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.)
NBC is returning comedy to its Thursday night lineup—in a way. A co-production with the UK's Sky 1, this 10-episode dramedy event series from Beaver Falls creator Iain Hollands is set in the days after the public learns that a massive comet is on a collision course with Earth and will wipe out nearly all life on the planet in just over a month's time. A diverse group of people—including a foul-mouthed priest played by Rob Lowe, Jenna Fischer's mild mannered librarian, and an unhinged white supremacist played by Megan Mullally—hunker down in a bunker east of London to watch the end of the world on TV and eke out a new society.
