Crack the spine of your 2025 planner and start filling in some dates, because we’ve rounded up all the biggest new and returning shows of next year.
2024 has seen the death of plenty of TV shows, some by design—like Larry David’s long-running Curb Your Enthusiasm, the vampire comedy What We Do in the Shadows, and the most unlikely spin-off hit of all time, Young Sheldon. Then there were those that had the rug pulled out from under them, like the Star Wars series The Acolyte, Netflix’s Greek god epic Kaos, and Taika Waititi’s fan-favorite Our Flag Means Death.
Still, where some TV doors close, new browser windows open, and next year looks to be packed to the rafters with big-budget swings like a new Game of Thrones prequel and a positively stacked Apple TV+ originals slate, as well as highly anticipated returning faves like The White Lotus, The Bear, and The Traitors.
We’ve narrowed down the shows we think will be on everyone’s lips in 2025.
Brand new
Lockerbie: A Search for Truth (Peacock)
Jan. 2
Just days before Christmas in 1988, the UK saw its deadliest terror attack in history when a Pan Am flight was blown up over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 270 people. In Lockerbie: A Search for Truth, Colin Firth takes on the role of Jim Swire, who lost his daughter in the explosion and became the spokesperson for families who lost loved ones on board. He believes the government is covering up what really happened on the flight, but as 36 years of history reveal, the story is never clear.
American Primeval (Netflix)
Jan. 9
If the title of Netflix’s gritty new drama implies something dangerous and evil, well, that’s the idea. American Primeval chronicles the birth of the American West, with all the perils and violence that came with warring cultures and religions vying for dominance. Taylor Kitsch leads Peter Berg’s series as a traumatized man traversing the terrain, with the always excellent Betty Gilpin as a mother looking for a guide across the country. They hope for freedom, but in the frontier, the best they can ask for may be survival.
The Pitt (Max)
Jan. 9
Noah Wyle as an ER doc? In 2025? It’s more likely than you think. The Pitt sees Wyle return to the fluorescent-lit hospital halls as the chief attendant at a Pittsburgh hospital. More 24 than ER, each episode of the series follows one hour in Wyle’s 15-hour shift and aims to show the relentless conditions for modern-day healthcare workers in America, from crammed waiting rooms to nursing shortages.
Prime Target (Apple TV+)
Jan. 22
After the sob-fest that was One Day, we’re grateful that Leo Woodall’s follow-up series looks to be more adrenaline-spiking than tear-jerking. Prime Target follows Woodall’s Edward Brooks, a math genius (hence the reference to prime numbers) on the brink of a major breakthrough who senses someone may be trying to thwart his discovery. He and the FBI agent sent to spy on him (Quintessa Swindell) will attempt to unravel the conspiracy at the heart of both of their work.
Watson (CBS)
Jan. 26
If there are three things that the average TV viewer loves, they are medical dramas, police procedurals, and innovative spins on recognizable IP. Enter Watson, the new series about Sherlock Holmes’ doctor sidekick, which bills itself as part medical mystery, part detective show. Morris Chestnut takes the mantle of John Watson (following Lucy Liu’s run in the character’s last primetime procedural outing in Elementary), who, after the death of Sherlock Holmes, sets up his own practice dedicated to strange and unusual medical issues.
Paradise (Hulu)
Jan. 28
Sterling K. Brown is teaming back up with This Is Us creator Dan Fogleman for this series centered around the murder of the President of the United States (played by James Marsden, always a joy to see pop up in things). Brown plays the head of security, who just so happens to have been the last person to see him alive after being let in on something top secret and potentially world-altering. Cue the intrigue, espionage, gripping mysteries, and Brown doing what he does best: expertly playing a character we don’t know whether to root for or against.
SNL 50th Anniversary Special (NBC)
Feb. 16
SNL’s birthday bash has been a full-season affair so far, with legacy hosts and returning cast members galore. The actual big five-oh celebration for Lorne Michaels’ comedy brainchild will be a three-hour live special dedicated to the sketch show’s half-century run. Details so far are thin on the ground, with no word yet on who will take on hosting duties and who from the show’s illustrious run will be back for some nostalgic commemoration. Based on the show’s 40th anniversary special 10 years ago, we can certainly expect a carousel of big names and multiple musical guests.
