Back in the foggy mists of early 2020, looking ahead to upcoming winter TV shows was a pleasant exercise in predicting which series might be good. Within a few short months, as we all now know, everything changed. Just as normal routines and rituals were transformed, so was TV, which makes the 2021 winter TV premiere schedule look a bit different than usual.
During the past year, series that we expected to return were put on pause, as the coronavirus pandemic forced productions to shut down. Shows that kept on going eventually adapted as best they could, turning to “bubbles,” frequent testing and other expensive, time-consuming measures intended to create a safe working environment.
