Marvel Television Series

So we don’t know all of what is coming out. The fact that we have Ms Marvel, She Hulk, and Moon Knight all with footage, I think it’s safe to so we’ll be getting those series. Plus an animated Captain Carter series coming March. I’m assuming this is picking up with where What If left off. But since we haven’t heard anything, I’m guessing no live action before that, which means we have some time between shows.

The Lord of the Rings

This I think was on the list last year, and I’m still interested in it. I do not know what the show is going to be about or how it is going to go, but I think that it could be cool to see what they do with it. I know it’s going to be characters that are old and new, which I kind of just wish it was new. I know it’s not super related but the Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth board game, I wish that had been only new characters. Don’t try and jam in more history. But I will watch this when it comes out.

The Witcher: Blood Origin

It’s a live action spin-off, I think there is an animated show as well. This one is going to be from before the events of the Witcher. I’m guessing it’ll deal some with the rise of the Witchers and that lore. I don’t know much else beyond that. But I really like the lore of The Witcher series and video games, and I still need to read the books. The fact that it’s a show runner who is tied to the main Witcher series. This also sounds like a one season show, just to explore some history, which could be good.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

So while I am looking forward to this show, it is a Star Wars character that we already know about. So I think it will be a lot of fun, but I don’t know what I need a show about him between everything. But then again, it could be cool. I’m more ready for more new Star Wars shows to come out. Book of Boba Fett even is more interesting and he’s a character I like less. But we know less about what became of him with Obi-Wan there is a clear spot he needs to end up, which makes it way less interesting.

Ahsoka (Star Wars Shows)

Another Star Wars show, and really I wanted to talk about Obi-Wan Kenobi separately because I had more to say on it. But any of the Star Wars shows, I’m going to watch. And Ahsoka was a fun character to see on the Mandalorian. I do want to see further away from the main Star Wars storyline as well. I still need to wrap up Visions but was really enjoying that thus far.

Halo

I don’t know how I’m going to watch this one this year, but it’s a big show. And while Halo isn’t a video game that I’ve played that much of, just a little bit of the first one in college, the lore and the world are interesting to me. I’m curious to see what they can do with it, because there was talk of a Halo movie, but a show based off of it is actually more interesting to me because it might be given a chance to grow and shine.

Supernatural Academy

If you read my Top 5 Television Shows and Top 5 Books, You’ll know that I like stories where it’s someone going to a supernatural academy. This looks like a young adult or middle grade fantasy book series that is being adapted as an animated show. Will it be good, who knows, but it is the type of show that I’m going to watch to checkout. And from what I can tell of the animation style, it looks good. Plus I get Peacock with my cable, might as well use it more.

Around the World in 80 Days

This is a classic Jules Verne novel, and while I won’t likely be watching this immediately when it comes out, I do want to watch it. Add in that it’s David Tennant who I really liked from Doctor Who, I’m more likely to watch it. I think this might be one that my wife, Kristen, will be even more excited about. It’s coming to BBC One/PBS, so it might be one of those that I need it come to streaming so I can watch it.

Stranger Things Season 4

Hopper has been in Russia for a long time, so long he even became the Red Guardian, oh, wait, didn’t world. But I’m excited to see what happens next. I won’t lie, I think this maybe should be the last season of Stranger Things, or maybe one more to wrap up loose ends. The kids are getting older and the show feels like it’s best when you have younger kids, older, and adults. Though maybe a new generation is brought it, but we’ll have to see. I’m still really excited to see what happens.

That’s my full list, and honestly, that’s a very full list. Plus I have shows to catch up on like Locke & Key which I’m still going through season two and might have season 3 coming out next year. Arcane is one that I want to watch and let’s not even start talking about anime because, well, I’ll be doing that soon.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – Yup, I can now put MCU on a TV show list. And this isn’t even one of the show titles that I’m looking forward to all that much, But The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be the first one out there, and I’m curious to see how important it will be for the MCU. Definitely keep on eye on my #10MinMarvel podcast (or ear) to hear any rumors about that. But I am curious to see Zemo used more fully than he was in Civil War.

Lord of the Rings – Controversial pick here, but I’m very interested in it. I don’t know what story they are going to tell and how it’s going to go, but an interesting story set in the world of Middle Earth could be interesting. I just don’t know enough about it, but I definitely am curious. More Hobbit adventures could be cool.

Obi-Wan Kenobi – Disney+ show as well, and again not much known about it. We know that we’re getting Ewan McGregor back, we know it takes place before Star Wars: A New Hope. I’m super curious about it after how much I’ve liked The Mandalorian. If it weren’t for that shows success, I don’t think I’d care that much, but now I’m excited for a new type of Star Wars, that I hope this can capture as well as the Mandalorian did.

Wheel of Time – This book series is so much, like so much of a meandering plot, so many characters, so much going on that doesn’t need to. But, I’m hoping a show will be able to adapt it into something even more enjoyable, because I do enjoy the book series. I like the diverse cast thus far, and I like the fact that I don’t know a ton of the names. If they keep close to the book plot wise, but just tighten it up, that would be great.

The Stand – Stephen King, Post Apocalyptic, I’m in. Now, I haven’t actually watched Under the Dome yet, but I’m definitely interested in anything that is Stephen King. And, since it’s him, it’s going to be supernatural in nature as well. Overall, I think that this is the one of the two Stephen King adaptations that I’m most interested in, because it’s more out there.

Locke & Key – Let’s go from Stephen King to Joe Hill. I haven’t read all of these trade paperbacks/comics yet, but I really want to. The first one was really cool and I definitely liked the horror vibe to it. I’ll be curious to see how they build it into a show, but I don’t know enough of the story to really be able to talk about how well I think they’ll be able to adapt it.

Alright, there are way more shows, and like I said, this is just new shows (some which might not come out in 2020), and I’m going to be busy watching all of these, plus shows that I want to continue watching. So, what are you looking forward to? Is there some something that you want to see adapted (cough Dresden Files cough) that should come to TV?
