It will be a very busy winter on the smaller screens, with a number of shows coming back after two- or three-year gaps because of the writers’ and actors’ strikes of 2023. A few of the more hotly awaited returnees, like “Severance” and “Andor,” are included in this chronological list of premieres.

But the focus is on the new and unknown: What will we get from Robert De Niro’s first American series (Netflix’s “Zero Day”) or from the first scripted television show from the great director Marco Bellocchio (“Exterior Night” on MHz Choice)? That’s where the excitement lies. (All dates are subject to change.)

‘American Primeval’

In a new western that looks to fall at the gothic-violence end of the spectrum, Betty Gilpin plays a woman trying to cross the Wasatch Mountains — through a gantlet of bandits, wolves, marauding tribes and “riled-up Mormons” — with the help of a hard-boiled guide played by Taylor Kitsch. The show’s writer, Mark L. Smith, worked with Alejandro G. Iñárritu on the screenplay for the notably gruesome western “The Revenant.” (Netflix, Jan. 9)

‘Severance’ImageGwendoline Christie (“Game of Thrones”) is among the impressive group of actors to join “Severance” for Season 2.Credit...Jon Pack/Apple TV+

This elaborate, poker-faced, often dead-on satire of American office life — contained in a life-supporting matrix of sci-fi conspiracy thriller — returns after a three-year hiatus. Can it maintain its delicate balance with the same panache across a 10-episode second season? An impressive array of new performers joins the cast, including Bob Balaban, Gwendoline Christie, Alia Shawkat and Merritt Wever. (Apple TV+, Jan. 17)

‘Star Trek: Section 31’

If you thought — correctly — that “Star Trek: Discovery” did not have enough Michelle Yeoh across its five seasons, this spinoff offers an all-too-brief corrective. Starring Yeoh as the alternate-universe, secret-agent version of her character Philippa Georgiou, it was developed as a series but has ended up a made-for-streaming film. (Paramount+, Jan. 24)
