Imagine The Big Bang Theory as a show without a laugh track and presented in the style of its spin-off, Young Sheldon, cause that’s the concept Johnny Galecki dreamt about for a spin-off. The Emmy-winning sitcom has paved the way for shows like Young Sheldon and the upcoming Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, solidifying its legacy.

However, Galecki, who portrayed the role of Leonard Hofstadter in the sitcom, subconsciously took things in an unexpected direction, envisioning a version of the show that felt radically different from the multi-camera comedy fans know and love.

Johnny Galecki had weird dreams about The Big Bang Theory spin-off

After the success of The Big Bang Theory and its spin-off Young Sheldon, there have been numerous discussions about potential spin-offs focusing on different characters from the show.

It's not only a new month, but a new year as well! And that means we have premieres and releases on streaming to look forward to. There's actually quite a bit that's coming to streaming with big releases like Squid Game season 3, Stranger Things season 5, Gen V season 2, and many more. There's also lots of shows that are highly anticipated, but coming to an end in 2025.

I'll be honest, Hulu is getting off to a slow start with what the platform is offering in January 2025 and to kick off the year. And we're still waiting for an official The Handmaid's Tale season 6 release date. But, that doesn't mean there isn't anything good to watch.

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.” Established IP will also get its fair share of spinoffs, including the “Game of Thrones” side quest “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” NBC’s “Suits LA” and Marvel’s anticipated “Daredevil: Born Again” quasi-revival on Disney+.

The start of a new year is a big opportunity to start with fresh resolutions and a clean slate. A time of exciting possibilities, your new year can become even more exciting with a slate of must-watch content. Hulu, the popular streaming platform, is kicking off the New Year 2025 in style, by rolling out a diverse lineup of TV shows that promise to have something for everyone.

Our picks are limited to English-language series, mostly scripted with the occasional dash of documentary and reality.

Kick off the new year with a binge of Netflix’s new Harlan Coben show “Missing You,” which premieres in full on January 1. The streamer will also drop the gritty Wild West limited series “American Primeval” in the first half of the month, reuniting the team behind “Painkiller.” Fox will debut a military misfit comedy with “Going Dutch,” while Max is entering the medical drama game to the tune of “The Pitt,...

Going Dutch...

There was lots of great TV in 2024 even though it was kind of a weird year due to the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes. The long-gestating Shōgun delivered and won a record 18 Emmys to boot. Hacks produced its best season yet and an Emmy shocker. X-Men ’97 was nostalgia done right. True Detective returned to form (and angered deposed creator Nic Pizzolatto) with its Night Country installment. And Baby Reindeer – which was on virtually no one’s radar at this point last year – became a surprise global smash. Those are just a few of this year’s highlights. But 2025 could be even better and bigger with new seasons of shows delayed by the strikes and some old favorites taking their final bows on the docket alongside plenty of intriguing new titles.

Here are our 25 most anticipated shows of ’25 in chronological order of release.

1. The Pitt (Max)

Premieres: Thursday, Jan. 9

Stop us...

2024 was maybe the best year ever for Blu-rays and 4K Uhd discs.

Thanks to boutique labels like Shout! Studios, Criterion, Arrow and Vinegar Syndrome, along with big studios like Universal and Disney, the catalog titles and new releases being introduced into the marketplace is genuine exciting. After years of bemoaning the death of physical media, its transformation from an everyday item to the kind of collector’s market that led to the resurgence of vinyl records, is nearly complete. Lionsgate recently started a boutique sublabel called Lionsgate Limited; A24 is now starting to sell titles that would have been exclusive to its online store on Amazon. Everything is a-okay.

And it’s with this newfound sense of optimism – about the market, about the titles that are being released and the committed teams bringing those titles to life – that we try and encapsulate this very special year. All of the releases...

Emmy-winning actor Sterling K. Brown is reuniting with This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman for a new Hulu series, Paradise. While details about the show are few and far between, it is set to be quite different from the tear-jerking family drama they previously worked on for six seasons, reports Entertainment Weekly.

Brown, who won an Emmy Award in 2017, for his performance as Randall Pearson on This Is Us, stars in Paradise as Secret Service agent Xavier Collins. In the series, he is tasked with guarding the former President of the United States, Cal Bradford, played by James Marsden (Sonic the Hedgehog 3). Bradford is caught up in a web of confusion after he’s accused of killing his charge.

We don’t know what’s grabbed Sterling K. Brown’s attention in this exclusive new photo from Hulu’s Paradise, but we know that we sure wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that steely gaze.

The Emmy-winning This Is Us alum stars in the hourlong drama, playing the head of security for a former president; the commander-in-chief in question is played by James Marsden (Westworld, Jury Duty). The action takes place in what the series’ official logline describes as “a serene community inhabited by some of the world’s most prominent individuals. But this tranquility...

If Tom Selleck is returning to Jesse Stone now that Blue Bloods has officially wrapped, there is a perfect role for co-star Donnie Wahlberg to take on. Before Blue Bloods arrived, Selleck was busy co-writing and starring in the Jesse Stone movies, a series of noirish mysteries. Selleck's busy schedule with CBS' long-running police drama prevented him from returning to Stone in recent years, but now Blue Bloods has ended there's talk of Jesse Stone 10 coming together.

