not only but also
And the rest...
travelers
Enrico Colantoni (Veronica
Mars) has joined the fiendishly complex time travel show to try to help sort out the mess its heroes made of the past.
van helsing
Vanessa Helsing continues fighting vampires in a post-apocalyptic world in season two. Missy Peregrym (Rookie Blue) joins the cast, while former ally Axel is now a bloodsucker.
the good place
Should season two of this sleeper hit afterlife sitcom really be called The Bad Place after that phenomenal season one finale twist?
once upon a time
Season seven is a soft reboot of the show, with old characters out, fresh characters in and a new twist on Cinderella.
the librarians
Season four sees Rachel Nichols (Continuum) join the cast as head Librarian Flynn’s former Guardian, presumed dead and mysteriously resurrected.
agents of shield
A shorter, and allegedly cheaper, fifth season of the ever-improving (but sadly audience-shedding) Marvel spin-off will have to explain why season four ended with Coulson manning a space station.
falling water
The slow-moving conspiracy show about people in control of dreams has a brand-new showrunner; somewhat aptly he used to showrun Falling Skies.
ash vs evil dead
The previous showrunner has departed because exec producer Rob Tapert allegedly wanted more horror and less comedy, so expect more horror and less comedy in season three. Oh, and Ash’s daughter.
zapped
The E4 fantasy sitcom (Yonderland without the puppets) returns after an inexplicably brief season one (just three episodes) for six more instalments.
black mirror
Charlie Brooker has teased that season four of his technofear anthology series will be the most kooky sci-fi yet. “I think there’s quite a lot of stuff that’s quite out there,” he told Deadline.
the punisher
Watch out, crime! Netflix spins Daredevil’s gun-happy urban clean-up merchant into his own show.
american horror story
Season seven’s subtitled Cult, and is set in Michigan immediately after the American presidential election in 2016. Well, Trump is the ultimate horror story…
the last man on earth
Fox’s quirky post-apocalyptic comedy narrowly dodged cancellation so season four will have to deal with the (nuclear) fallout from the season three cliffhanger.
z-nation
Syfy’s The Walking Dead for ADD sufferers returns to sort out a messy season three cliffhanger in which, apparently, all the heroes died. Presumably the mysterious, evil Zona group, who killed most of them, will be
the main baddies this year.
extinct
In the far future, aliens have wiped out humanity but decide to resurrect it. It’s written by Ender’s Game’s Orson Scott Card.
dark
German drama which sounds like a Teutonic twist on Les Revenants (weirdy stuff happens in a German town after two kids go missing). It’ll air here on Netflix.
requiem
BBC-produced psychological thriller with supernatural undertones set in a Welsh village.
