After what feels like an extremely long drought—Succession ended months ago!—2024’s looking to be an exceptional year for new and returning TV series, from prestige-laden limited-series adaptations to new installments of old favorites and conclusions that promise to tie up departing shows with a neat bow. After catching up on the best TV shows of 2023, read on for all the TV premiere dates you need to know, plus more info on the shows we’re most excited to see in the new year.

The Brothers Sun

• Premiere Date: January 4
• Network: Netflix
• Noteworthy Cast: Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chien, Sam Song Li

Michelle Yeoh kicking ass as a formidable matriarch with a shady past? Sign us up. Brad Falchuk and Byron Wu’s dark action comedy involves the Taiwanese mob, secret assassins, and an undercurrent of deep family love. And if nothing else, the fight sequences look pretty cool.

Death and Other Details

• Premiere Date: January 16
• Network: Hulu
• Noteworthy Cast: Mandy Patinkin, Violett Beane, Linda Emond, Jayne Atkinson

Intrigue on the high seas! Hulu’s next comedy mystery sounds tailor-made for fans of its similarly themed Only Murders in the Building. Patinkin plays genius detective Rufus Coteworth, who finds himself stuck on a luxury ocean liner when someone gets killed. Beane is his young foil, a thief who becomes the crime’s number one suspect.

The Woman in the Wall

• Premiere Date: January 19
• Network: Showtime
• Noteworthy Cast: Ruth Wilson, Daryl McCormack

Speaking of mysteries: this much darker whodunit features The Affair’s Ruth Wilson not as the titular woman, but as someone who awakens to find a body in her house. Did Wilson’s Lorna kill the victim while sleepwalking? And could the crime be tied to Lorna’s traumatic teenage incarceration in a shadowy convent, or the child she was forced to give up all those years ago?

Griselda

• Premiere Date: January 25
• Network: Netflix
• Noteworthy Cast: Sofia Vergara, Alberto Guerra, Martin Rodriguez

Vergara’s cocaine queenpin runs an operation that’s “efficient, deadly, and incredibly successful,” according to the feds trying to take her down. We’ll see just how right they are in this stylish series from the people behind Narcos, based on the true(ish) story of Griselda Blanco, the mastermind of a powerful Miami Vice–era cartel.

Expats

• Premiere Date: January 26
• Network: Prime Video
• Noteworthy Cast: Nicole Kidman, Jack Huston, Sarayu Blue, Brian Tee

Lulu Wang’s first major project since The Farewell, based on Janice Y.K. Lee’s novel, follows a group of American expatriates living in Hong Kong, as well as the service workers who make their lives possible. The trailer promises domestic drama and tricky class dynamics, as well as another powerful literary adaptation limited-series performance by genre GOAT Kidman.

Masters of the Air

• Premiere Date: January 26
• Network: Apple TV+
• Noteworthy Cast: Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle, Nate Mann

Dads across the nation—nay, the globe—have been waiting with baited breath for this World War II drama, a splashy epic about American airmen in the 100th Bomb Group (known as the “Bloody Hundredth”), as well as a group of Tuskegee airmen. It’s executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, who know a thing or two about this topic and time period.

Feud: Capote vs. the Swans

• Premiere Date: January 31
• Network: FX
• Noteworthy Cast: Tom Hollander, Naomi Watts, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny, Calista Flockhart, Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald

Not to be all gender essentialist, but Capote vs. the Swans is to the girlies as Masters of the Air is to the bros. The Gus Van Sant–helmed second installment of Ryan Murphy’s anthology focuses on Capote (Hollander) and his relationships with New York’s foremost mid-century socialites, which Capote torched by mining their lives for his long-promised follow-up to In Cold Blood.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith

• Premiere Date: February 2
• Network: Prime Video
• Noteworthy Cast: Maya Erskine, Donald Glover

Originally, Glover and Francesca Sloane’s adaptation of the 2005 film that birthed Brangelina was meant to be a vehicle for Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. When the Fleabag auteur exited the project, reportedly over creative differences with Glover, Pen15’s Erskine came on board. The spy comedy’s success depends on the chemistry of its leads—so we’ll be watching to see if the swap worked out in everyone’s favor.

