00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most exciting TV shows
00:10set to arrive in 2025, from brand new series to returning favorites that everyone can't
00:16stop talking about.
00:25Stranger Things Season 5
00:33Ever since it premiered in 2016, this Netflix sci-fi horror show has become an inescapable
00:38pop culture juggernaut.
00:40Nearly a decade later, Stranger Things is set to bow out with its fifth and final season
00:44in 2025.
00:46To say that fan anticipation is high would be an understatement.
00:50With Season 4 airing way back in 2022, viewers are itching to see how the Hawkins crew bounces
00:56back from their epic clash with Vecna, and also how the show ties up its expansive narrative.
01:09Most of the main cast will return, joined by none other than 80s icon Linda Hamilton.
01:15While this marks the end of the main series, it's safe to say the Stranger Things universe
01:19isn't done haunting us just yet.
01:32Number 9 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1
01:42Although Game of Thrones fumbled its finale, the franchise redeemed itself with the acclaimed
01:46prequel series House of the Dragon, which premiered in 2022.
01:51Now three years later, George R.R. Martin is ready to dive deeper into Westeros with
01:55another HBO prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
02:04Based on The Hedge Knight, the first installment in Martin's Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas,
02:09this show shifts from sprawling ensemble drama to an engaging buddy adventure.
02:13It'll follow Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg, a young Aegon Targaryen on their journeys
02:18set 90 years before Game of Thrones.
02:21There still isn't a specific release date, but if House of the Dragon is any indication,
02:27fans are in for a treat.
02:37Number 8 It Welcome to Derry Season 1
02:51Stephen King's fictional town of Derry, Maine becomes the setting for yet another exploration
02:56of the twisted antics of Pennywise.
02:58Following the success of Andy Muschietti's two-part adaptation, audiences will return
03:02to Derry in 2025 for a prequel series tracing the origins of Pennywise, starting in the
03:081960s.
03:14Of course, this means that the star-studded cast of the 2019 installment will not return,
03:19with the exception of Bill Skarsgård, who will once again don the makeup of the sinister
03:24clown.
03:25Since It Chapter 2 exhausted King's 1986 novel, Welcome to Derry will venture into
03:30new territory, allowing the creators more freedom to craft fresh characters and storylines.
03:36Here's hoping this new chapter leaves us with a smile on our faces.
04:02Number 7 Wednesday Season 2
04:20In 2022, Netflix finally gave the delightfully morbid Wednesday Addams her own series, helmed
04:26by none other than Tim Burton.
04:28Once the first season became a global sensation, fans have been eagerly counting down to its
04:32follow-up.
04:33Well, the wait is almost over, as Wednesday returns in 2025, with Jenna Ortega reprising
04:40her role as the deadpan sadistic lead.
04:42But that's not all.
04:44For this season, the cast gets a star-powered upgrade.
04:47In a full-circle moment, the show will welcome the presence of Lady Gaga, whose song Bloody
04:52Mary went viral after fans paired it with clips from the first season.
05:06And she's not the only big name.
05:08Steve Buscemi, Teddy Wayne Newton, Hailey Joel Osment, and Joanna Lumley will also be
05:12making appearances.
05:19Number 6 Invincible Season 3
05:32Despite a mid-season break that slowed the momentum of its second installment, Invincible
05:36remains one of the most captivating animated shows out there.
05:40The Amazon Prime series is centered around Mark Grayson, who inherits the superpowers
05:45of his father, the planet's most formidable hero, but still has to juggle life as a teenager.
05:51After a two-year wait between seasons one and two, the show's creators are eager to
05:55please fans faster this time.
05:57The third installment will return less than a year after the conclusion of season two,
06:01and thankfully with no mid-season breaks.
06:09In the upcoming chapter, Mark's role as Earth Defender is greatly expanded.
06:14But can he rise to the challenge?
06:16Guess we'll find out on February 6th.
06:23Number 5 Andor Season 2
06:34For many, the Star Wars prequel series Andor felt like a breath of fresh air.
06:38Its mature storytelling set it apart from other shows in the same universe, earning
06:42widespread acclaim from critics.
