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.)
Are you ready for a 21st century Bill & Ted? Airing across three consecutive nights (beginning, naturally, on 4/20), this comedy miniseries comes from the Broad City trio of Ilana Glazer, Paul W. Downs, and Lucia Aniello, and stars Glazer and Downs as stoners who travel through time thanks to a magical bong. It's based on a CollegeHumor short the pair released in 2012.
