2016 Midseason Premiere Schedule: Dates For New And Returning Shows

Mark your calendars!

Mark your calendars! Midseason TV dates are here. The winter hiatus is one of the worst times of the year for TV fans. Sure, many of us are probably too busy around the holidays to tune in for a slew of TV shows and specials, but because shows leave the air for a big chunk of the winter, fans are often left on big cliffhangers, including deaths, secret love affairs and more. The good news? We can already tell you when some of your favorites will be coming back.

The schedule is a work in progress, and dates are subject to change as we head into the fall season. If there's a new or returning show you don't see on here, feel free to leave a comment and we'll see if we can dig up the date for you! Please note that the networks announce new and returning premiere dates at their own pace, so some dates may not be available, yet. Finally, brand new shows are listed in ALL CAPS. If you are looking for dates for the upcoming summer shows, we have you covered with our summer TV premiere schedule.
