Winter TV Premiere Dates for New and Returning Shows
Here are ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and The CW's winter premiere dates
The holidays are wrapping up, which means there's new TV around the corner. Well, there's always new TV around the corner because we live in a time where you can't escape television, but there's more than normal new TV in the early months of the year as broadcast channels roll out their midseason premieres and bring shows back from their winter hiatuses.
Winter premiere week kicks off at the very top of January, with new shows premiering as early as Sunday, Jan. 2. The premieres continue to roll out through March as The CW extends its schedule to Sundays and TGIT returns on ABC after the conclusion of the event series Women of the Movement. The final season of This Is Us will also kick off in the first week of January, only taking a break for the Winter Olympics in February, until it makes us sob our way to the final episode. The NBC post-Olympics schedule will also include the revival of Law & Order.
It can be hard keeping track of all these premiere dates, new shows, and returns. To help you out, TV Guide compiled all of the broadcast winter premiere dates in one place. Make sure to check your local listings to make sure you have the right channel to tune into.