Zero Day (Netflix)
Feb. 20
Zero Day, Netflix’s upcoming political thriller, marks Robert De Niro’s first step into the world of prestige TV, an impressive feat to hold off on considering so many of his A-list peers have made the jump over the last few years. He’ll be joined by Jesse Plemons, Dan Stevens, Lizzy Caplan, and Angela Bassett in the series, about a beloved and former United States president (De Niro, naturally) as he leads the investigation into a catastrophic cyberattack.
The Americas (NBC)
Feb. 23
Move over David Attenborough, Tom Hanks is coming for your bag. Hanks takes on narrating duties for this expansive docuseries that shows the beauty of nature spanning the most remote parts of both North and South America. The series was filmed over five years, taking viewers from the top of the world in the Arctic to the bottom in the Antarctic.
Suits LA (NBC)
Feb. 23
If there’s one thing that L.A. has in abundance, it’s lawyers. So it makes sense that the first spin-off of Suits, the wildly popular, Meghan Markle-starring series about NYC attorneys that became a behemoth streaming hit after it ended in 2019, would decamp for the West Coast. The series stars Stephen Amell as a federal prosecutor from New York who moves to Hollywood to represent some of Los Angeles’ most powerful clients. Maggie Grace will also star.
Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+)
March 4
It’s been a long, long road to get us to Daredevil: Born Again’s release. The long-awaited solo return for Charlie Cox’s blind superhero outside of the short-lived Marvel-Netflix partnership was first announced in 2022, but by 2023 it was undertaking a massive creative overhaul with The Punisher’s Dario Scardapane brought in as showrunner. The show, which has been billed as a continuation of the character’s initial three-season Netflix run rather than a reboot, will bring back series originals Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio as villain Kingpin, and Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page to the gritty streets of New York’s Hell’s Kitchen.
Dope Thief (Apple TV+)
March 14
Dope Thief is another crime novel adaptation set to hit the small screen next year. Top Gun: Maverick screenwriter Peter Craig’s 2009 story will star Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura as a duo that runs a grift posing as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside, only to realize they’ve stumbled across the biggest narcotics corridor on the East Coast. Ridley Scott will executive produce.
The Residence (Netflix)
March 20
So far, Netflix’s more than $100-million deal with Shonda Rhimes has given us the bodice-ripping behemoth Bridgerton, its spin-off Queen Charlotte, and the Anna Delvey miniseries Inventing Anna. The newest jewel in the crown is The Residence, a murder mystery set within the walls of the White House. Described as an “upstairs, downstairs, and backstairs” story, the series stars Uzo Aduba as the eccentric detective alongside Giancarlo Esposito and Randall Park.
The Studio (Apple TV+)
March 26
The sign of truly making it in Hollywood isn’t an award or a mansion in the hills, it’s wracking up enough caché to get Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Charlize Theron, Zac Efron, and Kathryn Hahn to berate you on screen. The Studio stars Seth Rogen as a movie studio head on the brink of existential crisis as he tries to toe the line between making art and “movies with a capital M.” The trailer alone is like a rolodex of big-name cameos playing heightened versions of themselves, which, when executed well, can be delightful.
Your Friends & Neighbors (Apple TV+)
April 11
Jon Hamm as a somewhat sociopathic businessman conning his way through New York? We think we’ve seen this one before. In Your Friends & Neighbors, Hamm will lead his first TV series since Mad Men and suit back up as a hedge fund manager who, after losing his job and marriage, starts stealing from the wealthy residents of his suburb. Naturally, the con gets out of hand, and when he steals the wrong thing from the wrong house, his new life of petty crime starts to unravel. The series will also star Olivia Munn and Amanda Peet.
Government Cheese (Apple TV+)
April 16
Another series in Apple TV+’s loaded slate is Government Cheese, starring and executive-produced by David Oyelowo. The surrealist comedy is set in 1969 and revolves around a quirky family in L.A. Oyelowo plays its patriarch who, after being released from prison, tries to curry favor with his wife and kids who resent his absence and have seemingly built a strange life around lofty pursuits and odd hobbies in the time he’s been away. The show is created by Paul Hunter, dubbed one of the most influential hip-hop music video directors of all time. Unsurprisingly, early images ...
