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 3 on Fox. Fox's revival of the beloved series for a 10th season in 2016 after a dozen-year absence was a disappointment for many fans and reviewers, though the six new episodes did produce at least one classic. But series creator Chris Carter claims to have worked out the kinks for this 11th season. It's an encouraging sign that only the premiere and season finale will center on the ongoing storyline, while the remaining eight episodes will be stand-alone adventures.
The original cast (led by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson) returns again, while the new season also includes appearances by Annabeth Gish, Robbie Amell, Lauren Ambrose, Karin Konoval, Barbara Hershey, Brian Huskey, and Haley Joel Osment. Be on the lookout for episode four, a comedic hour written and directed by Darin Morgan (who was responsible for the aforementioned one great season 10 episode, "Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster"). Another episode will serve as an origin story for Mitch Pileggi’s Director Skinner.
