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.

Created by Bryan Cranston along with David Shore (House), and produced by Justified's Graham Yost, this one-time CBS project stars Giovanni Ribisi as a con man who is freed from prison but finds himself targeted by a gangster he once wronged. So he assumes the identity of his cellmate—to the extent that he moves in with the man's family and starts working for the family bail bond business.
Margo Martindale, Marin Ireland, Shane McRae, and Peter Gerety also star, while Cranston guests. Since it comes out of Amazon's usual/unusual development process, the pilot episode is already available to stream.
