Good news, couch potatoes: 2025 is shaping up to be a great year for television. Not only are there several new series to look forward to, including a drama that reunites This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman with star Sterling K. Brown, but there are also returning titles to get excited for, including a drama that's coming back after being off the air for nearly three years (Severance) and one that's airing its final season before its cast of kids is geriatric (Stranger Things). For purposes of this list, we passed on including ongoing shows that aren't airing a long-awaited or final season, which is why you won't see, say, The Bear or Hacks on here.
Happy bingeing!
The 15 most anticipated TV shows of 2025

Noah Wyle back in hospital scrubs? Sign us up! Max's The Pitt reunites the ER alum with executive producer John Wells in a hospital drama described by the network as a “a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh, Penn.” The show's first season will include 15 episodes that unfold over one 15-hour emergency room shift.
Severance Season 2 (Apple TV+): Jan. 17
SeveranceApple TV+
Directed by Ben Stiller, Severance stars Adam Scott as a humdrum manager at Lumon Industries, where employees undergo a controversial procedure ("severance") to surgically split their memories so that they have no recollection of their work-life when they're at home, or their home-life when they're at work. The first season of the show, which also stars Patricia Arquette, Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, John Turturro and Christopher Walken, ended on quite the cliffhanger in April 2022, which means fans have waited nearly three years for a resolution. At last, the time has come!

This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman has tapped Sterling K. Brown (who played Randall Pearson in the hit NBC show) for Hulu's Paradise, which follows the President's head of security (Brown) in the aftermath of the commander in chief's (James Marsden) death. Like TiU, Fogelman's latest drama promises plenty of twists, turns and surprises—but this time around, there will be more suspense-induced sweat than there will be tears.
The White Lotus Season 3 (HBO): Feb. 16
The White LotusHBO
The third installment of Mike White's satirical eat-the-rich anthology series revolves around the staff and guests at a luxury resort in Thailand (Season 1 was set in Hawaii and Season 2 in Sicily). Although the particulars of the upcoming season are being kept under wraps, fans can expect the usual themes of privilege, class and power to come into play, along with some sort of murder-mystery plot-line.
The stellar cast includes Walton Goggins, Parker Posey, Leslie Bibb and Michelle Monaghan, among others. Plus, Natasha Rothwell is set to reprise her role as Belinda from Season 1.
Suits: LA (NBC): Feb. 23
Stephen Amell as Ted Black in Suits: LADavid Astorga/NBC
The original Suits had such a successful second life on Netflix that the show got a spinoff. Where the original legal drama revolved around the professional and personal lives of talented lawyers in New York City, this one is set Los Angeles. The show follows a character named Ted Black (Stephen Amell), an ex-federal prosecutor from New York who “has reinvented himself representing the most powerful clients in Los Angeles."

Based on a book of the same name by Dennis Tafoya, Dope Thief follows best friends Ray and Manny as they pose as DEA agents to rob low-level drug dealers—or so they think. They wind up getting their mark wrong and affronting a big-time bad guy who, naturally, seeks revenge. The series stars Brian Tyree Henry in his first television role since Atlanta.
The Residence (Netflix): March 20

There haven't been new episodes of Stranger Things since July 2022, which means anticipation for the final season of the Duffer Brothers' 80s-set series is at an all-time high. How will the show end?! Will the Upside Down be Right Side Up? Will Barb come back from the dead? Will all the boys have facial hair? So much remains to be seen!
