With 2024 now firmly in the rearview, its time to start looking ahead at what fantastic shows the new year will bring. This year were looking at 50 shows in 2025 that we think you should be excited about, including a nice mix of favorites returning for new seasons as well as new shows and miniseries that are on the way.Those shows include returns to dystopian societies in Severance and Squid Game, the return of TV lawyers with Daredevil and Suits: LA, a new Robert De Niro miniseries, and a new show from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. Here are the shows from 2025 were on the lookout for: Harley Quinn season 5 Release date: Jan. 16Where to watch: MaxThe funniest show in the DC Universe returns for a fifth season this January, and moves the action to Metropolis. That means Aisha Tyler joining the crew as Lena Luthor, Stephen Fry as Brainiac, and most likely a bigger role for Superman. And with a new DC Universe around the corner, you can be sure there will be a lot of meta gags about James Gunn, who was last seen directing an in-universe Thomas Wayne biopic starring Clayface pretending to be Billy Bob Thornton. Pete VolkSeverance season 2Release date: Jan. 17Where to watch: Apple TV PlusSeason 1 of Severance left all of us with one of the most daring, conniving, and frankly annoying (non-derogatory) cliffhangers in TV: The innies in open rebellion; Mark (Adam Scott) discovering his wife was still alive and (somehow?) being kept in the bowels of Lumon. Now, season 2 has to pick up the pieces which you can certainly trust them to do in the way Lumon does: orderly and liminal. Zosha MillmanPrime TargetRelease date: Jan. 22Where to watch: Apple TV PlusLeo Woodall (The White Lotus) stars in this original miniseries from Sherlock writer Steve Thompson as Edward Brook, a brilliant postgraduate mathematician on the verge of a breakthrough that could upend the entire field of global cybersecurity. Consisting of eight episodes, Prime Target will follow Brook as he teams up with Taylah Sanders (Quintessa Swindell), an NSA agent tasked with reporting on him, as they attempt to unravel the conspiracy he finds himself inadvertently at the heart of. Toussaint EganWatsonRelease date: Jan. 26Where to watch: CBSIts another Sherlock Holmes adaptation! This time, though, the focus is on Dr. John Watson, so its more of a medical drama with detective elements than a detective drama with medical elements. This version is set in Pittsburgh and kicks off a year after Sherlock Holmes death. Watson (played by Morris Chestnut) has started a new clinic for patients with strange issues but the medical mysteries get even more complicated when Watsons past surfaces. Petrana RadulovicYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-ManRelease date: Jan. 29Where to watch: Disney PlusDisney Plus has the newest member of the Animated Spider-Man Series family in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. The new show, designed after the style of Steve Ditko and John Romita Sr., is set to feature not just Spider-Man but lots of other Marvel characters, including deep cuts like Nico Minoru. Susana PoloCobra Kai season 6 part 3Release date: Feb. 13 Where to watch: NetflixCobra Kai is back for those keeping score at home, this will be the third part of its sixth season, and the final batch of episodes for the show ever. No surprise, this is being billed as the Cobra Kai legends biggest battle yet. And with five episodes on the horizon in February, it seems like its anyones game. ZMYellowjackets season 3Release date: Feb. 14Where to watch: ShowtimeAfter a terrific first season to establish this shows plane-crash mystery, season 2 was a little too meandering. But hopefully season 3 will dive deeper into the mystery and weirdness that makes this show great. AGThe White Lotus season 3Release date: Feb. 16Where to watch: MaxMike Whites luxury resort mystery series is back for another season, this time set in Thailand. And of course, it wouldnt be a new White Lotus season without a new all-star cast, which this time includes Walton Goggins, Parker Posey, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Leslie Bibb, Lisa, and many, many more. AGWin or LoseRelease date: Feb. 19Where to watch: Disney PlusSoon after the launch of Disney Plus, Pixar announced a streaming show called Win or Lose, which sounded like a sort of animated softball Rashomon: Each week, viewers would see the same events surrounding a coed middle school softball team, but from a different team members perspective. Fast forward a few years, and the show is finally coming to the platform. Most appealing is how that premise will be reflected in the visual approach of the series, as each episode is supposed to have a different animation style. But news that Disney pulled a transgender storyline from the season continues a troubling pattern, and will give some viewers pause about diving in. PVReacher season 3Release date: Feb. 20Where to watch: Prime VideoEveryones favorite swole Sherlock show returns for a third season, and this time theres a secret weapon: Yes, Reacher somehow found an even bigger dude. Seven-foot-two, 350-pound Dutch bodybuilder Olivier Richters has joined the show as an antagonist, and the early teaser shows that Richters presence somehow makes the massive Alan Ritchson look like a small child. Thats going to set up one hell of a throwdown. PVZero DayRelease date: Feb. 20Where to watch: NetflixWe dont know much about this new series, but the premise of a political thriller centered around a massive cyberattack sounds pretty interesting. Even better, it stars Robert De Niro, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, and Angela Bassett, which gives it one of the most stacked casts of any show this year. Austen GoslinSuits: LARelease date: Feb. 23Where to watch: NBCSuits is back and moving. The new reboot will pick up in (you guessed it) the City of Angels, with the Arrowverses Stephen Amell as Ted Black, a former prosecutor whos reinventing himself in Los Angeles. What led his whole life to unravel, and where will that leave the firm now? Suit up and find out. ZMDaredevil: Born AgainRelease date: March 4 Where to watch: Disney PlusCharlie Cox returns to his role as Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again. While his Daredevil has already appeared in the MCU with cameos in 2021s Spider-Man: No Way Home and 2022s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, this will be his first time in the spotlight for Marvel. The nine-episode first season will see Murdock once again clash against his adversary, former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent DOnofrio). Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson are set to reprise their roles as Karen Page and Franklin Foggy Nelson from the Netflix version of the show as well, which aired from 2015 to 2018, along with Jon Bernthal, who will reprise his role as the vigilante Frank Castle, aka the Punisher. TEDevil May CryRelease date: April Where to watch: NetflixGamings sassiest demon slayer is coming to Netflix in a new animated series from creator Adi Shankar (Castlevania, Captain Laserhawk) that promises the same over-the-top, shoot-and-slash-em-up action thats made the Devil May Cry games so great. Early trailers that show Devil May Cry star Dante jumping out of exploding planes and kicking all kinds of ass sure seem promising. Michael McWhertorAndor: A Star Wars Story season 2Release date: April 22Where to watch: Disney PlusWe know where this story ends: a cataclysmic explosion of a citadel. But Andor season 2, if its anything like season 1 (and I suspect, hope, and anticipate it will be!), will make the journey well worth it. ZMIronheartRelease date: June 24Where to watch: Disney PlusThe long-delayed Ironheart series, which wrapped principal photography all the way back in 2022, will finally get in front of audiences this year. Spinning out of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, it will follow Dominique Thornes Riri Williams, a teen who reverse engineered her own Iron Man suit.

