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.)
Consistently one of TV's best shows, FX's critically lauded spy drama finally returns for its fourth season this month, a bit later than it typically airs. Events will pick up right after last season's finale—with a notable change in the Jennings' family dynamics—and season 3 newcomer Frank Langella will return as the KGB handler Gabriel. Critics have already hinted that the new season gets off to a terrific start.
