New Yorkers are in for a treat this coming September, The New York Television Festival (NYTVF) announced its line-up for its third annual Premiere Week featuring special screenings of new and returning shows this fall. Participating network partners are ABC, FOX, CBS, Media Rights Capital (MRC), The CW, NBC and HBO. The Premiere Week will start on September 12 to 17 at the New World Stages in Midtown Manhattan.

Monday, September 15, 8 PM: NBC’s “Life”
On Monday, September 15th, the NYTVF offers a special sneak-peek fan screening of the premiere episode of the sophomore police drama, “Life.” Tickets to this event are free and open to the public. “The second season of “Life” premieres Monday, September 29th on NBC before moving to its new timeslot on Fridays at 10 PM ET.
“Life,” from Rand Ravich (”The Astronaut’s Wife”) and Far Shariat (”Confessions of a Dangerous Mind”), focuses on a detective who is given a second chance. Golden Globe nominee Damian Lewis (”Band of Brothers”) plays complex, offbeat Detective Charlie Crews, who returns to the force after serving time in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Crews’ new lease on life has provided him with a Zen-like outlook, peace of mind and no need for vengeance, an attitude which can be challenging to maintain when someone he cares about is threatened — or when he is investigating the mystery surrounding the murder he was falsely accused of.
