The 3. 0 Most Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2. By now you might have finished reading our massive 1. Most Anticipated Movies of 2.
You might even be already through yesterday’s look at the stars of tomorrow with Best Breakthrough Performances. And so, to continue in this forward- looking, optimistic vein (frankly, all of us could use a little hope on the horizon), today we get to unveil our picks for the most exciting projects that we faithfully believe will be hitting our small screens for the first time in 2. Today is all about our most anticipated new (and in two exceptional cases, sort- of- returning) television shows, and with Peak TV showing no sign of peaking just yet, we’re pretty sure we’ll have enough binge- watching to see us through, or at least distract us from whatever martial- law/nuclear- winter/zombie- cannibal- attack situation arises. It’s cold comfort, but with great art tending to flourish in times of adversity, and so much great storytelling artistry happening on television right now, 2. TV. Here are the 3.
Hit play. 3. 0. When a wealthy man dies, destroying his memory of the 4. Mystery Thriller Movies I Do Until I Don`T (2017). What You Need To Know: “Black Mirror” aside, Netflix haven’t really gone into the sci- fi game in a big way, at least in the futuristic sense of the word.
But that changes this year, with the adaptation of Richard K. Morgan’s popular novel by James Cameron collaborator and “Shutter Island” screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis. Likely to be in the “Blade Runner”/“Minority Report” vein, it’ll be toplined by “Robocop” star Joel Kinnaman, with “Hamilton” actor Ren. And with Netflix cash behind it, and “Game Of Thrones” director Miguel Sapochnik (who did the superb “Battle Of The Bastards” episode) on board, expect this to be a rare small- screen futurescape with real production value. Airdate: None yet, probably in the late summer or early fall. But ABC are going big and going hard on their latest Marvel show, an adaptation of characters who were once set to head to the big screen before they fell off the Phase Three schedule. Traditionally involving characters including Black Bolt (who is silent because his voice is a weapon), Medusa (who has magic hair) and a giant dog called Lockjaw, it has the potential to be madder than even “Guardians Of The Galaxy,” and the network are going with a similarly ambitious approach: The pilot episodes will debut exclusively in IMAX theaters and be shot on IMAX cameras (with IMAX themselves fully funding the pilot), before continuing on ABC in the fall.
The potential’s there for a sort- of MCU “Game Of Thrones,” but with no cast, showrunner or director involved, we’re worried for now that this could be more in the vein of the forgettable- at- best “Agents Of S. H. I. E. L. D.”Airdate: The pilot will hit theaters on Labor Day weekend, with the show continuing in September. On the surface at least, “Ozark” looks to be very much in the template of Vince Gilligan’s masterpiece, with an actor best known for comedy starring in a drama about an ordinary man who becomes entangled in cartel- related crime. In this case, it’s Jason Bateman, who also produces and directs the show as well, in the lead role, with Laura Linney as his wife and the very good Julia Garner in support as well, while the script comes from Bill Dubuque, who wrote “The Judge.” And while it all sounds a bit familiar on paper, “Halt & Catch Fire” seemed like a “Mad Men” rip- off and turned into one of the best shows on TV, so we certainly won’t dismiss this yet. Airdate: Filming’s underway — we’d guess the summer at some point. So we’re intrigued to see if his move to TV can prove as winning as films like “Get Him To The Greek” and “The Five- Year Engagement,” or his scripts for the Muppet movies.
Eight- episode Netflix comedy “Friends From College” (Stoller will helm all eight episodes, and co- created the show with his wife Francesca Delbanco) is apparently a semi- autobiographical bit of work, drawing on his own experience as a Harvard grad, and a cast of comedic and dramatic ringers has been assembled, with Keegan- Michael Key, Cobie Smulders, Annie Parisse, Nat Faxon, Fred Savage, Jae Suh Park and Billy Eichner leading the way. As long as it’s more “Master Of None” than “Love,” consider us on board. Airdate: Probably the fall. But the streaming service look to deliver some HBO- style star wattage this year with psychological thriller “Gypsy,” which toplines Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup (with more rising stars like “Nocturnal Animals” star Karl Glusman, “Kingsman” actress Sophie Cookson and “Sing Street” breakout Lucy Boynton in support). It comes from first- time writer Lisa Rubin, who we assume is pretty great if her first script can attract this kind of talent, and “Fifty Shades Of Grey” helmer Sam Taylor- Wood is at the helm of the first couple of episodes. Airdate: Late summer or early fall.
But could “Big Little Lies” be the one that helps actually change the culture a bit and do for Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon what “True Detective” did for Matthew Mc. Conaughey and Woody Harrelson?

The two A- listers were initially adapting Australian author Liane Moriarty. Kelley, and “Dallas Buyers Club” director Jean- Marc Vall. A strong cast joins Kidman and Witherspoon, with Shailene Woodley, Zoe Kravitz, Alexander Skarsg.

But he’s been doing some quiet work in TV in the last few years on things like “Empire” and “American Crime Story,” and could make a comeback in force with two shows in 2. BET cop show “Rebel” and this more ambitious effort, tracking the rise of crack in the 1. It sounds like it could be FX’s answer to “Narcos,” but a more street- level, varied approach could definitely be a boon, and though the cast are mostly unknowns (“Breaking Bad” actress Emily Rios, “Into The Woods” star Billy Magnussen and comedian De. Ray Davis are the best known faces, alongside newcomer Damson Idris), Singleton long ago proved his eye for talent. Airdate: A retool for the pilot pushed it back a bit, but this will likely arrive in the summer, perhaps in “Tyrant”’s old slot. Reteaming Oscar- winning “Milk” writer Dustin Lance Black with the director of that film, Gus Van Sant, this eight- hour miniseries suddenly feels utterly vital at a time when the new administration, partly led by a vice president who believes in conversion therapy, threatens the hard- won LGBT- rights progress that has been slowly achieved in previous decades.
That it’ll be airing on network TV — on Disney- owned ABC, no less — makes it feel like it has the potential to actually reach more than those who already know and agree with its message, which is sort of exciting. An early trailer suggests something very much in the “Milk” mold, but with a much wider scope (Van Sant splits the directing duties with Black, “West Wing” veteran Thomas Schlamme and “Pariah” helmer Dee Rees), and the cast is strong, with Guy Pearce, Mary- Louise Parker, Rachel Griffiths, Carrie Preston, Michael K.
Williams, Dylan Walsh, Whoopi Goldberg, Rob Reiner, David Hyde Pierce, Denis O’Hare, Richard Schiff, Mary Mc. Cormack and, in a doubly Trump- baiting move, Rosie O’Donnell on board. Airdate: Nothing firm, but likely in the early summer. It’s the kind of thing that, if Murphy was left to his own devices, could be completely annoying, but as with “American Crime Story,” he’s partly delegating to a showrunner, in this case Whedon- verse vet Tim Minear, which is good news. Airdate: It’s filming at the minute — it probably won’t be ready for the “American Crime Story” slot, but expect it in the first half of the year. Also featuring comedy stalwarts Henry Winkler and Stephen Root among its cast, the pilot episode marked Hader’s directorial debut, but the behind- the- scenes team is anything but inexperienced.
Not only is Hader an .
