We already have a list of 7 new and returning TV shows that should be put right on your must-watch list, so we can assure you that 2023 will be a fantastic year for TV shows.
With new programs like the BBC’s touching drama Best Interests and HBO’s epic and horrifying The Last of Us in January, there is something for everyone. Along with returning favorites like You and Sex Education from Netflix, Clarkson’s Farm is back on Prime Video.
1. Sex Education season 4
For more crazy antics and coming-of-age drama in 2023, Asa Butterfield, Gillian Anderson, Ncuti Gatwa, Aimee-Lou Wood, Emma Mackey, Connor Swindells, Kedar Williams-Stirling, and Mimi Keene will all be back.
The critically acclaimed teen drama’s final season is anticipated (*sobs*), but it will also feature Schitt’s Creek actor Dan Levy as Maeve’s new Ivy League tutor Thomas Molloy.
2. You season 4
As Joe, played by Penn Badgley, reluctantly turns into a detective in London after learning that he might not be the only murderer in town, he is accompanied by Ed Speelers (Downton Abbey), Charlotte Ritchie (Fresh Meat, Feel Good), Adam James (Vigil), and Charlotte Scott (Fresh Meat, Feel Good).
Netflix will start streaming You season 4 part 1 on February 10.
3. Velma
Release on January 12, HBO US broadcaster Max; UK broadcaster TBD
Featuring: Constance Wu, Sam Richardson, and Mindy Kaling
The most intelligent member of Scooby-team, Doo’s Velma Dinkley (Mindy Kaling), has her origin tale in this animated series for adults. There is no news yet on whether Velma, a longtime LGBTQ+ icon and recently confirmed queer character, will be portrayed as such in Kaling’s project, despite the fact that we know the show will contain a “love triangle”. So let’s hope.
4. Daisy Jones & The Six
Release: March 3, 2023, Prime Video
Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, and Suki Waterhouse appear in the series.
This miniseries, which was produced in the form of a mock-doc episode of MTV’s Behind The Music, follows a fake rock band as they erupt and ultimately implode in 1970s Los Angeles. Expect plenty of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll since it is based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling book, which was partially inspired by the real-life highs and lows of Fleetwood Mac.
5. Secret Invasion
Availability: early in 2023, Disney+
Ben Mendelsohn, Kingsley, and Samuel L. Jackson are the stars. Ben-Adir
Do you recall Captain Marvel’s shape-shifting aliens, the Skrulls? They will be the main subject of this new superhero program, which will depict a more nuanced and subdued side of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury. As a “crossover event series,” there is a good chance that other beloved Marvel characters will make a surprise appearance.
6. Masters of the Air
Release: Apple TV+ in 2023
Featuring: Barry Keogh, Callum Turner, and Austin Butler
This miniseries about World War II has a solid resume. Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg serve as executive producers, and Cary Fukunaga of No Time to Die The director Joji Fukunaga is one of them. A talented ensemble of up-and-coming performers, led by Elvis actor Austin Butler, portrays the valiant “bomber boys” who fought the war in the air.
7. Poker Face
Starring: Natasha Lyonne, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Adrien Brody; release date: January 26, Peacock (US); broadcaster in the UK TBC
This detective drama was conceptualized by Glass Onion director Rian Johnson and offers a fascinating idea. The lead role of Charlie Cale, a sleuth with an uncanny ability to detect deception, belongs to Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll). The 10-episode season has a “case-of-the-week” structure, making it a potential Murder, She Wrote replacement for the streaming era.
