What’s Coming Up: ABC’s five-week comedy extravaganza returns with Galavant (Joshua Sasse) headed on a journey to take King Richard (Timothy Omundson) back to his home kingdom. But fear not, Galabella fans, the dashing knight hero won’t be gone for long. Exec producer Kat Likkel says Galavant’s “main goal is to turn around, raise an army, and rescue Isabella, his one true love.” And just in case your memory is a little foggy, the first episode will kick off with a giant musical number that’ll catch everyone up on where all the characters are now.

A Battle to Behold: In addition to more guest star power (Hugh Bonneville, John Stamos, and “Weird Al” Yankovic will all be back), the new season will feature an epic battle between three competing armies, shot in Morocco. “We were filming where Lawrence of Arabia was shot,” Likkel says. “It’s exciting as television’s only musical comedy, we’re shooting a giant battle of three armies in Morocco.” — Victoria Leigh Miller

It’s a new year, and 2016 brings us a slew of new shows to watch, dissect, binge, and obsess over.

Mega stars Jennifer Lopez and Joan Allen headline the thrillers Shades of Blue and The Family, while spinoffs Legends of Tomorrow and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders extend familiar universes. FX and Ryan Murphy take us back to the mid-’90s with a dramatized look at “The Trial of the Century” in American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson, while MTV leaps into the future with the sci-fi/fantasy epic The Shannara Chronicles.

And we can also look forward to new seasons of returning favorites, like the acclaimed Better Call Saul and The Americans. The characters of Girls are still trying to navigate life as twentysomethings in New York, while the 40-year-old lead of Younger tries to do the same. And the walking disasters of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia are just trying to stay upright. Cheers to the new year and new TV!