SPDexter: ResurrectionRelease date: SummerWhere to watch: Paramount PlusWeve got way more questions than answers about this spinoff Dexter sequel series, which, as the title implies, seems to be about bringing the titular serial killer back from the dead, with Michael C. Hall back in the lead role. AGAdultsRelease date: TBA Where to watch: FXOriginally titled Snowflakes, this new FX comedy follows a group of 20-something housemates trying to navigate life and learn to be good people. Despite the fact that at this point theyre pretty awful. AGA Knight of the Seven KingdomsRelease date: Late 2025Where to watch: HBOThe second big Game of Thrones spinoff takes place between House of the Dragon and the original series, but the stakes are a whole lot smaller than the fate of Westeros this time around. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms follows the adventures of Sir Duncan the Tall and young Prince Aegon Targaryen, better known as Egg, as they wander the kingdom looking for odd jobs and deeds of valor. AGAlien: EarthRelease date: TBA Where to watch: HuluFargo and Legion creator Noah Hawley is heading back to television for a new series set in the Alien universe. But while last years Alien: Romulus kept the xenomorphs firmly in the stars, Hawleys new FX series will bring the iconic monster to Earth, which sounds like a whole new kind of nightmare. AGThe Bear season 4Release date: TBA Where to watch: HuluThe third season of tense restaurant drama (or comedy, if you ask the Emmys) The Bear season 3 was a disappointment to many audiences after the extremely high bar the show set in its first two seasons. But a down season of The Bear is still better than a lot of other television out there, and the show is always worth a spot on your TV calendar. FX head John Landgraf has said he hopes The Bear keeps going beyond a fourth season, but theres been no news yet of any plans beyond this one. PVBlack Rabbit Release date: TBAWhere to watch: NetflixWhats there to say about the mysterious Black Rabbit?

