10 Most Anticipated Returning Shows

The Walking Dead

10. The Walking Dead (Oct. 7, AMC)

Yes. we're curious to see how Andrew Lincoln's Rick will be written out. And, yes, we're intrigued about Lauren Cohan's midseason vanishing act. But, truth be told, it's the shift in action to Washington  D.C. that has us most excited about Season 9.

The Good Place - Season 2

5. Murphy Brown (Sept. 27, CBS)

This is the rare revival that feels like it has a reason to exist. Here's hoping Murph and the gang can still make lightning strike, 20 years later. 

Trent?!

4. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (Oct. 12, The CW)

Yes, it's the final season, but it's the unorthodox — one might say crazy — Greg recast that has us most intrigued. We're not quite sure how the hell they're going to pull it off, but they have our attention! 

This Is Us - Season 2

3. This Is Us (Sept. 25, NBC)

How do you follow up a doozy of a flashback mystery? By introducing multiple, equally compelling flash-forward mysteries. 

House of Cards

2. House of Cards (Nov. 2, Netflix)

It's her turn and we are ready for it. (Truth is, we've been ready for it since Season 1).

roseanne-season-11-the-conners

1. The Conners (Oct. 16, ABC)

Technically, this Roseanne spinoff is a new series, but, let's be real, it's the same damn program, save for one (admittedly) glaring tweak. Can the show go on without its iconic matriarch? We're dying to find out.
