Spring TV Preview: The 30 Most-Anticipated Shows
Does TV save its best shows for the end of its season? The answer may be yes, given that the next few months will see the returns of acclaimed programs like The Americans, Game of Thrones, Veep, and Catastrophe. There are also some promising newcomers headed to the small screen in the coming weeks, including several Netflix comedies, the latest from Shonda Rhimes, and a drama produced by Steven Soderbergh.
Below, we highlight 30 intriguing shows scheduled to debut between now and early May, listed in order by premiere date. (For information on other upcoming TV debuts, visit our TV Premiere Calendar.)
James Purefoy, Michael K. Williams, and Christina Hendricks star in this six-episode series based on Joe R. Lansdale's book series. A bit like Fargo crossed with Dukes of Hazzard, this twisted, darkly comedic crime tale is set in East Texas in the late 1980s and features plenty of oddball characters. Series creators Jim Mickle and Nick Damici previously adapted another Lansdale novel into the well-received feature film Cold in July, and early reviews for this one look fairly promising as well.
