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.)
Few cable networks can match the recent success streak of Comedy Central, whose new shows have scored big with critics over the past few years. Their latest original scripted series began life as a web exclusive and now moves to television in expanded form. Created by Jillian Bell (Workaholics) and Charlotte Newhouse, Idiotsitter stars the latter as a broke Ivy League grad who takes a job "babysitting" a fully grown heiress (Bell), who is living under house arrest in her father's mansion. Stephen Root and Jennifer Elise Cox also star. The debut episode is already streaming online.
