Top 5 Most Anticipated Television Shows of 2023

5. The Witcher Season 3

It’ll be Henry Cavill’s last season but that’s fine, I still expect to enjoy it a lot. I’ve enjoyed both seasons and while they aren’t the most consistent, I love the lore of the world. Season 2 gave us a good tease of something big at the end and now I’m curious to see how they’ll pay it off.

4. Fallout

I don’t know much about this show. In fact, I’m not 100% certain it’ll come out in 2023. But if it does from Amazon Prime, I’ll be curious about it. The world is interesting and I don’t have that much exposure to it. It’s probably a video game that I should checkout. But I think something like this with a big would could translate well to a television series.

3. Shadow and Bone Season 2

I really loved the first season, so to get a 2^nd, I’m excited to see what is going to happen. The characters are interesting, the world is interesting and generally, I didn’t have any real qualms with the show, the only thing, and this isn’t a bad thing, I might want to rewatch season 1. It’s been just long enough that I’ll want to know what happened and relive it again.

2. Star Wars Shows

We should be getting the Mandalorian Season 3, which I’m so excited for. Plus the Ahsoka show, also really excited for that one. I know I need to catch up on stuff like Andor, Kenobi and finally finish Book of Boba Fett, but none of them really excited me. Mandalorian Season 3 is must watch the week that it comes out for me. And I hope that Ahsoka will be the same. Oh, and I almost forgot Skeleton Crew which sounds like a lot of fun as well and isn’t tied into Star Wars cannon seemingly as much. So I’m more interested in it.

1. Marvel Shows

Obviously, and there might be a number of them with Secret Invasion, Loki Season 2, Echo, Agatha Coven of Chaos, Ironheart, and maybe What If Season 2 as well in the mix. If you want to know my favorites or most anticipated in that and see how they rank against the movies, check out the January 3^rd episode of 10 Minute Marvel.

Honorable Mentions

Of course I have some of those as well.

• But the first one is Anasi Boys an adaptation of a Neil Gaiman book but one that I thought was just alright. It’s certainly one I’d checkout, if it sounds interesting enough once some reviews start coming in.
• Extinction, on TNT not a streaming show, also sounds interesting, a software engineer who gets stuck in a time loop where the world keeps ending in different ways, that sounds entertaining. I believe it’s already been out in the UK, it’s coming to the US in 2023.
• Probably should be on the list already, but The Continental coming to Starz, which means it might be a bit until I see it. But this one I do want to see, a prequel series to the John Wick films about the Continental Hotel from that series, set in the late 1970’s.
• Dune Sisterhood because it is a Dune show, don’t know too much about it, but I’m curious. It’s on HBO Max, and still alive, so it’s lower on the list because who knows when I’d see it.
• And I’m not seeing it for this year, but if Wheel of Time Season 2 comes out, that’ll be towards the top of the list.
• Also, Stranger Things season 5. But that is supposed to start filming this year, so unlikely to come out.

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.
