While the rest of us are stuffing our faces with mince pies, The CW is planning a big return for several key shows next month.

Continuing Arrow's eighth and final season, archery supremo Oliver Queen will put on the Green Arrow suit once again on Tuesday, January 21, after the climactic Arrowverse crossover 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' wraps up the week before.

As to what state he'll be in come premiere day, we'll have to wait and see.

Meanwhile, season 15 of Supernatural will be well rested, with the first episode after the midseason break arriving on Thursday, January 16.

Will there be any more twists like this awaiting fans once the New Year rolls in?

Following that major Jughead revelation in season 4's midseason finale, Riverdale returns to the small screen on Wednesday, January 22 – so let's hope it picks up right where we left off.

The CW has plenty more popular titles up its sleeve too, as Batwoman flies back into view on Sunday, January 19, while Nancy Drew, Legacies and Charmed all have premiere dates on the previous Wednesday, Thursday and Friday respectively.

That'll definitely get you through the January blues.