Selleck has stated his interest more than once - though he told TV Insider that he doesn't know what his next gig will be. It's been close to a decade since he last played Jesse, so much will have changed in the Paradise police chief's life in the intervening years. The next Jesse Stone would be smart to add some Blue Bloods cast members to the ensemble to draw more eyeballs to the TV movie saga,...

"Paradise" is a new live-action drama series, produced by Dan Fogelman, starring Sterling K. Brown, James Marsden, Julianne Nicholson, Sarah Shahi, Nicole Brydon Bloom, Aliyah Mastin and Percy Daggs, streaming January 28, 2025 on Hulu and Disney+:

Lance Bass is looking back at how his coming out affected his professional career at the time.

While joining the Politickin podcast, the former Nsync member, who publicly came out as gay in 2006, said that, at that time, he was about to film a pilot for the CW. However, things took a turn when he came out.

“I had a sitcom with The CW at the time, and we were about to shoot the pilot and this came out and they were like, ‘We can’t do the show anymore. Like, they have to believe that you’re straight to play a straight character,'” Bass said.

He added, “Every casting director I knew, they’re like, ‘Lance, we can’t cast you because they can’t look past … You’re too famous for being gay now that they can’t look at you as anything other than that.’ So,...

I have some mixed feelings about the second episode of Tomorrow and I. The thing is, the makers may have the right intention, but the execution is horrendous. Even after finishing the episode, I still was not able to grasp the exact motive of its protagonist, Jessica Harthihill, who kept telling us throughout the episode that she wanted to witness a change in the world. Though in the end, it seemed like all Jessica cared about was money, like our typical Silicon Valley startup bros. So, allow me to make it simpler through this detailed recap and explanation of Tomorrow and I episode 2.

Spoiler Alert

Jessica Faces Difficulty In Her Startup

Set in 2045, the second episode began with the introduction of Gamalore City, a Miami-themed fictional city somewhere in Thailand where we come across a young entrepreneur named Jessica, seeking funding for her new venture, Paradise X. It was a...

Never short on hilarious moments, Friends is iconic for many reasons and one of those is its innumerable cameos. Throughout its run, the sitcom featured several cameos that fans least expected.

Shea & Taylor broke up post-show due to differing views on the game strategy. Taylor became an influencer and model with no current relationship status on social media. Unclear if Shea and Taylor are still together, but both are thriving in their careers post-show.

Taylor Olympios and Shea Foster appeared on Netflix's new series Surviving Paradise as a couple, but did they make it in the real world? The reality TV series featured 12 cast members competing for $200,000 in a luxurious villa. However, there was a catch: the Surviving Paradise cast could vote each other in and out of the villa, and contestants had to be in the villa to win. After participating in a survival drop together, Shea and Taylor formed a bond and later a relationship, but was ten days in the wilderness enough foundation for these reality TV stars?

Monsters University highlighted the idea that dreams don't always come true with its protagonist, Mike Wazowski. Pixar's Soul included a similar message to Monsters University's, but the latter made a bolder choice with how it handled the shift from one dream to the next. Mike Wazowski embraced change, which helped him adapt to the unexpected shift in the monster world altogether.

Disney movies and, by extension, Pixar movies often have a similar message. These movies usually include protagonists who dream of something seemingly unreachable and end with the protagonist getting what they wanted due to how much they wanted that. Remy became a professional chef despite him being a rat in Ratatouille, Carl Fredricksen took his home to Paradise falls in Up, and Bob Parr got to be a hero again in The Incredibles.

Most of the time, Pixar protagonists get what they want and what they need. But...

International sales agent Incredible Film has secured global distribution rights to “Amsterdamned II,” the sequel to Dick Maas’ 1988 cult classic, “Amsterdamned.” Veteran Dutch actor Huub Stapel reprises his role as detective Eric Visser, who once pursued a serial killer through the Dutch canals three decades ago, as he is brought back from retirement by a revelation that shakes him to his core. In the sequel, also directed by Maas, Visser and fellow detective Tara Lee fight against an evil that threatens them and the city of Amsterdam.

The film is a coproduction from the Netherlands’ 2CFilm and Parachute Pictures and Belgium’s Potemkino. Production is set to begin later this year, with release scheduled for 2025, in time for the city of Amsterdam’s 750th anniversary.

Daniëlle Raaphorst, CEO of Incredible Film, said: “Three decades ago, the chilling horror ‘Amsterdamned’ gripped audiences around the world. Now, we are delighted to be representing the sequel.

As a preview for Triple Seven, the band has shared “Love on the Outside,” an anthemic power pop track with Krauter taking the lead. Sounding like a forgotten late ’90s alternative radio hit, “Love on the Outside” features a seismic chorus and a blistering bridge that turns into a feedback-ridden outro; Krauter narrates the beginning modes of a relationship, and all the while, the band toggles...
