The holiday season brings specials and reruns, but when January starts, television kicks back into high gear again.

Starting on New Years' Day, the networks will be back to airing new programming to keep you busy when it's cold outside.

The second half of the 2017-2018 TV season will start right at 8 p.m. ET on ABC with The Bachelor, Fox's Lucifer and NBC's The Wall. NBC is also debuting Better Late Than Never's second season that night. New episodes of Fox's The Gifted and The CW's Valor are also on the schedule.

January also brings two big awards shows. The movie awards season kicks off on Jan. 7 with the Golden Globes on NBC. The Grammys will air on CBS on Jan. 28. TNT and TBS will also air the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 21.
