Winter TV Preview: 20 Notable Shows
Are you ready for not one, not two, but three different reinventions of the comic book TV series? How about period dramas starring Tom Hardy and Christina Ricci? A look at the life of another English queen, or a fictitious American pope? The return of The Good Wife and 24? Or perhaps all you need is a Series of Unfortunate Events.
Those concepts and more are headed to the small screen between now and early March. Find details on 20 noteworthy upcoming shows (both new and returning series, plus miniseries) below, ordered by date. And, for more premiere dates and details on every upcoming show (including those not profiled here), visit our 2017 TV Premiere Calendar.
One of the more intriguing comic book projects to reach the small-screen in recent years (if not ever), Legion is set in the X-Men universe and comes from Fargo creator/showrunner Noah Hawley. Not only does he bring a fresh viewpoint (and welcome dark humor) to a tired genre, but he also has created a visually innovative series, according to observers who have seen the pilot.
The cast is excellent. Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey) stars as the title character, a man diagnosed with schizophrenia at a young age who has been in and out of metal hospitals in the years since. (Oh, and he happens to be the mutant son of Charles Xavier.) Joining him are Aubrey Plaza, Rachel Keller, Jean Smart, Katie Aselton, Jemaine Clement, and Bill Irwin.
