Is there anything particularly different about the slate of shows for fall? Yes and no. Kevin Spacey is gone from House of Cards after allegations of sexual abuse surfaced during the #MeToo movement. Roseanne has become The Conners, in the wake of racist tweets by its former star. The line of movie stars jumping ship for TV shows no signs of abating, with Julia Roberts, Jim Carrey, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Douglas, and Jennifer Garner among the actors starring in new series. And Park Chan-wook, Ben Stiller, and Cary Fukunaga are all directing original miniseries this fall.
