this list we’re looking at the most
highly anticipated television series
scheduled for release in 2019 including
both new seasons of popular shows and
the debuts of entirely new series number
10 The Twilight Zone this admittedly
isn’t the first time that the Twilight
Zone has been rebooted in fact this 2019
iteration will actually be its third
television revival and considering that
neither of the past two attempts could
compete with the quality of the original
1959 series you might be asking how is
this exciting well we’ve got two words
for you Jordan Peele the comedic actor
turned filmmaker established himself as
one of the most essential new voices of
horror with 2017 s get out serving as
this reboots presenter and executive
producer Peele is sure to bring a unique
and inspired voice to the franchise
infusing the anthology series with funny
emotionally resonant and timely social
commentary number nine Good Omens the
weird and wonderful works of acclaimed
author and comic book writer Neil Gaiman
are admittedly tough to adapt his magnum
opus Sandman has been in and out of
development hell since the 90s
thankfully with the success of the hyper
stylish American Gods it’s been proven
that even gaymans weirdest offerings can
work with the right budget and creative
team that’s a good thing because his
collaboration with the similarly
unconventional Terry Pratchett Good
Omens
is not an easy story to retell it was
Ben Walton
from the looks of the series trailer
however they’ve absolutely nailed it
David Tennant and Michael Sheen are
truly inspired choices for the roles of
Crowley the demon and Ozzy rafail the
angel number 8 what we do in the shadows
with the success of thor ragnarok Tycho
YTD has arrived in Hollywood big-time as
fans will be quick to point out though
the masses are late to recognize his
talent whitey tees feature films boy and
hunt for the will directs illan t’ in
2014 he teamed up with fellow New
Zealander
Jemaine Clement of Flight of the
Conchords Fame for the critically
acclaimed horror comedy mockumentary
what we do in the shadows about vampire
roommates which the duo co-directed and
starred in we were worried at first you
know this is going to urinate on
everything but they actually really
polite and pretty clean there was
obviously that where we’ll smell which
permeated the entire house for the first
half an hour back we open some windows
and got rid of that now FX is adapting
it for American television the premise
certainly lends itself to a serialized
format and thankfully has ytt and Clemen
involved as executive producers we love
to chase each other around the house
number 7 big little lies season 2
originally a miniseries HBO’s adaptation
of LeAnn Moriarty’s novel big little
lies was met with rave critical reviews
series creator David E Kelly must have
known he had crafted something great as
the finale included a scene hinting at a
possible continuation to the story we
have to talk about know in December 2017
after the shows numerous Award
nominations a season two became official
though you might fear that a second
season risks tarnishing the sterling
reputation of the initial series and
while the direction of jean-marc vallée
will sorely be missed
Andrea Arnold is a great replacement and
we have faith in David E Kelly’s vision
also the inclusion of Meryl Streep that
inspires confidence number six mind
hunter season two the problem with being
among the first wave of fans to discover
a show is the interminable wait for a
second season
this is especially painful with a
Netflix original series because you
binge all the episodes in no time rather
than savoring them I’m just an extremely
accomplished murderer who spent my adult
life successfully evading capture
such was the case for many people with
David Fincher and Joe Penhall’s
brilliant seventies crime drama mind
hunter featuring a number of inspired
performances and delving deep into the
minds of serial killers this series has
so much left to offer we can’t wait to
see exactly what it has in store for us
in season two number five
true detective season 3 speaking of
crime dramas that have kept us waiting
how about this anthology series after a
captivating must watch first season
starring Woody Harrelson and Matthew
McConaughey
true detective disappointed fans and
critics with its notably lackluster
season 2 after a few years off series
creator and writer NIC pizzolatto
returns to bat for a third time and
people are hoping this third season will
redeem the anthology series finally
washing the bad taste of season 2 from
our mouths with Academy Award winner
Maher shelah alley in the leading role
as Detective Wayne Hayes and based on
what we’ve seen so far there’s plenty of
cause to hope for the best
number four Watchmen when you’re talking
about arguably the most celebrated and
revered graphic novel ever published
adaptation efforts are always going to
be tricky much like Zack Snyder’s 2009
film divided critics and fans alike this
2019 HBO series is sure to inspire much
debate especially since Damon Lindelof
is apparently taking the source material
[Music]
rather than adapt the graphic novel
directly The Watchmen series apparently
explores a new story in the world of
Watchmen involving both characters we
know well and new ones like Tim Blake
Nelson Looking Glass only time will tell
how its received
but with Lindelof leading this
high-profile project it’s sure to be
interesting number three The Witcher the
video game curse it’s real and it’s
infuriating where films have failed
however there’s reason to believe that a
TV series could succeed with the right
video game franchise right The Witcher
be just that property it’s worth noting
that The Witcher was a book series first
and that in Poland it’s already been
adapted into a poorly received film and
mediocre series under the title the
hexer to be fair though those
productions were very modest in 2019
we’ll get to see Geralt of Rivia
like never before in a big-budget
Netflix production with Henry Cavill
playing the titular character this
Witcher might finally take video game
adaptations to great heights number 2
stranger things season 3 we might be
living in the Golden Age of big-budget
cinematic television but modern viewers
still have a nostalgic streak a mile
wide thankfully Netflix and the duffer
brothers have created the perfect series
for all those who long for the simple
pleasures and delightful quirks of the
1980s Susan Carter Luna in 2019 the
cultural phenomenon that is stranger
things returns for a third season of
old-school scares and childhood
adventures with 11 Mike and the gang and
clear path to the game yeah and then we
all die well that’s one point of view
all parties involved have kept mum about
plot details but given half a mind
flayer ominously towered over the upside
down version of the school in the season
2 finale we have a pretty good idea
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
[Music]
you will not convict the defendant just
because he was at the center of all this
depravity but because he was the
orchestrator
of it did your journey give you insight
on how to win the war no longer certain
that one ever does win a war I am Number
One Game of Thrones Season eight what a
mixed bag of emotions on the one hand
were desperate to finally get more Game
of Thrones especially after having been
made to wait twice as long as usual for
the eighth season to arrive on the other
hand it’s excruciating to think that
this is the end of the astonishing
adventure we’ve been on since 2011 I
will always be a threat so put an end to
me what will we sit around theorizing
about these are questions for future
for the time being we’re just excited to
see how things turn out now that winter
and war have truly come to the Seven
