Here's When the Best Winter 2020 TV Shows Are Premiering
Many winter 2020 TV lineups for new and returning shows, both network and streaming, have officially been announced.
As favorites like Outlander and This Is Us continue, heavy-hitters like Modern Family and The Good Place wrap up their final seasons.
Keep up with all of winter TV premiere dates so far in our guide below. And stay tuned for our spring lineup!
The presents are unwrapped, the decorations are down, and the season of cheesy holiday movies is officially over. Time to hunker down our your other job: Keeping up with TV. This winter, there's an abundance of terrific offerings. Thanks to Apple TV+ and Disney+, the new streaming services on the block, the winter TV lineup is even more packed. We'll help you navigate the onslaught.
In addition to hunkering down with returning favorites like This Is Us, Grey's Anatomy, and Outlander, take a chance on a new show–and possibly future favorite—like Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. Here are the ones we're most amped for, plus all of the premieres for winter 2020 TV.
The Bachelor
Peter Weber, a 28-year-old dimpled pilot, is the star of the 24th season of The Bachelor. The three hour-long premiere, which aired on January 6, promises a season of high drama. In addition to the 30 contestants vying for Peter's heart, former Bachelorette Hannah Brown is hoping for another chance with the man she turned down. Where will the roses land?
Since filming wrapped a month ago, Weber has returned to working as a pilot—and, according to an interview Weber had with Jimmy Kimmel, moved back in with his parents. He knows the answers to all our questions, but we'll have to wait for the finale.
black-ish
With the birth of baby Devante in season 3, the Johnson family has grown since black-ish's premiere in 2014. So has the black-ish universe. The big-hearted sitcom has spawned two spin-off TV shows, with seasons also premiering this winter: mixed-ish follows Bow's (Tracee Ellis Ross) teenage years in a mixed-race family in the '80s; grown-ish captures her daughter, Zoey's (Yara Shahidi), forays into independence in college.
Still, black-ish is where it all began—and it's still going strong. On January 7, catch up with the Johnsons in season 6 of Kenya Barris's ever-entertaining show.
Modern Family
It's the end of an era. After 11 seasons and over 20 Emmys, ABC's groundbreaking sitcom about a very blended (and very modern) family is coming to a close. In the meantime, enjoy the lovable antics of the Dunphy-Pritchett clan—grown by the birth of Haley's twins—in the last batch of mockumentary-style episodes. Stay tuned for the family's voyage to Paris, sure to be as hilarious as it is tear-jerking. Know that the cast is just as sad as you: "It’s a tough goodbye," co-creator Christopher Lloyd told the New York Post. After its mid-season break, Modern Family picks up again on January 8.
Grey's Anatomy
Season 16 (!) of Grey's Anatomy starts again on January 23 with an unmissable spectacle. Grey's Anatomy and Station 19, the hospital drama's second spin-off, merge universes in a two-hour TV special. The hospital drama's most recent episode teased impending disaster: Grey Sloan doctors and Station 19's firefighters are hanging out at Joe's Bar when a car crashes through the window. The special will focus on the fallout of the show's most recent catastrophe.
This Is Us
In the second half of This Is Us's season 4, airing January 14, expect big things for the "Big Three." According to creator Dan Fogelman, the upcoming batch features episodes entirely devoted to Kate (Chrissy Metz), Kevin (Justin Hartley), and Randall (Sterling K. Brown). The show will probably feature its usual wrenching twists, but Fogelman can guarantee one thing: Kevin's settling down at last. "Who [Kevin] winds up with, old flames and new flames, is a big part of our back half of the season and one of the things we will solve by the end of the season," Fogelman told People.
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist
This brand-new NBC drama has a captivating premise. Zoey Clarke (Jane Levy) is a coder who's always felt more comfortable with computers than other people. Then, after a freak event, Zoey finds she can hear other people's inner thoughts—but only as they're expressed in songs. Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls), Skylar Astin (Pitch Perfect), Alex Newell (Glee), Mary Steenburgen, and Peter Gallagher round out the cast of this innovative show, as infectiously likable as a pop song. Technically, the show premieres on February 16, but the pilot is already available to view.
Outlander
Rejoice, Outlander fans: The Droughtlander is almost over. Season 5 of Outlander, out February 16, catches Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe), officially the world's foxiest grandparents, reunited with their daughter, Brianna (Sophie Skelton), in North Carolina. Yet again caught in history, the Frasers' hard-won domestic bliss can't last. The impending Revolutionary War is putting pressure on the life-long ties between Jamie and his godfather Murtagh (Duncan Lacroix), now a fugitive from the Brits.
At least the Frasers have a convenient way of bending the laws of space and time. In the teaser trailer, Claire says it's "safer in the future." Where might they end up for the sake of preserving their family?