Curb Your Enthusiasm

• Premiere Date: February 4
• Network: HBO
• Noteworthy Cast: Larry David, Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin, J.B. Smoove

What might happen as David’s beloved cringe comedy winds to a close, after 23 years and 12 seasons? Though we won’t know until February, David’s statement about its conclusion offers one cheeky possibility: “As Curb comes to an end, I will now have the opportunity to finally shed this ‘Larry David’ persona and become the person God intended me to be—the thoughtful, kind, caring, considerate human being I was until I got derailed by portraying this malignant character. And so, ‘Larry David,’ I bid you farewell. Your misanthropy will not be missed. And for those of you who would like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at Doctors Without Borders.”

Abbott Elementary

• Premiere Date: February 7
• Network: ABC
• Noteworthy Cast: Quinta Brunson, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Tyler James Williams

Thank goodness the strikes are over, and the long-delayed third season of Abbott can finally premiere. The show’s first teaser is light on plot details, but promises more of the gentle, feel-good comedy that’s been Brunson’s bread and butter. Also, Walter’s Melissa leading a fire drill by prompting the “most flammable kids” to go to the front of the line.

The New Look

• Premiere Date: February 14
• Network: Apple TV+
• Noteworthy Cast: Ben Mendelsohn, Juliette Binoche

Two heavyweight actors play a pair of fashion icons in Todd A. Kessler’s historical drama, with Mendelsohn as Christian Dior and Binoche as Coco Chanel. “The interwoven saga follows the surprising stories of Dior’s contemporaries and rivals from Chanel to Pierre Balmain, Cristóbal Balenciaga and more; and, provides a stunning view into the atelier, designs and clothing created by Christian Dior through collaboration with the House of Dior,” the streamer writes. Sounds magnifique.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

• Premiere Date: February 22
• Network: Netflix
• Noteworthy Cast: Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Dallas Liu, Daniel Dae Kim

The last attempt at a live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon’s blockbuster animated saga, uh, didn’t go so well. Netflix is giving it another go, pairing newcomers with veteran character actors (including Kim, Ken Leung, Danny Pudi, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and George Takei) to craft a show that matches the original’s epic sweep. Though the show’s endured some backstage drama, the streamer seems bullish on it; in a few months, we’ll see why.

Shōgun

• Premiere Date: February 27
• Network: FX
• Noteworthy Cast: Cosmo Jarvis, Hiroyuki Sanada, Anna Sawai

’Tis the season for big swings. FX is betting big on this historical drama, based on James Clavell’s mega-best-selling novel and following three intertwined characters: “John Blackthorne, a risk-taking English sailor who ends up shipwrecked in Japan, a land whose unfamiliar culture will ultimately redefine him; Lord Toranaga, a shrewd, powerful daimyo, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals; and Lady Mariko, a woman with invaluable skills but dishonorable family ties, who must prove her value and allegiance.”

The Regime

• Premiere Date: March 3
• Network: HBO
• Noteworthy Cast: Kate Winslet, Martha Plimpton, Hugh Grant, Andrea Riseborough

Would you like to live in a European autocracy run by Kate Winslet? Maybe not after watching this limited series, created and written by Succession and The Menu alum Will Tracy. Succession’s Frank Rich is also an executive producer, and the writing comes from a team that includes the screenwriter of Bodies Bodies Bodies and satirical novelist Gary Shteyngart—all auspicious signs for those who like their comedy pitch black.

Girls5Eva

• Premiere Date: March 14
• Network: Netflix
• Noteworthy Cast: Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Paula Pell, Busy Philipps

Thank goodness this absolute gem of a sitcom didn’t die on Peacock after two seasons: Its third will appear on Netflix, where the girls can hopefully develop a Kimmy Schmidt–esque following. Season three finds our ladies on the road, attempting to jump-start their comeback with a cross-country tour. According to Netflix, they’ll also “play a billionaire’s birthday party” (yes) and “cross paths with the biggest pop star on the planet” (double yes).

