Who: Noah Hawley (creator); Dan Stevens, Jean Smart, Aubrey Plaza

What: Yet another Marvel TV show (though, given the X-Men connection, likely not part of the MCU). This will focus on David Haller, a mutant diagnosed with schizophrenia (who also happens to be the son of Charles Xavier).

Why: It should be a different twist on the superhero TV genre, and the trailers make this look like an absolute trip. Really, it seems utterly insane, but in a good way. Dan Stevens has proven himself an actor of real quality, and Hawley has done some incredible work on Fargo, so hopefully he can recreate that magic here.

Where & When: FX, February 8

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
