The Most Anticipated TV Shows of 2025: New and Returning Series


The entry that’s furthest into the future that we have on this list is “Andor,” the second season of which will premiere on Disney+ on April 22 — and that’s emblematic of how few series dates have been announced as of yet for next year. There are, of course, many popular shows returning in 2025, with none more massive than the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things” on Netflix, which will likely premiere in the fourth quarter of next year, having just wrapped production earlier this month.

“Stranger Things” is one of many Netflix shows that hasn’t been dated yet. The streamer will also drop the final seasons of “You” and “Squid Game,” Season 2 of “Wednesday,” Season 3 of “Monster” (featuring Charlie Hunnam as serial killer Ed Gein) among other returning shows. Amid Netflix’s typical four billion other series will be the debuts of “The Four Seasons” (starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell, in a series remake of Alan Alda’s 1981 movie of the same name) and the limited series “Sirens,” with an all-star cast led by Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock and many more.

Among the undated offerings from HBO and Max are Seasons 2 of “The Last of Us,” “Peacemaker” and “The Rehearsal,” Seasons 3 of “And Just Like That” and “The Gilded Age,” Seasons 4 of “The Righteous Gemstones” and the Emmy-winning comedy “Hacks” — all of these shows are heading our way. We’ll also soon see the premieres of the limited series “Task” (from “Mare of Easttown” creator Brad Inglesby), “Duster” (from J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan), the latest “Game of Thrones” offshoot, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” and the “It” prequel series “Welcome to Derry” (which we’re already scared of based on a sneak peak!).

Over on Hulu, the sixth and final season of the Emmy-winning “The Handmaid’s Tale” will premiere sometime in the spring, and will reveal what June (Elisabeth Moss) and Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski) can do now that they’ve joined forces to take down Gilead. The Ellen Pompeo limited series “Good American Family” (loosely based on the story of Natalia Grace) and “Mid-Century Modern” — from Max Mutchnick, David Kohan and Ryan Murphy, about older gay men living together in Palm Springs (Golden Gays?) — will also make their debuts. Hulu viewers will also get to see the comedy “Chad Powers” (Glen Powell, a co-creator of the series, as a football player in need of a second chance), “All’s Fair” (Ryan Murphy’s legal drama starring Kim Kardashian) and Season 2 of “Nine Perfect Strangers” (with Nicole Kidman returning).

In addition to the new and returning series that we’ve included below, Amazon’s Prime Video service will feature several shows based on best-selling books, including the thriller “The Better Sister” (starring Elizabeth Banks and Jessica Biel), the YA adaptation “We Were Liars” from Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie and “The Girlfriend” (starring Robin Wright, who also directs). The reunion of “What Not to Wear” stars Stacy London and Clinton Kelly will also premiere on Amazon in the form of “Wear Whatever the F You Want,” as will Season 2 of “Gen V,” the brilliant spinoff of “The Boys,” and the third season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty.”

Peacock will offer the second season of the very fun Natasha Lyonne howcatchem mystery “Poker Face,” as well as the debuts of “Long Bright River” (a thriller starring Amanda Seyfried based on a terrific Liz Moore book of the same name), and (speaking of Emmy winners) “All Her Fault,” a mystery starring Sarah Snook. Also, Peacock has the new series from “The Office” universe — starring Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore — which is rumored to be titled “The Paper,” from co-creators Greg Daniels and Michael Koman.

Last but not least, we come to FX. Beyond the returns of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “Welcome to Wrexham” and, of course, Season 4 of “The Bear,” the Emmy-winning network has the highly anticipated series “Dying for Sex,” which stars Michelle Williams as a woman diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer who leaves her husband. It’s based on a 2020 podcast, and Liz Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock are the showrunners. Oh, and one more show from FX: Noah Hawley’s “Alien: Earth,” which was first announced in December 2020, will at last be unveiled, and will likely be one of the biggest shows of the year.

And then there are these 41 shows below, which we hope provide us all with entertainment, laughs and comfort — things we’re going to need in 2025!
