Timeless (Monday at 10 p.m. ET)
A thrilling action-adventure series in which a mysterious criminal steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America as we know it by changing the past. Our only hope is an unexpected team: a scientist, soldier and history professor who must use the machine’s prototype to travel back in time to critical events. While they must make every effort not to affect the past themselves, they must also stay one step ahead of this dangerous fugitive. Can this handpicked team uncover the mystery behind it all and end his destruction before it’s too late? Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Goran Visnjic, Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey and Claudia Doumit will star. Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan will writer and executive-produce with John Davis, John Fox, Marney Hochman and director Neil Marshall.
This Is Us (Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET)
Starring Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia and Sterling K. Brown, this refreshingly honest and provocative series follows a unique ensemble whose paths cross and their life stories intertwine in curious ways. We find several of them share the same birthday, and so much more than anyone would expect. From the writer and directors of Crazy, Stupid, Love. comes a smart, modern dramedy that will challenge your everyday presumptions about the people you think you know. Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan and Ron Cephas Jones also star. Dan Fogelman will write and executive-produce with Jess Rosenthal, Charlie Gogolak and directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra.

With the help of her wise newfound afterlife mentor (Ted Danson), she’s determined to shed her old way of living and discover the awesome (or at least the pretty good) person within. William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, Manny Jacinto and D’Arcy Carden also star. Michael Schur will write and executive-produce with David Miner.
