Fox has released the new trailer for Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse," starring Eliza Dushku. Watch it below and the show's synopsis follows:

Joss Whedon, creator of groundbreaking cult favorites "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly," returns to television and reunites with fellow "Buffy" alumna Eliza Dushku for a thrilling new drama, DOLLHOUSE.

ECHO (Dushku) is an "Active," a member of a highly illegal and underground group of individuals who have had their personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas. Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don't just perform their hired roles, they wholly become - with mind, personality and physiology - whomever the client wants or needs them to be. Whether imprinted to be a lover, an assassin, a corporate negotiator or a best friend, the Actives know no other life than the specific engagements they are in at that time.

Confined between missions to a secret facility known as the "Dollhouse," Echo and the other Actives including SIERRA (Dichen Lachman) and VICTOR (Enver Gjokaj) are assigned engagements by ADELLE (Olivia Williams), one of the Dollhouse leaders. After each scenario, Echo, always under the watchful eye of her handler BOYD (Harry Lennix), returns to the mysterious Dollhouse where her thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowledge are erased by TOPHER (Fran Kranz), the Dollhouse's genius programmer.

Echo enters the next scenario with no memory of before. Or does she?

As the series progresses, FBI Agent PAUL BALLARD (Tahmoh Penikett) pieces together clues that lead him closer to the Dollhouse, while Echo stops forgetting, her memories begin to return and she slowly pieces together her mysterious past.

Even when i first heard about this a couple months ago it didnt work for me, i like Joss Whedon and Dushku isnt bad either but this doesnt peak my interest but i kind of want it to.

I'll give this a chance b/c of Dushku, certainly not Whedon. The only thing missing from the voiceover was "From Joss Whedon ... the man who brought you ANGEL and BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER ... from the man who still cries openly about FIREFLY ..."

Most original series of the year... My Own Worst Enemy 2: The Return of Tru Calling?

My own worst enemy is about a man suffering from involuntary delusional identity disorder, split personalities. This show is entirely different. The character is being programmed to fulfill individuals fantasies. In reality it's more like a sick memory erasing bordello or whorehouse. Only, they aren't only or to my knowledge even used for sex but rather for operations and so on. It obviously has similar characteristics to other shows in the past, but look at your calenders. Notice what year it is? Television and for that matter screenplays have been around for over 100 years now. Not to mention, stories have been around since the beginning of time. In a world of crappy remakes and cringe-worthy 're-envisionings' of perfectly good movies (Halloween, Friday the thirteenth (not so much)and tv shows, whose to complain when we at least get something that stands out a little? I say we give it a chance. Can't hurt any more than Knight Rider and the Bionic Woman ::Shudders::

Slater's show and this one the same? What?? lol Has that guy even seen either one? Anyway, ditto to what DDDexter said. (nice username, btw)

This trailer is fantastic and far superior to the first one. Can't wait to see the show come January(/February?)
