We’re almost a week into the New Year and we hope you’ve been keeping to your resolutions, but let’s face it- we all need some quality time to relax and just veg out. Frankly, it can feel pretty good to be a couch potato. That doesn’t mean you have to go crazy with junk food and stare at the TV for an entire day, but sometimes a few hours in front of the tube feels like it’s just what the doctor ordered.

With the amount of shows returning and premiering this post-holiday winter season, there is certainly no shortage of quality entertainment to tune in for. That can pose a problem in and of itself with so many different shows and premiere dates to keep track of, so we wanted to provide you with a complete rundown of when your favorite (and potentially new favorite) series will make its winter premiere.

Fair warning, it’s lengthy! There are an enormity of season premieres, series premieres and midseason returns these next few months, so take a look at what is in store for you and what night’s you won’t want to miss (or if you just want to know a specific show’s premiere date CTRL+F the title and find out!) in the full schedule below!

Be sure to let us know what your most excited to catch new episodes of and, most of all, happy watching!
