As much as the end of the year feels like a time for reflection, it never hurts to look ahead. (And it really doesn't hurt when the future is full of exciting TV shows.)

January features the return of HBO Max's Emmy-winning series *The Pitt*, as well as the third season of Apple TV's beloved comedy *Shrinking*. Or, if you're waiting for the next *Game of Thrones* spinoff, it's finally time to check out *A Knight of Seven Kingdoms*.

Looking to February, fans can watch the next season of *The Night Agent*, or if reality is more your thing, there's always *Survivor*. And last but not least, the revival you've been waiting for: *Scrubs* is about to be back in your life!