06:45Andor ditched the unnecessary fan service and instead delivered a gripping espionage
06:49tale that even casual Star Wars viewers could enjoy.
06:52If the creators can keep up the momentum, then we have nothing to worry about when the
06:56second and final season arrives in April 2025.
07:07Of course, Diego Luna returns as the titular character, with Ben Mendelsohn and Alan Tudyk
07:12reprising their roles from Rogue One.
07:14We may already know how it ends, but the journey to get there promises to be just as thrilling.
07:38Number 4 The White Lotus Season 3
07:49Everyone's favorite show featuring rich people behaving badly is back, and creator Mike White
07:53promises it'll be quote, longer, bigger, and crazier.
07:58The White Lotus first landed in 2021 as a limited series, but after sky-high ratings
08:03and glowing reviews, HBO quickly revamped it into an anthology.
08:09Another stellar season followed, but that was way back in 2022, and we've been craving
08:13more vapid opulence and murderous elites ever since.
08:22While Season 1 and 2 whisked us to Maui and Sicily respectively, the chaos is now heading
08:27to Thailand.
08:29This time, the cast boasts names like Walton Goggins, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, Black
08:34Pink's Lisa, and Natasha Rothwell returning from Season 1.
08:37We can't wait to see what first-class disasters lay in store for them.
08:58Number 3 Daredevil Born Again Season 1
09:10Fans of Marvel's Daredevil were crushed when Netflix abruptly axed the show after just
09:14three seasons.
09:15But it's time to dry those eyes, because the devil of Hell's Kitchen will be suiting
09:19up once more.
09:20Daredevil Born Again premieres on Disney Plus in March 2025, bringing a fresh start with
09:26familiar faces.
09:27Though it's on a different streaming platform with a slate of new writers, the core remains
09:32intact.
09:38Charlie Cox returns as Daredevil, and Vincent D'Onofrio is back as the menacing Kingpin.
09:43Also joining them from the Netflix series are Jon Bernthal, Deborah Ann Woll, and Eldon
09:48Henson.
09:49Serving as both a continuation and a reinvention, Daredevil Born Again aims to honor the Netflix
09:54version while charting a new way forward.
10:00Number 2 The Last of Us Season 2
10:13For years, Hollywood struggled with video game adaptations.
10:17But The Last of Us completely shattered expectations with its phenomenal first season.
10:22Perhaps that's because Neil Druckmann, the co-creator of the game, also developed the
10:26HBO series.
10:28Whatever the reason, thankfully, the magic formula seems intact as the show gears up
10:32for its highly anticipated comeback two years after the first season.
10:44Slated for release in early 2025, this new installment will pick up on the post-apocalyptic
10:49adventures of Joel and Ellie five years after we last saw them.
10:53With Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey returning in the aforementioned roles, the season will
10:57also feature the addition of actors like Caitlin Dever, Isabella Merced, Catherine O'Hara,
11:03and Jeffrey Wright.
11:14Before we unveil our top pick, here are some honorable mentions.
11:19Pixar's first long-form series will give each episode its own unique style.
11:38The Chair Company Season 1
11:40Tim Robinson's signature absurdity in a half-hour comedy?
11:43Sign us up!
12:03The Rehearsal Season 2
12:05Finally, more twisted experiments from Nathan Fielder's wild mind.
12:26The Righteous Gemstones Season 4
12:28The forthcoming of this religious satire promises some holy hilarity.

13:14Severance Season 2
13:30Every now and then, a truly inventive show comes along and completely rewires our brains.
13:36In 2022, that show was Severance.
13:39The Apple TV workplace thriller about employees who split their consciousness between work
13:43and personal life debuted to near-universal acclaim, and quickly amassed a dedicated fanbase
13:49through word of mouth.
13:51After a long sabbatical, the worker drones at Lumen Industries are finally clocking back
13:55in.
14:10The second season of Severance is set to ramp things up several notches, especially after
14:14the jaw-dropping twists of last season's finale.
14:17With so many burning questions still at the back of our minds, this next chapter has two
14:22jobs to fulfill, blow our minds once again, and hopefully connect a few dots along the
14:27way.
