Winter TV Preview: The 25 Most-Anticipated Shows
If you suspect that TV networks seem to hold their best shows back until midseason these days, well, you're not wrong. This winter, for example, will bring returning (and critically acclaimed) favorites like The X Files and Better Call Saul, while also introducing brand new series from the likes of Louis C.K. and Zach Galifianakis, Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter, and Ryan Murphy, among others.
Below, we highlight 25 intriguing shows scheduled to debut in the months of January and February, listed in order by premiere date. (For information on other upcoming TV debuts in 2016, be sure to visit our TV Premiere Calendar.)
For its slightly longer second season, Agent Carter—which again displaces parent series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for two months—moves from New York to Los Angeles, where Hayley Atwell's titular character will be joined by returning stars James D'Arcy, Chad Michael Murray, and Enver Gjokaj. Newcomers include Ken Marino and Wynn Everett; the latter plays this season's main villain, Whitney Frost/Madame Masque.