And so she has broken the Eleusinian Stone, unleashing the most dangerous adversaries yet: the Titans. ZMChad PowersRelease date: TBA Where to watch: HuluApple TV caught lightning in a bottle with Ted Lasso, successfully converting a hacky commercial into a mega successful TV show. ESPN and Hulu are trying to do the same thing with Chad Powers, which started as a prank on YouTube and now finds itself as a bona fide scripted TV show. Glen Powell stars (and co-creates with Lokis Michael Waldron) as a former hotshot college quarterback who wears a disguise and takes on a fake name in order to walk onto a struggling smaller schools team. PVIt: Welcome to DerryRelease date: TBAWhere to watch: MaxIts been nearly five years since It Chapter Two was released, and it seems like Pennywise has been busy since then. This new It spinoff series is a prequel to the main story, and based on established lore, it seems like it could take place quite a few years before the plot we know. Of course, this means a whole new cast, with the exception of Bill Skarsgrd, whos back as Pennywise himself.AGFor All Mankind season 5Release date: TBA Where to watch: Apple TV PlusFor All Mankind season 4 took the series into the new millennium, rocketing things ahead to 2003 as the new Martian colonies were thriving.

AGFoundation season 3Release date: TBA Where to watch: Apple TV PlusAfter an explosive finale to season 2, Foundation season 3 will continue to jump many years into the future, setting up a whole new plot for us with many new characters and a few returning faces.

And this time, the legendary Carol Burnett will be joining as a guest star.

The supporting cast includes Marc Maron, Judy Greer, and Timothy Olyphant. PVThe Righteous Gemstones season 4Release date: TBA Where to watch: HBOThis very well could be the funniest show on television. Danny McBrides opus on American failsons returns after a riotous third season that included giant styrofoam thrones, monster trucks, and literally thousands of real bugs.

PVSandman season 2Release date: TBA Where to watch: NetflixTom Sturrdige returns as Lord Morpheus in the new season of Netflixs The Sandman.

PRSlow Horses season 5Release date: TBA Where to watch:Apple TV PlusConsistently one of the best shows on television since its release in 2022, Slow Horses is gearing up for another season, but since season 4 didnt come with the shows regular preview of whats next, were left guessing here.

Will the Squid Game finally fall when it returns in 2025? ZMThe Terror: Devil in SilverRelease date: TBA Where to watch: AMCHard to pick what is the best part of the new season of The Terror: that its coming from Chris Cantwell (of Halt and Catch Fire fame) and Victor LaValle (who wrote the novel the season is based on), or that its using The Terrors marriage of horror and grounded drama to explore a story at a psychiatric hospital. But all of them together? Thats a hit, baby. ZMVince Gilligans new showRelease date: TBA Where to watch: Apple TV PlusThe new show from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan known only by its working title, Wycaro 339 is about as shrouded in mystery as they come. Its set in a present-day Albuquerque, has no crime, and no [meth], stars Better Call Sauls Rhea Seehorn, and features a world that changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different. Id say say less, but thats hard to do; either way, Im in. ZMWednesday season 2Release date: TBAWhere to watch: NetflixTim Burtons take on the Addams family was a match made in heaven (or hell).

The series will follow Simon Williams, a superpowered actor and stunt person who auditions for the lead role in a superhero TV series. Theres not much else to go off on at the moment, but with a premise like that we can probably expect some Wandavision-esque fourth wall-breaking shenanigans. Ben Kingsley is set to reprise his role as Trevor Slattery, the failed actor who impersonated the Mandarin, aka Xu Wenwu, and was later abducted by the Ten Rings.
