2018 TV Preview: 25 Shows to Watch This Winter
If you opt to heat up your winter months with television's warm, glowing, warming glow, you certainly won't run out of options. January and February will see the arrival of new shows from Steven Soderbergh, Alan Ball, Ryan Murphy, Ronald D. Moore, Cary Fukunaga, Alex Gibney, and more. Expect a pair of promising sci-fi shows, a new (but different) DC Comics series, the return of favorites like The X-Files, and even a cartoon look at the Trump presidency. Preview each of the season's most promising new and returning shows in the gallery above.
Debuts January 24 on Paramount Network. Television definitely loves the '90s these days. The latest major news event from that decade to come to the small screen in miniseries form is the infamous 1993 standoff between federal law enforcement and the Branch Davidian cult led by David Koresh (played by Taylor Kitsch) that eventually ended in a raid that left over 70 people dead.
The cast for the six-part series also includes Michael Shannon, John Leguizamo, Andrea Riseborough, Rory Culkin, Melissa Benoist, Paul Sparks, Shea Whigham, Camryn Manheim, and Julia Garner. The high-profile series will also offer a chance to promote the nascent Paramount Network, which takes over from Spike TV on January 18, 2018. (Though the concept of "cable TV network" may also be a relic from the '90s.)
