Best New Broadcast Shows of 2015: Shows We Are Glad Got the Greenlight for Next Year

Bring in the New Year right with a celebration of your favorite broadcast shows returning in 2016. MStars has been dedicated to keeping you in the loop with the new broadcast shows "renewed" or "cancelled" status. Now, we are bringing you a Top 5 list of shows we are glad got the greenlight for next year. This comes just in time for you to steal your bestie's Hulu log-in to catch up on the first season and set your DVR's for next season's line up.

First on the list of shows making a joyous return is NBC's Blindspot starring Jaimie Alexander. Alexander plays a mystery woman, Jane Doe and Sullivan Stapleton as FBI agent, Kurt Weller. This freshman drama's plot unfolds when Jane Doe is discovered naked in Times Square alive in a body bag covered in tattoos with no recollection of how she got there. Soon FBI agents realize each tattoo on her body unlocks a clue to solve crimes. As previously reported by MStars, Blindspot has held the #1 spot for new fall broadcast shows among 18-49 audience. Stay tuned as the Season 2 release date is still TBD.

In second place comes ABC's Quantico, another FBI centered drama that follows a diverse group of agents after their arrival at "Quantico" Headquarters for training. The show stars Josh Hopkins as Liam O'Connor and Priyanka Chopra as Alex Parrish as they train to become special agents and unveil a fellow agent who is a suspected 9/11 terrorist. Be on the lookout for Quantico next year as it has held the No. 1 spot among Sunday scripted broadcast shows on adults 18-49. Quantico is definitely a DVR keeper as it has been making headlines for playback viewing this season. No word yet on when the season 2 will return to ABC.

The third place season renewal celebration goes to Rosewood on FOX. This trending lead-in to Empire, is already booked to return March 2 of next year. The freshman drama stars Morris Chestnut who performs exceptionally well on what maybe one of the most competitive nights on television. In Rosewood, Morris Chestnut plays a top Miami private pathologist, Dr. Beaumont Rosewood who partners with Detective Annalise Villa (Jaina Lee Ortiz) to help uncover clues, solving the city's most challenging cases. In October, Fox issued a full season order for Rosewood, marking the second time a rookie program has been renewed by the network. If you missed Rosewood season 1, full episodes are available on FoxNow.

The fourth new broadcast show worthy of a "Clap, Clap Bravo!" is SuperGirl on CBS already set for return on January 4 at 8pm! This comic book based drama stars Melissa Benoist who plays Superman's cousin that's forced to keep her powers a secret and find her place on planet earth. Supergirl maintained an average of 11 million viewers throughout its season and earned exceptional ratings on the adult 18-49 and 25-54 demos. Supergirl is written and produced by Greg Berlanti who is also the mastermind behind Arrow and The Flash. As previously reported by MStars, this show runner has lots of Supergirl and Arrowverse fans wondering about a crossover episode next year.

Finally, to round out the Top 5 list of shows we can't wait to see in 2016 is the hilarious scripted comedy, Dr. Ken on ABC. This new sitcom will return to ABC January 8 at 8:30pm. Dr. Ken stars Ken Jeong (Hangover) who also executive produces the show. The concept for the show is based on Jeong's real life experience of being a doctor before becoming a comedian. In the show, Dr. Ken tries his best to be a great doctor, but drives everyone at home crazy with his flippant personality. Comedic legend, Tisha Campbell-Martin, is also on the show as Damona, the hospital receptionist. Dr. Ken was nominated this year for Favorite New TV Comedy in the People's Choice Awards. If you missed season 1, full episodes are available on ABCGO.
