Fans of The Irrational and Accused will have to wait just a bit longer for their shows to return this fall. The airing of the Vice-Presidential debate on NBC and FOX is causing the networks to push back the premieres of those two shows one week, to October 8th.

Jesse L. Martin, Maahra Hill, Arash DeMaxi, Molly Kunz, Travina Springer, and Brian King star in The Irrational series on NBC. The story follows Professor Alec Mercer (Martin) as he lends his unique “insight and unconventional approach to understanding human behavior” to various high-stakes cases involving governments, law enforcement, and corporations.

As for Accused, the FOX anthology series has a new cast for each episode. The installments follow a different crime in a different city, using flashbacks to show what happened. Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Nick Cannon, Michael Chiklis, Taylor Schilling, Justin Chambers, and Danny Pino are set to appear in various episodes of season two, according to Deadline.

What do you think? Are you excited about the second season returns of these shows this fall?
