Midseason is in full swing, with the U.S. broadcast and cable networks premiering their new series nearly every day. Traditionally, midseason shows replace those that have been canceled during the fall of the previous year, and they’re often a bit more daring than this shows tried out in the fall.
Below, you’ll find a full list of what’s premiering in the next couple of months, but first let’s take a quick look at the status of those shows that have already launched.
Though it’s early to tell which shows will be renewed or canceled, some are already making waves in the month or so since they’ve debuted.
NBC’s J.Lo-starring drama Shades of Blue — a drama about corrupt cops starring the actress and singer which got a lot of media attention — had a strong premiere, but has faltered a bit since.
Lucifer, a Fox comedy-drama that follows the lord of hell, is off to a strong start.
CW’s Legends of Tomorrow — its third superhero series currently on the air —started strong and has only lost some of its momentum since debuting.
An off-broadcast, Showtime’s financially focused drama Billions has managed to break records for an original series debut for the premium network.
