Television favorites like The Walking Dead, Parks and Recreation and Always Sunny in Philadelphia are all set to return to the airwaves a lot sooner than you might think. Better get caught up fast.
Many of the shows on this list had their midseason finales just a few months ago, but now that it's 2015, it's only a matter of time before a huge batch of shows once again start to premiere new episodes. While this list is fairly comprehensive, there are some notable absences, such as Game of Thrones, which will be returning in the first half of this year (likely in April) but HBO has yet to release an official date.
If you are looking for something brand new to watch you are also in luck. Plenty of brand new shows are premiering for the first time in the next five months, ranging from sci-fi thrillers like 12 Monkeys to AMC's Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul. Check out the full list (via EW) of debuting and returning shows below.
