We’re eight weeks into 2020, which means the rollout of midseason TV shows is in full swing.

While fall brought with it the returns of your favorite broadcast shows — and the debuts of several new ones — the colder months mark the time when many of those shows go into hibernation and fresh programming wakes up.

Because the broadcast networks are now gearing up to launch several new shows — and to bring back a lot of your faves — TheWrap has rounded up the list of broadcast’s Winter/Midseason 2020 premiere dates.

We’ve got launch days for new shows like NBC’s “Council of Dads,” CBS’ “Broke,” Fox’s “Duncanville,” ABC’s “For Life,” and The CW’s “Riverdale” spinoff series, “Katy Keene.”

And we know when oldies but goodies will come back with new seasons, including NBC’s “Songland,” ” Fox’s “Mental Samurai,”” CBS’ “Man With a Plan,” ABC’s “American Idol,” and The CW’s “Roswell, New Mexico.”
