It’s a brand-new year, and with that comes a whole new slate of original and returning TV shows to fill our must-see watchlist. Even though we cannot wait for the return of shows like The Bachelor , This is Us , and Riverdale , there are many other new series dropping throughout this year. Honestly, these shows’ debuts are surefire ways to turn any 2020 bad mojo around and make things better.
Networks including The CW, NBC, Disney+, and Netflix have been hard at work to ensure a full slate of TV goodness hits our airwaves this year. There’ll be super additions to both the Arrowverse and the MCU, reinvented versions of many nostalgic hits, compelling dramas based on popular novels, a brand-new Chip & Joanna Gaines reality series, and plenty of amusing comedies that’ll keep you laughing no matter what crazy things come our way this year. If you are ready to build out your must-watch TV schedule for the year ahead, keep reading below to check out what will be coming to your screens soon! There are so many TV shows and networks to keep track of, so we’ve broken down some of the series we’re most excited for in 2021.
Ever since last season on Supergirl and the entirety of the Crisis crossover, we were absolutely pumped to hear the network was developing a new series based on Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman and Elizabeth Tulloch’s Lois Lane. This show, debuting this month, will show these heroes navigate superhero life and their responsibilities of being new parents.
Ever since this last MCU phase ended with a snap and dust, we’ve been yearning to find out what the Avengers would tackle next. The show, debuting in January, follows couple Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Vision living idealized suburban lives. Then, the duo soon realizes that everything isn’t as it seems.
Book fans like us have obsessed over Leigh Bardugo’s Grisha and Six of Crows series for years. Now, we’re absolutely stoked to check out this TV adaptation, starring Ben Barnes, in April that’ll bring the Grishaverse to life. Now if this show means my fictional crush on Kaz Brekker exists outside of my imagination, then I’m cool with that.
After The Good Place sadly ended last year, our TV screens have been Ted Danson-less. Luckily, he’s back on in a new NBC comedy, starting this week. Helmed by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, Danson plays a retired businessman who runs for mayor of Los Angeles to prove “he’s still got it.”
This upcoming Netflix coming-of-age series is slated to premiere on Feb. 24 and is already being hailed as a modern, dramatic take on Gilmore Girls . We’ll follow awkward 15-year-old Ginny and her young and vivacious mother Georgia as they attempt to put down roots after a move to a small New England town.
For any Fixer Upper fans, Chip and Joanna Gaines are gearing up to launch their Magnolia Network on the Discovery platform. This first offering hits the site this month, and it’s a cooking show that demonstrates off Jo’s best recipes. Follow along to see how she crafts Lebanese dishes, a Friendsgiving dinner, and all sorts of comfort food.
With Supernatural over, Jared Padalecki will continue to grace our TV screens with a brand-new show. Debuting this January, he’s taking over the mantle of the famous Texas Ranger in a reimagining of Walker, Texas Ranger. He’ll play a widowed Cordell Walker, who returns home to Austin after an undercover gig for the past two years to raise his kids.
While, unfortunately, we’ve yet to get a release date for the HBO Max reboot, we do know the cast and crew have returned to work on the Met steps after lockdown lifted. This time around, we’ll follow a new crop of Constance and St. Jude’s students, who are living in a new socially savvy GG era.
Acclaimed director Barry Jenkins is teaming up with Amazon for his first foray into television, though we’ve yet to hear about an official premiere date. This anticipated limited series is adapted from Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 2017 novel of the same name. The alternative history show chronicles Cora’s journey to leave the South along the rumored Underground Railroad.
