The Biggest Risks of the Fall TV Season

The Biggest Risks of the Fall TV Season

For as many anticipated TV shows as there are in the upcoming fall season, there are also a few new shows that are taking risk, particularly new comedies. ET breaks down the biggest-risk shows of the fall season.

Anticipation has been mounting for comedic actress Anna Faris' TV series in Mom, but the show is a big risk as a new comedy in a TV market that is saturated with well-established comedy series giants.

However, fortunately for Faris and her co-star Allison Janney (The West Wing), Mom is backed by immensely successful comedy series cultivator Chuck Lorre, who boasts top comedies The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men to his name.

Similar to Mom, another star-led comedy series that assumes risk alongside its potential success is Sean Saves the World, featuring former Will & Grace star Sean Hayes.
