The new series, new seasons, and remakes of shows are coming in hot for the new year.

If we’re not careful, it could turn out to be a Wall-E-like year on the couch.

2024 is promising further expansion into mega franchise territory, with the MCU, Star Wars and Batman all starting new television series, while big movie stars like Austin Butler will move into their first premium series. Plus there are also new seasons from favourites like True Detective and The Walking Dead.

Movieweb made a list of the 20 most anticipated shows of the coming new year, which we’ve distilled with some of the more exciting options.

First up, there’s Sofia Vergara playing the lead role in Griselda, a Netflix limited series about the infamous cocaine trafficker Griselda Blanco.

Then, there’s the red-hot Austin Butler coming to the small screen as Major Gale Cleven in Masters of the Air, a series about the bomber boys who fought the Nazis in WWII.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s tabloid love affair in Mr. and Mrs. Smith is getting a reboot. This time, in series format, Donald Glover and Maya Erskine will take on the eponymous roles and inject some straight comedy into the property.

Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will see if they can enjoy the same success without the assistance of George R.R. Martin’s source material, as they kick off 3 Body Problem. The science fiction series follows an astrophysicist affected by the Chinese Cultural Revolution, whose subsequent decisions reverberate through history.

HBO’s Mare of Eastown, Kate Winslet is back with the streaming service, except this time, she’s the Chancellor of a crumbling nation in The Regime. The political satire, expected to run six episodes long, is the brainchild of writer Will Tracy, who has already penned memorable episodes of Succession and co-wrote The Menu.

The Regime — Mid-2024

Last but not least, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew appears to be the most promising of the forthcoming Star Wars series. Set in the post-Return of the Jedi era, the series will feature Jude Law and a cast of kids, though details are slim — save for some leaked images of Law wielding a light saber — suggesting he is indeed of the Jedi order.
