There's a fantastic crop of talent starring on new television shows this fall.

Business Insider took a look at the pilots, canvassed the first-look clips, and chose a pretty dynamic list of newbies to watch over the next few months.

This year's list represents some real dedication among TV producers to reflect diversity in their casting. It also includes actors and actresses you may recognize from some of your favorite shows already.

Unlike our list of fall TV's biggest stars, these people have yet to lead a series (though some will do that now) or become a household name. But among fall's freshman class, these are the talented people who will likely become the center of water-cooler conversations.

Meet 10 fresh faces of the fall 2016 TV season:

Chrissy Metz, 'This Is Us' (NBC)

You may recognize Chrissy Metz from FX's "American Horror Story: Freak Show" as Barbara, aka the "Fat Lady."

On "This Is Us," she plays Karen, who struggles with an eating disorder and romantic issues.

William Jackson Harper, 'The Good Place' (NBC)

Since 2007, William Jackson Harper has appeared in small roles on several TV shows including "Person of Interest," "The Blacklist," and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

On "The Good Place," he plays Kristen Bell's charismatic guide to heaven.

Kylie Bunbury, 'Pitch' (Fox)

Last seen on CBS's now canceled "Under the Dome," Kylie Bunbury also starred on Spike TV's first scripted project, "Tut."

This fall, she heads up her own show as Ginny, the first female pitcher for the San Diego Padres, on Fox's "Pitch."
