Another flood of awesome TV is about to come your way.
All signs are pointing to 2019 being an even bigger year for television than 2018; not only are we getting new seasons of Game of Thrones and Stranger Things after they skipped 2018, but two new major streaming services — Apple’s unnamed project and Disney’s Disney+ — are launching. Eclipsing this year’s record number of scripted shows is pretty much a done deal.
But worry not! Lots of these new shows coming out in 2019 are good enough to be the final straw to ween you off of staying current on something like Madam Secretary. So here you go, the 10 new shows of 2019 that we’re most excited for:
The Twilight Zone
One of Jordan Peele‘s first deals after his film Get Out blew up was this reinvention of the sci-fi anthology. It’ll stick mostly to the formula of the original, even including an update on the classic episode “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet,” and features guest turns from John Cho, Kumail Nanjiani, Allison Tolman, Steven Yeun and Greg Kinnear. (CBS All Access, TBD)
What We Do in the Shadows
It’s another vampire series, but not just any other vampire series. This adaptation of the 2014 movie is a comedy about three centuries-old bloodsuckers who try to adjust to living in modern society. It does not go well. Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, who were both involved in the film, produce the series, which will also be many Americans’ introduction to baritone British comedian Matt Berry. (FX, spring)
His Dark Materials
The epic trilogy of fantasy novels from author Philip Pullman gets an epically expensive adaptation courtesy of the BBC and HBO. The series follows a young woman who jumps between parallel worlds, including ours, to untangle a plot to kidnap children and understand a mysterious phenomenon called the Dust. It’s not exactly a Game of Thronesreplacement as it’s targeted at young adults, but it does feature armored polar bears! (HBO, TBD)
