The series premieres Wednesday, Jan. 8, at 8/7c on ABC.
American Primeval
“We would get snowed on and we’d have to stop shooting, lightning strikes close enough to stop, windstorms, dust storms,” American Primeval executive producer Peter Berg says of shooting the gritty period drama about the exploration of the American West. “Weather and mother nature were our biggest obstacles.” Betty Gilpin (GLOW) and Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights) star.

The Hunting Party
Whatever former FBI profiler Rebecca “Bex” Henderson (played by Melissa Roxburgh, Manifest) sees on the other side of that window sure seems to give her pause, and with good reason: She and her team are on the trail of the world’s most dangerous serial killers, all of whom have escaped from “The Pit,” a top-secret government prison that isn’t supposed to exist. (See more here.) The series will premiere on Monday, Feb. 3, at 10/9c on NBC.

(See more here.) The series premieres Tuesday, March 4, on Disney+.
Doctor Odyssey
The back-half of the drama’s first season will see the return of horny widow Heather (played by country music icon Shania Twain) as she boards the boat for a second time after making quite the flirtatious splash during Singles Week. And from the looks of it, she still has her sights set on Don Johnson’s Massey. (See more here.) Season 1 resumes on Thursday, March 6, at 9/8c on ABC.
Douglas Is Cancelled
Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey) and Karen Gillan (Doctor Who) play co-anchors of a TV-news broadcast in the drama, which hails from Steven Moffat (Sherlock, Doctor Who) and, per the official logline, is “a timely series about gender politics and trial by social media.” (See more here.)

The Chi Season 7
Alicia (played by Lynn Whitfield, center) sure seems to have bounced back since finding her son’s dead body on her doorstop at the end of Season 6, if this photo of her getting down with Jada (Yolonda Ross) and Tracy (Tai Davis) is any indication. (See more here.) Season 7 is slated to premiere sometime in 2025 on Paramount+ With Showtime.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood
Long before they were Jamie’s uncles on Outlander, Colum and Dougal MacKenzie were young men figuring out their place at Castle Leoch and in their clan, and we’ll get to know them (played by Rebus‘ Seamus McLean Ross and Coronation Street‘s Sam Retford, respectively) better when the prequel Blood of My Blood gets underway. (See more here.) The series is slated to premiere sometime in 2025 on Starz.
The Sandman Season 2
Morpheus (played by Tom Sturridge) certainly looks like he’s ready for battle in the photo above — which would make sense, given that Season 2 will feature even more members of his unruly, highly volatile (and powerful) family than did Season 1. (See more here.) Season 2 is slated to premiere sometime in 2025.
School Spirits Season 2
Four key characters will join the drama in Season 2: Nicole’s college-aged older brother Diego (played by Zack Calderon); Janet Hamilton (Jess Gabor), the ghost who hijacked Maddie’s body; a marching band member from the 2000s named Quinn (Ci Hang Ma) who died in the school’s infamous bus crash; and Yuri (Miles Elliot), a ghost from the 1970s who crosses paths with Charley.
