Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story

Bridgerton fans: it's good news, as the franchise is getting its very own prequel series. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story has already been teased by Netflix, focusing on Queen Charlotte's younger years and her relationship with King George. There's no confirmed release date for this one just yet but Netflix *has* already dropped a first-look teaser, so we're hoping to see the series land on screens in 2023.

Release date: TBC on Netflix.

Succession season 4

There are *so* many good follow-up seasons coming this year, including a fourth series of Succession. HBO Max has already teased our return to the drama of the Roy family, with the show confirmed for a Spring 2023 release date. We can't wait.

Release date: Spring 2023 on Sky and Now.

5

A Town Called Malice

Sky's new drama A Town Called Malice tells the story of a family of former South London gangsters who flee to Spain's Costa del Sol in an attempt to re-invent themselves. This one's been confirmed for 2023 (yay!) and it's also pegged as a musical love letter to the '80s. We're excited for the tunes.

Release date: 2023 on Sky and Now.

6

Heartstopper season 2

Netflix has confirmed that Heartstopper is coming back for season two! And it's already in production (woohoo). Nick, Charlie, Elle, Tao, Darcy and Tara are returning for more romance and drama - plus some new faces. There's no official release date just yet, but we're hoping to see this one arrive in 2023. Fingers crossed.

Release date: TBC on Netflix.

7

Sex Education season 4

Sex Education is the next Netflix show we're excited to see returning. Season four has been announced by the streamer, and production officially started in August (with a bunch of new cast members including Schitt's Creek's Dan Levy as teacher Mr Molloy). A release date hasn't been confirmed, but with production well underway we're crossing our fingers for a 2023 release date.

Release date: TBC on Netflix.

Top Boy season 3

If, like us, you were gripped by Top Boy seasons one and two then we've got good news: season three is on the way! Netflix announced the third and final season back in March 2022, with filming beginning in summer. So, we're holding out for a 2023 release for this one too.

Release date: TBC on Netflix.

9

Ginny & Georgia season 2

Tracking the complicated relationship between the titular mother and daughter, Ginny & Georgia season two arrives at the start of January - the perfect way to begin the new year. The S1 finale saw Ginny running away from home with little brother Austin, leaving plenty of open doors for the season two plot. We're invested.

Release date: 5 January on Netflix.

10

Lockwood & Co

If you like a touch of the supernatural, you'll want to add this one into your calendar. Lockwood & Co comes to Netflix in January, following a group of teenage ghost hunters in London. It's based on the book series by author Jonathan Stroud and also stars Bridgerton's Ruby Stokes (Francesca Bridgerton). A winning combo, if you ask us.

Release date: 27 January on Netflix.

11

Shadow and Bone season 2

We're returning to the Grishaverse as Netflix's Shadow and Bone season two drops in March. Expect more magic and fantasy. And if you really want to get invested , you can catch up on all the Shadow and Bone books to read ahead of S2 here.

Release date: 16 March on Netflix.

12

Firefly Lane season 2 part 2

Firefly Lane season two part one *just* dropped as of December 2022, and we've got a whole six months to wait before feasting our eyes on part two. Kate and Tully's tumultuous friendship ended in tears and tragedy at the end of part one, with a huge cliffhanger to boot. Catch up on the part one ending here, and get yourself prepped for the second batch.

Release date: 8 June on Netflix.

13

Doctor Who

The BBC has confirmed that Doctor Who is returning in November 2023, with Sex Education's Ncuti Gatwa on board as the brand new Doctor. SO exciting!

Three special episodes are launching in November with David Tennant back in the iconic role, before Ncuti takes over as the Fifteenth Doctor during the festive season. This one can't come soon enough.

Release date: November 2023 on the BBC and Disney+.

14

The Mandalorian season 3

Star Wars fans, get ready as The Mandalorian is coming to Disney+ for a third season. Set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order, the series focuses on a lone bounty hunter travelling across the far reaches of the galaxy, with S3 set to be another high-budget treat.

Release date: 1 March on Disney+.

15

Squid Game: The Challenge

YOUNGKYU PARKNetflix

The Squid Game hype is far from over, as the show is coming to life via an actual reality series titled Squid Game: The Challenge. Netflix has promised that the gameshow will be the "biggest reality competition series ever" - with the largest cast and lump sum cash prize in history. So, yep, huge.

Inspired by the fictional series, the show will see 456 real players competing in a series of games in a bid to win $4.56 million. Casting began in June 2022, so we're hoping to see this one launch sometime in 2023.

Release date: TBC on Netflix.

16

That '90s Show

That '70s Show is still a certified cult classic, and it's getting a revival in the form of That '90s Show, coming to Netflix in Jan. The rebooted show picks back up with Red and Kitty Forman who now have an empty nest - until their granddaughter returns to take over their basement (in a sweet mirroring of the original series).

Release date: 19 January on Netflix.

17

Bridgerton season 3

There's sadly no official release date confirmation on this one, but we're hoping to see Bridgerton season three on screens this year! Netflix confirmed that the series was in production back in July 2022, so fingers crossed we don't have too long to wait. This season, we're diving right into the relationship between Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton (#Polin), and we couldn't be more excited.

Release date: TBC on Netflix.

18

Emily in Paris season 4

Emily in Paris season four is another show we're eagerly anticipating. There's no official release date just yet, but Netflix *has* confirmed that S4 is happening. And if the season three ending is anything to go by, we reckon we're in for a goodie. Here's hoping this one lands in 2023!

Release date: TBC on Netflix.
