2024 felt like a rebuilding year for television, as contraction across Hollywood and delays from the historic Hollywood strikes wreaked havoc on programming schedules across the board. But we still got some standout series, including the return of “House of the Dragon,” Netflix’s surprise breakout “Baby Reindeer” and more.
But 2025 brings with it a more stable slate for all the biggest power players across streaming, broadcast and cable, one that aims to appeal to wider audiences and grapple with the new economic realities of the entertainment industry. TV lovers can expect big productions though, including long-anticipated returns for shows like Apple TV+’s “Severance,” HBO’s “The White Lotus” and Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and “Wednesday.”
