Spring TV Preview: All the Must-Watch Shows of the Season

So much for going outside. Spring 2019 doesn’t only mark the return of some long-awaited series – looking at you, iZombie – it also includes new shows that everyone’s already buzzing about. It’s important to note that Game of Thrones is not mentioned in the below gallery, but that’s because a reminder that the eighth and final season kicks off on HBO on Sunday, April 14, seems a little unnecessary. Not only did Us Weekly publish an Everything to Know about the Final Season article, but here’s a little more: The final season includes six episodes, which span in length from 54-minutes-long to a whopping 82-minutes-long. So, make sure you have your popcorn (or Game of Thrones oreos) ready! Scroll through our gallery below for more dates to add to your TV calendar.

The show also shines a light on the people of color who worked in 16th-century London. (Sunday, May 5, 8 p.m.)
