How did we miss this? The Chicago-set “Shameless” returns to Showtime in January, and we can already start piecing together what’s going to happen with the Gallagher clan through a few new teaser videos released last week.
1.) Fiona probably still has terrible taste in men, this time with a much older guy played by Dermot Mulroney.
2.) Frank is alive. And still an asshole–this time concocting some sort of scheme with prosthetics?
3.) Finally! Jimmy is maybe, probably back. (We saw in the previous season that he is, indeed, alive and hiding from anyone in his former life.)
4.) Lip and Mickey have discovered assault rifles.
5.) Gentrification! A coffee shop and a yoga studio have opened in the ‘hood, and the Gallaghers aren’t happy about it. (See: previous note about assault rifles.) “Organic beans and lesbians mark the beginning of the end,” Frank says.
Season 5 premieres at 8 p.m. on Jan. 11 on Showtime. Watch more teaser videos below to tide you over.
