Personally, I am excited to watch my Law & Order, especially SVU and Abbott Elementary. They are my comfort shows and particularly excited for a one-hour premiere special for Abbott! As for new shows, I’m most interested in Expats which will be a new show with Nicole Kidman and Jack Houston.
Which ones are you looking most forward to?
