If there’s a show you’ve been waiting years to return, chances are it’s coming back in 2025. From “Stranger Things” Season 5, which is expected to premiere later this year, to “Severance” Season 2, some of the biggest and buzziest shows on television are expected to make their returns in this new year.
Part of the reason for this big return has to do with the residual effects of the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Those historic Hollywood effects delayed production across the board. While broadcast series were largely able to air new episodes in 2024, prestige streaming and cable shows — which typically take a bit longer to produce on average — needed a bit more time to bounce back.
But bounce back they did. And it’s not just the “White Loti” and “Andors” of the world fans have to look forward to. Do you love procedural classics? New episodes of shows in the “NCIS” and the “Chicago” universes are on the horizon. Prefer laugh out loud comedies? Prepare for new episodes of “Abbott Elementary” and “Animal Control.” Reality? “Hell’s Kitchen” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” is coming back. What about bloody shows about cannibalism, cults and the ’90s? Specific, but yeah there is a new season of “Yellowjackets.”
No matter what you love, chances are 2025 has you covered. Consider this your full guide to the premiere dates 2025 television. New titles will be added to this list as they are announced.
