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.)
Showtime's new Wall Street drama doesn't lack for star power. Damian Lewis (Homeland) plays a charismatic hedge fund manager who is placed under investigation by an ambitious U.S. Attorney (Paul Giamatti), and the cast also features Maggie Siff, Malin Akerman, and David Costabile. The 12-episode series comes from journalist/author Andrew Ross Sorkin (Too Big to Fail) and the screenwriting team of David Levien and Brian Koppelman (Ocean's Thirteen), while Neil Burger (Limitless) directs. The first episode is now available free On Demand or via Amazon .