Manhunt

• Premiere Date: March 15
• Network: Apple TV+
• Noteworthy Cast: Tobias Menzies, Anthony Boyle, Lovie Simone, Matt Walsh

This thriller about the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination takes a surprising approach: “I saw it as more of a conspiracy thriller, more of a cat-and-mouse detective story,” producer and showrunner Monica Beletsky tells VF. “I loved the idea of making Stanton the cat to Booth’s mouse.” That would be John Wilkes Booth, played by Boyle, and Edwin Stanton, played by Menzies—the Secretary of War who made it his mission to track the assassin down.

Palm Royale 

• Premiere Date: March 20
• Network: Apple TV+
• Noteworthy Cast: Kristen Wiig, Ricky Martin, Leslie Bibb, Kaia Gerber

If Kristen Wiig as a plucky outsider trying to break into Palm Beach high society doesn’t sound like a good time to you, then what are we even doing here? The show, set in 1969, is a loose adaptation of Juliet McDaniel’s novel Mr. & Mrs. American Pie. Expect pastel paisleys and tongues sharp enough to cut a Florida orange.

3 Body Problem 

• Premiere Date: March 21
• Network: Netflix
• Noteworthy Cast: Rosalind Chao, Benedict Wong, Jonathan Pryce

David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’s long-awaited Game of Thrones follow-up is this similarly expansive adaptation, based on Liu Cixin’s massively popular sci-fi series and cocreated with True Blood alum Alexander Woo. Could it possibly achieve the same heights as Thrones—or at least erase the bad taste left by that show’s still divisive finale?

Apples Never Fall 

• Premiere Date: March TBD
• Network: Peacock
• Noteworthy Cast: Annette Bening, Sam Neill, Alison Brie, Jake Lacy

Bening and Neil star as a pair of retirees who find their lives upended by a sudden disappearance. If this mystery-in-the-suburbs show carries a whiff of Big Little Lies, that’s because it’s also based on a novel by Liane Moriarty—a good sign, as far as we’re concerned.

Fallout

• Premiere Date: April 12
• Network: Prime Video
• Noteworthy Cast: Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan

Westworld creator Jonathan Nolan adapts the globally popular video game, set two centuries after nuclear war devastates a near-future Earth. Our protagonist is Lucy, who’s spent her life literally sheltered from the harsh world around her. The show tracks “her collision with the hard reality of other people’s experiences and what happened to the people who, frankly, were left behind, left to die,” says Nolan.

Bridgerton 

• Premiere Date: May 16
• Network: Netflix
• Noteworthy Cast: Nicola Coughlan, Luke Newton, Simone Ashley, Jonathan Bailey

This season of Shondaland’s scandalous romance focuses on Coughlan’s Penelope Featherington, the gossip behind the show’s juicy Lady Whistledown column. Its two batches of four episodes—the second arrives June 13—will also feature a few new characters, including charismatic Marcus Anderson (Daniel Francis) and dim but dashing Harry Dankworth (James Phoon).

Agatha: Darkhold Diaries 

• Premiere Date: Undated
• Network: Disney+
• Noteworthy Cast: Kathryn Hahn, Aubrey Plaza, Patti LuPone, Sasheer Zamata

Yes, this fantastical miniseries marks the return of Hahn’s WandaVision bad guy, a bright spot in Marvel’s recent output. But it’s even more important as the project that prompted Plaza and LuPone to briefly become roommates.

A Man in Full 

• Premiere Date: Undated
• Network: Netflix
• Noteworthy Cast: Jeff Daniels, Diane Lane, William Jackson Harper

This may be 2024’s most highly pedigreed series: a David E. Kelley–created, Regina King–directed adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s 1998 follow-up to The Bonfire of the Vanities. The book, Michael Lewis wrote in The New York Times, “contains passages as powerful and as beautiful as anything written not merely by contemporary American novelists but by any American novelist.” No pressure, everyone.

