2022 was a good year for TV, but there’s always the hope that a new year will bring even better programming.
As a handful of shows gear up for their swan song, they’re making room for a new crop of shows—and seasons—to take the spotlight and shine.
Here are the 2023 shows we’re most excited about that we think should be on your radar:
Not Dead Yet – ABC
Gina Rodriguez returns to TV to once again dominate primetime television. After making a splash as a pregnant virgin in Jane the Virgin, Rodriguez will tackle the role of Nell Stevens, a broke and newly single woman hoping to restart the career she left behind a decade ago. Unfortunately, the landscape has changed, so she accepts the only job she can find: writing obituaries. What she doesn’t expect is that her life advice is going to start coming from an unlikely source. Let’s just say, she takes the phrase “I see dead people” to new heights.
The series will premiere on February 8, 2023, on ABC.
Hailing from Sam Levinson (the man behind Euphoria), the trippy series about a modern-day cult leader, played by Abel Tesfaye (best known as The Weeknd), who lures in a rising pop idol played by Lily-Rose Depp. There’s deception, mystery, and plenty of intrigue, along with plenty of moments to obsess over in the trailer, rounded out by a pretty stellar cast that includes Dan Levy, Troye Sivan, Rachel Sennot, and Blackpink’s Jennie.
No official premiere date has been announced just yet.
You – Netflix
Hello, you. I’ve missed you. The Penn Badgley thriller returns to Netflix for its fourth season, but with Badgley’s Joe Goldberg assuming a new identity in Paris to track down the one that got away—and obsess over a new crop of vulnerable women—it almost feels like a brand new series altogether. And if the previous season was any indication, things are going to get quite crazy once school is in session.
It will hit Netflix on February 9, 2023.
The Mandalorian was the talk of the town when it premiered in 2019, mostly because of Baby Yoda, but the buzz about the upcoming season of the Star Wars live-action series starring Pedro Pascal as a lone gunfighter continues gaining momentum. There are plenty more adventures to be had following the fall of the Galactic Empire, and fans are ready to strap on in and take off.
Season 3 will premiere on Disney+ on March 1, 2023.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story- Netflix
Everyone has their favorite Bridgerton sibling, but there’s a good chunk of people who swear that Queen Charlotte is the best character. And now, we’re going to get her origin story. The prequel spinoff aims to fill the void as we wait for the new season of Bridgerton by giving us a series dedicated solely to Queen Charlotte’s backstory, tapping into who she was as a young girl and why she lives for gossip and drama.
The series will arrive on Netflix on May 4, 2023.
Secret Invasion – Disney+
The series, based on the 2008 comic by Brian Michael Bendis, is a gift to Avengers fans as its a sequel to Captain Marvel, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It follows Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson), who returns to Earth after having been missing for years to take on the shape-shifting Skrulls faction. It also stars Cobie Smulders, Olivia Colman, Don Cheadle, and more.
No premiere date has been announced yet, but it’s set for a spring 2023 arrival.
Lupin – Netflix
Though a premiere date has yet to be announced, Netflix teased the third season focusing on the gentleman thief played by Omar Sy. It’s been nearly two years since the French-language thriller aired its last episode, so there’s quite a lot of anticipation from fans. Assane Diop avenged his father and disappeared to protect his family, but a new case might bring France’s most-wanted man back to the spotlight.
Wolf Pack – Paramount+
Not only is Wolf Pack an upcoming supernatural series, but it also brings Sarah Michelle Geller back into the supernatural genre, and that alone is enough to make us want to tune in. In fact, SMG wasn’t going to sign on for the project initially but changed her mind once she read the script! Based on the book series by Edo Van Belkom, the series follows two teens whose lives are forever changed when a California wildfire awakens a terrifying supernatural creature.
The series hits the streamer on January 26, 2023.
That ’90s Show – Netflix
You know their parents, now, get to know the offspring. The series, set in the ’90s as the title alludes, is a spinoff of the beloved That ’70s Show. It follows the teen daughter of Eric Forman and Donna Pinciott, Leia, who returns to Wisconsin to spend the summer with her grandparents, Red and Kitty. Along the way, she makes a group of lifelong friends, and together, they discover the magical properties of the Forman basement. The core cast from the original series has all signed on for guest appearances, so you know it will be a good ‘ole time.
The first season will premiere on Netflix on January 15, 2023.
While we’re talking about the ’70s, the series will let you love out your rock star dreams. Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s 2019 novel (and produced by Reid along with Reese Witherspoon), the series follows the fictional band, along with the highs and lows, and checks in decades later after they’d decided to call it quits. And it’s got a star-studded cast with Riley Keough, Sam Claflin, Suki and Waterhouse!
The limited series will be available on Amazon Prime on March 3.
Yellowjackets – Showtime
If you stomached all the gore from the first season of Yellowjackets, there’s more coming your way with the second, highly-anticipated season. The series, about a high school girl’s soccer team getting stranded in the wilderness, picks up where the first season left off, toggling between two time periods: the aftermath of the 1996 plane crash and catching up with the survivors 25 years later.
The series will premiere on Showtime on March 24, 2023.
