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.)
After winning an Oscar for his 12 Years a Slave screenplay, John Ridley returned to TV with American Crime, an anthology series that earned the praise of critics in its debut season. This second season (which temporarily displaces Nashville on Wednesday nights) reboots the series with a new setting and story—involving a sexual assault scandal that ensnares two Indiana high schools—but returns much of last year's cast, including Felicity Huffman, Regina King, Timothy Hutton, and Lili Taylor. They're joined by newcomers including Hope Davis and OutKast's Andre Benjamin. You can grab the first episode now (for free) on iTunes.
