The new year is here and with it, there’s the premiere of a bunch of new and super awaited TV shows. From the last seasons of beloved shows, to a new page onto the world’s most famous TV series, here are 10 of the most anticipated shows coming out this year.
Search Party
The beloved series is back for its fifth and last season, taking on a whole new genre, as it does per season. “Search Party” follows a group of friends that get involved in the disappearance of a girl who went to their same college. It’s one of the most interesting series on television and while it’s long moved past its premise, each season continues to push the envelope in thrilling directions. It premieres on January 7th.
Euphoria
Released to rapturous acclaim in 2019, “Euphoria” went on a two year pause due to the pandemic, allowing for people’s excitement to build. Season 2 premieres this January 9th and follows Rue and her friends for another season of drug induced craziness.
Cheer
The huge pandemic success is back for a second season on Netflix, following the award winning cheerleading squad at the Navarro College in Texas. It premieres on January 12.
Pam & Tommy
Following the real life scandal of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, “Pam & Tommy” premieres on Hulu on February 2. It stars Lily James and Sebastian Stan as the lead couple, who look eerily like the real couple in the ‘90s. It premieres February 2nd.
The Gilded Age
HBO’s new series tackles classes and money in New York during the 1900’s. Made by the creator of “Downton Abbey” and starring an all star cast that includes Christine Baranksi, Cynthia Nixon and Carrie Coon, “The Gilded Age” is the type of TV event that can’t be missed. It premieres on January 24.
Russian Doll
“Russian Doll,” which premiered in early 2019 and became one of Netflix’s most beloved shows, is back for a second season later this year, with the characters of Nadia (Natasha Lyonne) and Alan (Charlie Barnett) stuck in another time loop. The new season is expected at some point this Spring.
The Sandman
The series, based on the beloved Neil Gaiman graphic novel, is the next big budget mammoth that Netflix is making. It’s pretty tough to describe, having characters that embody concepts like Dreams, Death and Lucifer, played by “Game of Throne’s” Gwendoline Christie.
House of the Dragon
The much awaited “Game of Thrones” spin off is reaching our screens this year. Set before the time of the original show, “House of the Dragon” follows the rise of the house Targaryen. The release date is yet to be announced.
Lord of the Rings
Some years ago, Amazon bought the rights to the “Lord of the Rings” for $250 dollars. It’s predicted that the show will cost $1 billion, making it the most expensive series ever made. We really hope it’s good. A release date has yet to be announced.
Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities
Guillermo Del Toro is making a Netflix anthology series, inspired on Del Toro’s own book of inspirations and creative influences. The series collects a variety of stories meant to challenge the meaning of horror, two of which are originals from Del Toro himself and the remainder from directors that have been handpicked by him. A release date has yet to be released.
