The 7 TV Shows We Can’t Wait To Talk About In 2025

This year hits the final stretch and 2025 looms in the distance. For some, it’s an opportunity to make fresh resolutions and hope for the best. For others, they know it’s likely more of the same nonsense and only look forward to what the television calendar has to offer. The good news is, 2025 is shaping up to be a goodie with a plethora of returning shows but also a bunch of exciting new series. The latter is what interests us the most here since shiny things make the eyes grow larger and the heart grow fonder.

So, let’s take a look at which 2025 TV shows will be the water cooler topics of the upcoming year.

Watson

Coming to CBS on January 26, 2025.

What’s the deal with Hollywood’s obsession with Sherlock Holmes and Watson? Who knows, but we’ll watch every single adaptation because everyone loves to scream out, “Elementary, my dear Watson.” Craig Sweeny, the showrunner who helmed Elementary, handles this latest modern reimagining titled Watson. According to the synopsis, Holmes is dead in this series and Dr. John Watson (Morris Chestnut) is now at the forefront of a clinic that treats those in need of his magical hands. When the dastardly Moriarty shows up once more, Watson needs to roll up his sleeves and deal with his old foe. Considering the bang-up job CBS did with Elementary, much is expected of Watson too. Look, let’s be real here for a second: The medical drama-meets-mystery show already sounds like a winning formula and it should find its niche audience in no time.

Daredevil: Born Again

Coming to Disney+ on March 4, 2025.

Daredevil: Born Again feels like it’s been in development for as long as Mahershala Ali’s Blade now. The show hasn’t been without its challenges, though, as the previous showrunners made way in 2023 and plans were entirely overhauled. The good news is the change sounds like it was for the better as the series is now reportedly more connected to its predecessor, Netflix’s sensational Daredevil series. Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, and Elden Henson all return to reprise their roles as Matt Murdock, Wilson Fisk, Karen Page, and Foggy Nelson respectively, and much is expected of this continuation/soft reboot to carry on the story of Daredevil fighting for the soul of Hell’s Kitchen. If it can capture the boots-on-the-ground, grittier storytelling approach from before, it holds the potential to be the best Marvel show on Disney+ – something that’s much needed after the slew of duds!

Devil May Cry

Coming to Netflix in April 2025.

Netflix’s anime selection hardly ever misses. In fact, its Castlevania adaptation might be one of the best shows on the platform – period. So, when the news broke that the streaming service would be tackling the anime adaptation of the video game series Devil May Cry, audiences had every reason to celebrate. Plus, what’s even better is how Johnny Yong Bosch will reprise his role from the video games and voice Dante on the show too. For those unfamiliar with the game, Dante is a demon hunter, who possesses a flashy, stylized move set (and a head of great hair), and battles against all sorts of monsters and entities that want to destroy Earth. It’s not exactly Shakespeare, but who doesn’t need one more show about a demon slayer?!

Suits: L.A.

Coming to NBC in 2025.

The legal drama Suits ended five years ago, but no one forgot it for a single second, thanks to its revival in popularity after debuting on Netflix. Now, the story continues in a spinoff titled Suits: L.A. It remains uncertain if any of the original cast members will return here, but this new story follows Ted Black (Stephen Amell), a New Yorker who starts up a legal firm in Los Angeles that handles criminal and entertainment cases. Not much is known about the series at the time of writing, but other confirmed cast members include Josh McDermitt and Lex Scott Davis. Will it be able to generate the same lightning-in-a-bottle greenback boogie effect of its predecessor, though? Time will tell, but more Suits is never a bad thing.

Alien: Earth

Coming to FX on Hulu in 2025.

After a few disappointing movies, the Alien franchise returned to its glory days in Alien: Romulus. However, the Xenomorph isn’t only sticking around and spitting acid in theaters, as it heads over to the small screen in a 2025 TV show titled Alien: Earth. The information surrounding the show remains deliberately scarce with the only story details being it’s a prequel to Alien and follows the events after a spaceship crashes on Earth – and that can only mean bad news for the Earthlings. The show stars Sydney Chandler and Timothy Olyphant, while the showrunner is Noah Hawley, who is best known for Fargo and Legion. Hold thumbs it’s more like Alien: Romulus than Alien: Covenant!

It: Welcome to Derry

Coming to HBO in 2025.

Despite no one giving it – pardon the pun – a chance when first announced, Andy Muschietti’s It more than carries the fright and fear factor of the Stephen King novels. After the second film wrapped, everyone believed that was that for the story. However, news dropped that a television series was in the works – not a new adaptation of the horror novel, but a prequel. In a way, the basic premise behind It: Welcome to Derry makes sense, since everyone knows Pennywise had been around for ages before the main story, so there’s history there – but is this a strong-enough idea to expand on? That’s still the million-dollar question; however, the return of Bill Skarsgård as the evil entity gives fans hope that it could be a worthwhile addition to the lore.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

Coming to HBO in 2025 (maybe).

Game of Thrones is long gone, but House of the Dragon stepped in to fill the void. Now, another Game of Thrones spinoff is on the way – A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight. The name’s a mouthful but whatever. Anyway, the story is set before the events of Game of Thrones and based on Tales of Dunk and Egg. It centers on the adventures of the knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey), and his tiny squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) in a time in which the Targaryens still rule Westeros. The series is expected to arrive in 2025, but as with all things of such sizable budgets and anything associated with George R. R. Martin (where’s The Winds of Water, George?!), don’t be surprised if it gets pushed out.
