The agonising wait is almost over! New episodes of our favourite shows are almost here (or already here in the case of The X-Files, but fans seem quite unhappy about that). This list is not for those shows which have gone on a mid-season break, but for those shows that are coming back with not just brand new episodes, but brand new seasons. Which means all new stories and perhaps all new characters for us to love or hate or both.

For the TL;DR of this list, watch the video above.
