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.)
Freeform—the new name for the network formerly known as ABC Family—jumps into the fantasy genre for the first time with this adaptation of Cassandra Clare's young adult book series The Mortal Instruments (which was previously adapted—poorly—for the big screen in 2013). Originally expected to focus on the first novel (City of Bones, also the source for the movie), the 13-episode first season will instead draw from events throughout the book series and will also include new characters created by showrunner Ed Decter (Unforgettable).
