Spring TV Preview: 25 Shows to Watch
Even without Game of Thrones (which doesn't return until summer), this is a loaded spring TV season. Some of the small screen's best shows—including Fargo, The Americans, Veep, Better Call Saul, Review, and the newly revived Mystery Science Theater 3000—return, joined by pedigreed newcomers like Iron Fist, American Gods, I Love Dick, Feud, and The Handmaid's Tale.
Below, browse the most notable new and returning shows debuting between now and mid-May, ordered by date. And for more premiere dates and details on every upcoming show (including those not profiled here), visit our 2017 TV Premiere Calendar.
On paper, it looks like Hulu's most interesting original series to date. This 10-episode drama is based on the acclaimed Margaret Atwood novel of the same name that's set in a dystopian near future where a fundamentalist, totalitarian regime called Gilead has overthrown the United States government and stripped women of many freedoms. (It doesn't hurt that the subject matter is suddenly timelier than ever.)
Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss heads an excellent cast that also features Yvonne Strahovski, Joseph Fiennes, Samira Wiley, Max Minghella, Alexis Bledel, and Ann Dowd.