Bodkin 

• Premiere Date: Undated
• Network: Netflix
• Noteworthy Cast: Will Forte, Robyn Cara, Siobhan Cullen

Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground takes a turn into dark comedy with this genre-hopping series, billed as a thriller about podcasters who head to Ireland to solve a mystery—then “discover a story much bigger and weirder than anyone could’ve ever imagined.” The show is anchored by Forte, who’s well-versed in bringing to life amiable weirdos.

The Sympathizer 

• Premiere Date: Undated
• Network: HBO
• Noteworthy Cast: Hoa Xuande, Robert Downey Jr., Sandra Oh

Wait, maybe this is the year’s most highly pedigreed series: an adaptation of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize winner starring and produced by RDJ, and helmed by South Korean master Park Chan-wook. Xuande stars as a slippery character known as the Captain, a North Vietnamese spy embedded in the US near the end of the Vietnam War. Downey plays multiple characters, befitting a story about shifting identities and loyalties.

We Were the Lucky Ones 

• Premiere Date: Undated
• Network: Hulu
• Noteworthy Cast: Joey King, Logan Lerman, Robin Weigert

If Masters of the Air doesn’t give you your WWII fix, there’s this limited series based on Georgia Hunter’s novel, about a Jewish family’s struggle to survive the war, then reunite. Many of the Jewish characters also happen to be played by Jewish actors, a refreshing turn for a Hollywood production.

The Jinx: Part 2 

• Premiere Date: Undated
• Network: HBO
• Noteworthy Cast: Robert Durst

Nearly 10 years ago, The Jinx launched a wave of true-crime docuseries and podcasts largely on the strength of its unbelievable final episode, in which Durst seemed to accidentally confess to the murders he’d long denied committing. Andrew Jarecki’s follow-up will show the aftermath of that admission, as well as Durst’s subsequent trial and incarceration. And the burping!

You (Netflix)

• Premiere Date: Undated
• Network: Netflix
• Noteworthy Cast: Penn Badgley

How can Sera Gamble and Greg Berlanti’s deliciously wicked antihero thriller wrap up the story of Joe Goldberg (Badgley), a handsome serial killer who somehow always manages to get away with murder? With style and sharp commentary, we expect, as well as a body count to rival Dexter Morgan’s. And maybe a few ghostly appearances from Elizabeth Lail and Victoria Pedretti, because we still miss them.

House of the Dragon 

• Premiere Date: Undated
• Network: HBO
• Noteworthy Cast: Emma D’Arcy, Olivia Cooke, Tom Glynn-Carney, Matt Smith

War comes to Westeros—again—in the sophomore season of HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel, in which Rhaenyra (D’Arcy) and Alicent (Cooke) begin their civil scuffle in earnest. Now that we’re past the exposition and time-jumping of season one, hopefully House of the Dragon can breathe a bit, immersing us more fully into the Targaryen family’s world. At least the show’s in good hands: Thrones vet Ryan Condal, who ran season one with Miguel Sapochnik and is now going solo.

Interior Chinatown

• Premiere Date: Undated
• Network: Hulu
• Noteworthy Cast: Jimmy O. Yang

Taika Waititi directs the first episode of adaptation of Charles Yu’s novel, about a background actor (Yang) on a procedural who’s inadvertently thrust into the spotlight after he witnesses an actual crime. Silicon Valley’s Yang deserves a high-profile project to help him break bigger; maybe this is it.

Yellowstone

• Premiere Date: Undated
• Network: Paramount
• Noteworthy Cast: Kevin Costner, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley

The biggest series on TV will come to a close—sort of—in 2024, as Paramount sunsets original-flavor Yellowstone (read: the one that stars Costner) and launches a new spin-off called 2024, with Matthew McConaughey reportedly in talks to star. Whatever happens next to the Dutton family, your uncle will be watching.
