ABC, KVS/PacificCoastNews, The CW, Kevork Djansezian/Getty ImagesHappy 2016!
A new year is upon us, and it brings along with it our reason for living: television!
Not only will our favorite shows start returning as soon as yesterday, but we're also about to be introduced to a whole new crop of shows to obsess over in the new year, like the time travel epic Legends of Tomorrow or true crime drama American Crime Story.
While there are a few shows that are rudely making us wait until February or even March to satisfy our constant desire for more, they will all be back before you know it, because we're pretty sure time is moving faster than ever before and we're all just hurtling towards the future at an uncontrollable speed.
Anyway, here's a really helpful guide that tells you exactly when all of your favorite shows will premiere or return. You're welcome, and happy new year!
P.S. Don't forget to also check out our list of 15 TV events we can't wait for in 2016.
