2023 is going to be another big year for TV with Marvel and Star Wars projects aplenty. From the return of Loki, What If?, and The Mandalorian to new series like Echo, Secret Invasion, and Ahsoka, Disney+ is likely going to continue its reign of popularity. We also have the long-awaited return of Teen Wolf (in movie form) on Paramount+, HBO’s The Last of Us adaptation, Henry Cavill’s final season as Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher, and so much more to look forward to. Read on to see what new and returning series will be worth tuning into this year.

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Season 2

Release date: Jan. 4

Mayfair Witches

Release date: Jan. 8 AMC’s acquisition of spooky author Anne Rice’s oeuvre has already borne beautiful gothic fruit with a pitch perfect adaptation of Interview with the Vampire in 2022. Mayfair Witches will be a test as to whether cable television can accommodate witches as well as vampires. Alexandria Daddario stars as Dr. Rowan Fielding, the unlikely heir to a family of magic-users in this take on Rice’s trilogy of The Live of the Mayfair Witches.

Vikings: Valhalla Season 2

Release date: Jan. 12 Historical drama Vikings was one of the most beloved swords-and-shields TV epic of its time. It’s only fitting then that after its six-season run on History Channel, Vikings entered into that same serene afterlife where all Norse warriors go: Valhalla. Now on Netflix, Vikings followup series Vikings: Valhalla follows a new generation of viking adventurers as they forge new territory and encounter new adversaries. Season 2 will pick up after the fall of Kattegat and will see the beginning of the end of the Viking Age.

The Last of Us

Release date: Jan. 15

Wolf Pack

Release date: Jan. 26 Teen Wolf creator Jeff Davis is back, bringing his latest supernatural series, Wolf Pack, to Paramount+. Even though Wolf Pack isn’t a Teen Wolf spin-off, it seems like it will have a lot of the same elements that kept fans tuning in to Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) and his wolf pack every week. Based on the book series of the same name by Edo Van Belkom, Wolf Pack is set in California as teens Everett (Armani Jackson) and Blake (Bella Shepard) find themselves caught up in the supernatural aftermath of a deadly wildfire. The legendary Sarah Michelle Gellar also stars in the series as arson investigator Kristen Ramsey, a mysterious figure whose true role in the story has yet to be revealed.

Teen Wolf: The Movie

Release date: Jan. 26 Over five years after the series finale, the cast of MTV’s Teen Wolf is heading back to Beacon Hills (minus Dylan O’Brien and Arden Cho), this time with a movie on Paramount+. When a deadly enemy from their past returns, Scott (Tyler Posey) and his pack team up once again to save their hometown. But not only has the Nogitsune somehow returned to wreak havoc, it turns out that their friend, Allison (Crystal Reed), has also come back from the dead. However, this isn’t the same Allison that our heroes know and love, but instead a deadly hunter with seemingly no memory of the friends or loved ones she left behind. Even though Scott and the others are no longer teens, it doesn’t seem like the supernatural fight will be any easier this time around.

You Season 4

Release date: Part 1 Feb. 9, Part 2 March 9

Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

Release date: Feb. 10 Anyone who has played the mobile game Marvel Snap could tell you that Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur make for a very complementary pair. Now Marvel fans will get to see that dynamic play out on television in this Disney Channel series starring the relatively obscure comic duo. After 13-year-old super genius Lunela Lafayette accidentally brings a 10-ton Tyrannosaurus rex into present day New York City, she teams up with her new friend to keep the neighborhood safe.

Star Trek: Picard Season 3

Release date: Feb. 16 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds helped breath some new life into TV’s premier sci-fi franchise in 2022. Now Anson Mount’s Captain Christopher Pike is handing the reins back to Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard to keep the Star Trek good times rolling in 2023. Though the first two seasons of Star Trek: Picard received mixed reviews, the third and final season has a secret weapon: more The Next Generation era cameos and castings than you could ever conceive of. That’s right: it’s Riker time.

Carnival Row Season 2

Release date: Feb. 17

The Blacklist Season 10

Release date: Feb. 26 10 years in and the story of Raymond “Red” Reddington’s (James Spader) blacklist of criminals and ne’er-do-wells isn’t slowing down. In the season 9 finale of NBC’s long-running procedural, Red finally confronted a Blacklist big fish in the form of Marvin Gerard (Fisher Stevens). Now, in the show’s 10th season, a blast from the past will turn up to possibly jumpstart Red’s endgame.

Harley Quinn: A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special

Release date: Feb. TBD Season 3 of the animated series Harley Quinn may have concluded, but that doesn’t mean we’re done with Harlivy until next season. The series’ first holiday special will follow Harley (Kaley Cuoco) and Ivy (Lake Bell) as they spend their first Valentine’s day together as a couple, as well as give us glimpses of how the rest of the crew spends the love-filled holiday. But I definitely wouldn’t go into this expecting typical rom-com vibes, Harley Quinn is very much an adult cartoon, and based on the title, things are probably going to get raunchy (in a really good and incredibly funny way).

