While some may be enjoying the brief break in our regularly scheduled programming to enjoy the holidays and family fun away from the TV, others are likely itching to know when their favorite shows are returning. We have the schedule here, which not only includes the return dates for shows that kicked off this fall, but also the return and premiere dates for the midseason series, including The Following, Rake, The 100, Sherlock and more.
If you prefer to see January’s dates set up on a calendar, check out TVLine for a grid-look at the first month of the year.
As is always the case, this list is a work in progress, which means dates may change and it's possible we missed your favorite show, so don't hesitate to give us a shout in the comments if there's a series you're looking for that you don't see on our list. We'll do our best to dig up the date. Just note that this list is midseason only, so the cut-off is about April or May the absolute latest. Anything after that falls on the summer schedule. You can also check to see what's been canceled or renewed on our running list here.
