Courtesy IMDB

This Sunday, November 17, kicks off the two-night premiere of Fox’s new futuristic series, “Almost Human.” If you were wondering if you wanted to add another show to your watch-list, Fox just released a nice and extended movie-style trailer. They've also released the first seven minutes of the first episode, so we've provided that as well.

Set in the year 2048, the show pairs humans with androids and is executive produced by J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman. Wyman served as showrunner for “Fringe” so we’re curious to see if “Fringe” fans follow.

Here's the official synopsis:
"Almost Human" – Executive-produced by Emmy Award winner J.J. Abrams (“Fringe,” “Lost,” the “Star Trek” and “Mission: Impossible” franchises) and creator J.H. Wyman (“Fringe,” “The Mexican”) and starring Karl Urban (“Star Trek”), Michael Ealy (“Sleeper Cell,” “Common Law”) and Emmy Award nominee Lili Taylor (“Six Feet Under,”"The Conjuring"), "Almost Human" is a high-tech, high-stakes action drama set 35 years in the future, when police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. An unlikely partnership is forged when a part-machine cop (Urban) is forced to pair with a part-human robot (Ealy) as they fight crime and investigate a deeper cover-up in a futuristic new world.

Two of the four new pilots the Fox Network has just announced they're ordering are making us very happy.
They all actually sound interesting but two delve into the realm of the paranormal.

According to E! Online, one of the busiest men in show biz, J.J. Abrams, will be teaming with J.H. Wyman (Fringe) and Bryan Burke on the drama, Almost Human.

Almost Human is described by E! as a "buddy cop show set in a future where all LAPD officers are paired with human-like androids." The series will star Karl Urban (Star Trek Into Darkness), Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights), and Lili Taylor (The Conjuring).

Meanwhile, the executive producers of Fringe will be also deliver Sleepy Hollow. We love the sound of this series which is a "modern-day retelling of Washington Irving's classic tale finds Icabod Crane (Tom Mison) time-traveling two and a half centuries and teaming with a police officer to save humanity.

There is no news on when these shows will start shooting or will air but you can be sure we’ll be keeping an eye on them.
