As the summer comes to an end, there are still plenty of new TV shows on the way in 2023 – and beyond. The ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes may have resulted in delays for some titles (Grey’s Anatomy season 20 isn’t coming our way any time this year, it seems), but the calendar of small screen releases is still looking pretty full.
Whether you’re tuning into Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, or regular terrestrial television, you can look forward to shows like Sex Education season 4, Loki season 2, and The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon releasing in the next few weeks. Looking further ahead, expect new installments of True Detective, Bridgerton, and a new Daredevil series.
We’ve got the lowdown on all that and more with our picks of all the best new TV shows lined up for the rest of 2023 and into 2024, so get comfortable and start adding to your watch list.
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon release date: September 10, 2023
Available on: AMC and AMC Plus
While Maggie and Negan are getting up to all sorts on the East Coast in The Walking Dead: Dead City, Norman Reedus’ Daryl Dixon is set to travel much further afield. In his spin-off series, the former lone wolf will travel to Paris, and encounter a whole bunch of the “smart” zombies that were introduced in the spin-off The Walking Dead: World Beyond and reappeared in The Walking Dead season 11.
“Daryl is a fish out of water to start with. If Daryl finds himself with new people, he’s a fish out of water. In France, in a country that’s going through the apocalypse, [it’s] an entirely different thing,” Gimple said of the upcoming series, which will likely premiere in late 2023.
Like The Walking Dead: Dead City, Daryl Dixon (the series) will run for six episodes and be overseen by ER’s David Zabel. Filming began in Paris in October 2022.
Sex Education season 4
Sex Education season 4 release date: September 21, 2023
Available on: Netflix
It’s nearly time to go back to school. Sex Education season 4, fittingly, has a fall release date for its return to Netflix, and it’s now confirmed to be the last outing for the show. While most of our old faves are returning for round four, the closure of Moordale Secondary at the end of season 3 and Maeve (Emma Mackey) jetting off to the US means things will look a bit different this time around.
Gen V
Gen V release date: September 29, 2023
Available on: Prime Video
If you can’t get enough of The Boys, then you’re in luck. A new spin-off is coming to Prime Video, described as “an irreverent, R-rated series that explores the lives of hormonal, competitive Supes as they put their physical, sexual, and moral boundaries to the test.” Set in a college for Supes, it sees youngsters tested in Hunger Games-style challenges.
Loki season 2
Loki season 2 release date: October 6, 2023
Available on: Disney Plus
Loki is Marvel’s first Disney Plus limited series to be granted a second season. The first season ended in chaos, as Sylvie’s slaying of He Who Remains has set off a multiverse war. Loki is left stranded in another dimension, where a statue of Kang the Conqueror is present. Though nothing has been confirmed, it’s likely that Loki season 2 will take place in a world where Kang has taken over as leader of the TVA and all other timelines.
Fargo season 5
Fargo season 5 release date: November 21, 2023
Available on: FX, Hulu
Set in the Midwest in 2019, the latest installment of crime drama Fargo sees Juno Temple play housewife Dot, whose mysterious past catches up with her and finds her on the run from the law. Hot on her heels is local sheriff Roy Tillman (Mad Men’s Jon Hamm) and his son Gator (Stranger Things’ Joe Keery). The new season’s cast also includes Jennifer Jason Leigh as Dot’s mother-in-law Lorraine, who’s always disapproved of her son’s wife – and who also happens to be the CEO of the largest Debt Collection Agency in the country.
Echo
Echo release date: November 29, 2023
Available on: Disney Plus
As revealed during Marvel’s SDCC showcase, Hawkeye spin-off Echo is dropping next summer. While story details are thin on the ground, we know it will revolve around Alaqua Cox’s Echo. Kingpin actor Vincent D’Onofrio and Daredevil’s Charlie Cox are reportedly set to return in Echo. All episodes will drop on Disney Plus this November.
Ironheart
Ironheart release date: TBC
Available on: Disney Plus
2023 is set to be dominated by Marvel’s television output on Disney Plus. Rounding out the year is Ironheart, featuring Dominique Thorne’s Riri Williams following in the footsteps of her idol, Tony Stark. The character first appeared in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
Star Wars: Skeleton Crew release date: TBC 2023
Available on: Disney Plus
Skeleton Crew, starring Jude Law, takes place in the same part of the Star Wars timeline as The Mandalorian, and Dave Filoni said at Star Wars Celebration that the shows will all intertwine in “weird ways.” Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts is also involved with the show, which is reportedly in pre-production.
True Detective: Night Country
True Detective: Night Country release date: TBC 2023
Available on: HBO and Max (US), Sky and NOW (UK)
The fourth season of True Detective follows Detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) who are tasked with solving the mystery of six men who, while operating the Tsalal Artice Research Station in Ennis, Alaska, simply vanish without a trace. Danvers and Navarro will be forced to confront their own darkness, and dig into the haunting truths that lie underneath the ice.
Bridgerton season 3
Bridgerton season 3 release date: TBC
Available on: Netflix
Bridgerton is based on Julia Quinn’s book series consisting of eight novels that follow each of the eight siblings as they find love. Season 1 and 2 have, appropriately, covered books one and two, which tell Daphne and Anthony’s stories. Though it seems likely Bridgerton’s third season will be based on the third book in the series, which focuses on Penelope and Colin, producer Shonda Rhimes says that they “may not be going in order” necessarily.
Daredevil: Born Again
Daredevil: Born Again release date: Spring 2024
Available on: Disney Plus
Charlie Cox’s Daredevil is getting another series, having returned in Spider-Man: No Way Home and going on to appear in She-Hulk and Echo, though this will be his first-ever starring role as part of the MCU. Plot details are scarce, though we do know that Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin returns and that the series will be 18 episodes long. Filming began in March 2023 and is expected to last eight months.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live release date: TBC 2024
Available on: AMC and AMC Plus
Andrew Lincoln is set to return to the franchise in Rick’s own spin-off series – and he won’t be alone. Danai Gurira will also return as Michonne, who left her loved ones behind in Alexandria to go search for Rick back in season 10, in the upcoming limited series.
The Walking Dead season 11 finale teased a little of what’s to come with Rick finding himself on a muddy shore, discarding his boots, journal, and the phone Michonne discovered in The Walking Dead’s 10th season. A helicopter later descends on Rick, asking him to surrender.
In a different place (and different time, too), Michonne is on the hunt for Rick on horseback. The pair, then, appear to be on a collision course ahead of their six-episode series, which is set to air sometime next year.
