As we step into 2024, the television landscape is already buzzing with excitement. From the discourse-stirring Baby Reindeer to Amazon’s video-game-inspired series Fallout, the year promises a thrilling ride for TV enthusiasts.
The anticipation doesn’t stop there. The year is packed with more Star Wars spin-offs, eagerly awaited returning seasons of shows like The Diplomat, The Bear, and Squid Game, and fresh offerings like Jake Gyllenhaal’s debut TV venture, Presumed Innocent.
Here’s a glimpse of the most anticipated TV shows of 2024:
The Acolyte: This Star Wars spin-off on Disney+ promises an interstellar adventure. With a star-studded cast including Industry’s Amandla Stenberg, Squid Game’s Lee Jung-jae, and The Good Place’s Manny Jacinto, The Acolyte is set to captivate audiences.
Queenie: This series follows Queenie (Dionne Brown), a 25-year-old South London resident navigating life after a messy break-up. Based on Candice Carty-Williams’ witty 2019 novel, Queenie offers a relatable depiction of a quarter-life crisis.
Presumed Innocent: This series marks Jake Gyllenhaal’s much-anticipated small screen debut. In this 8-part limited series, Gyllenhaal plays Rusty Sabich, a prosecutor accused of a murder he was investigating. The series is set to premiere in June.
House of the Dragon Season 2: The return of Game of Thrones in its spin-off, House of the Dragon, was a pleasant surprise in 2022. The second season, sans Paddy Considine, is expected to continue its reign in the fantasy genre.
Hotel Cocaine: This series brings to life The Mutiny, a real-life Miami hotel nightclub known for its notorious clientele in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. The hotel, still standing today, is set to get the television treatment.
