason on ABC.

RIVERDALE (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Melissa, Brianna, Araceli and Clarissa). “[It’s a] teen drama with a twist,” Rebecca said. Not a single trailer has been released yet for this new show, but the premise is intriguing everyone. This is not your typical Archie story. This is a look at a small town where people are hiding secrets and doing very bad things and that alone has piqued our interest. RIVERDALE will premiere at midseason on The CW.