The Mandalorian Season 3

Release date: March 1

Shadow and Bone Season 2

Release date: March 16 The Grishaverse is returning to Netflix with Shadow and Bone season 2 set to premiere on March 16. After the events of season 1, Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li) is on the run, not only from General Kirigan (Ben Barnes), who wants to use her powers to amplify his own, but also from those who consider her a traitor for going against him. In Ketterdam, the Crows will once again be tempted with a heist that could change their standing for good. Season 1 did a great job of introducing us to the layers of this fantasy world, and I’m excited to see where season 2 takes these characters.

Yellowjackets Season 2

Release date: March 24 streaming, March 26 broadcast The first season of Yellowjackets was intense, and it doesn’t seem like season 2 will be any different. In the ‘90s storyline, we saw the survivors begin their descent into the cult-like behavior seen in the pilot, but they haven’t quite made the leap to ritualistic cannibalism yet. Given that Lottie’s cult is very much alive and well in the present, we may see even more similarities between the past and present timelines throughout season 2. As much as the survivors want to move on from their traumatic time in the woods, they likely won’t ever be able to truly escape the horrors of their past.

Secret Invasion

Release date: Spring TBD

Star Wars: Visions Volume 2

Release date: Spring TBD As franchises like Star Wars continue to grow exponentially bigger, they tend to want to explore the anthology route of storytelling. And why not! A whole galaxy of curious people, aliens, and force-users means an almost infinite supply of narrative potential. Disney+’s Star Wars: Visions puts that narrative potential to good use. Like season 1 before it, Star Wars: Visions season 2 (or Volume 2 in its preferred parlance) will present another round of lushly animated parables from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

The Walking Dead: Dead City

Release date: April TBD Rumors of The Walking Dead‘s demise were greatly exaggerated. Though AMC’s flagship zombie series concluded with an 11th and final season in 2022, its legacy will carry on in numerous spinoffs. The first of those spinoffs will be The Walking Dead: Dead City (previously subtitled Isle of the Dead). This two-hander will pick up with Walking Dead favorites Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they brave the horrors of a post-apocalyptic Manhattan. Of all the character duos on The Walking Dead, Maggie and Negan have the most potential for fireworks as the latter, you know, beat the former’s husband to death with a baseball bat.

The Witcher Season 3

Release date: Summer TBD

Good Omens Season 2

Release date: Summer TBD Neil Gaiman adaptations have had a bit of an up and down time on television. While American Gods represents the least successful iteration and the writer’s many works, and The Sandman represents the best, Good Omens settles into a comfortable middle. This Prime Video series follows the demon Crowley (David Tenant) and the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) as they seek to forestall the coming of Armageddon. Since Good Omens season 1 adapted the entirety of Gaiman and co-writer Terry Pratchett’s novel, season 2 is set to come through with a wholly original tale.

Echo

Release date: Summer TBD After kicking ass in Hawkeye, Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) is set to return in her own series, Echo, on Disney+. According to Alaqua Cox, “Maya’s actions are leading her to Oklahoma to reconnect to her Indigenous roots and find the definition of family and community.” But given that Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio are reprising their roles as Daredevil and Kingpin, respectively, it seems as though Maya’s journey to find peace and a fresh start after her violent and vengeful arc in Hawkeye may not be as straightforward as she hoped.

Loki Season 2

Release date: Summer TBD

X-Men ’97

Release date: Fall TBD For a certain collection of geriatric millennials and well-placed Gen-X’ers, there is no sound more potent than the opening beats of the X-Men cartoon’s theme song. X-Men: The Animated Series ran for five seasons between 1992 and 1997 and in the process became many casual superhero fans’ introduction to Marvel’s iconic mutants. With Disney fully in possession of the X-Men now, Marvel is wisely deciding to just do the whole animated series thing over again – same style, same characters, same fun!

Ironheart

Release date: Fall TBD Riri Williams (Dominque Thorne) had a somewhat traumatic introduction into the MCU in Black Panter: Wakanda Forever. She was forced into hiding, kidnapped by Namor (Tenoch Huerta), and had her warehouse stormed by the feds. However, she also proved herself as a highly intelligent scientist and a capable hero. In her own series, Ironheart, it seems like we’ll get to see Riri both as a student at MIT and in her hometown of Chicago as she works to recreate “the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man,” according to Marvel.

Agatha: Coven of Chaos

Release date: Winter TBD

Star Wars: Ahsoka

Release date: TBD Set during the same galactic time period as The Mandalorian, after the fall of the Empire, Ahsoka is set to follow former jedi padawan and apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano as she tracks down Grand Admiral Thrawn in the hopes of finding the young Jedi Ezra Bridger. The two were last seen together at the end of Star Wars: Rebels when Ezra launched them both into deep hyperspace to save his home planet of Lothal. Ahsoka has appeared in other Star Wars series as well from Star Wars: The Clone Wars to Tales of the Jedi, but this is the first time that we’ll get to see her fully headline her own series.

Only Murders in the Building Season 3

Release date: TBD With its third season, Hulu comedy Only Murders in the Building is set to do the unthinkable: cover a murder not in the building. Yes, despite podcasters Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and Mabel Mora’s (Selena Gomez) vow to address homicides solely within the Arcadia, season 3 looks like it will branching out a bit. Or at least that’s what we can glean from season 2’s enigmatic closing scene in which Charles appears to be set up for the onstage murder of a … let’s say, Paul Rudd type. Wherever the murder is, Only Murders in the Building should continue to be a good time.

Marvel’s What If … ? Season 2

Release date: TBD
