Now that summer is finally at a close, we can look forward to moderately cooler months with much cooler television programs. Instead of listing every single new show I'm excited about, I thought I'd highlight a few of the most intriguing. For today, I will focus on shows with a fantasy/sci-fi element.

| Dracula |
Jonathan Rhys Meyers is back as a Victorian era Dracula in NBC's new show conveniently named Dracula. Premiering October 25, the spin on a classic character, especially in the hands of the charisma-overloaded Meyers has promise. Check out the trailer here.

| Almost Human |
I am absolutely ready to geek out over J.J. Abrams's next big show Almost Human. Following a "broken/special" cop played by Karl Urban (Bones in Star Trek) and the almost human robot played by Michael Ealy, Almost Human comes from a long line of great shows from Bad Robot. This looks like the perfect choice for fans of Fringe. Watch the show November 4th, but first check out the trailer here.

| Sleepy Hollow |
Ichabod Crane finds himself plucked from his time and placed in a modern Sleepy Hollow, burdened with the same supernatural problems. Fox's Sleepy Hollow looks rather great and has received a fair amount of buzz. Check it out on September 16th. Watch the trailer here.
 |
| Once Upon a Time in Wonderland |
Once Upon a Time lost a lot of its magic in the second season, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in its Wonderland spinoff Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. I hope it captures the whimsy and romance it alludes to. Watch the trailer here.

| Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D. |
Okay, I have to say I will be at least checking out Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It's a given I shouldn't really have to explain. Watch the trailer here.
