Top 10 TV Series to Debut in 2022

Will Halo, which has already burned through two showrunners and is on its third platform or Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon come first? Inventing Anna — the buzzy first series Shonda Rhimes has written since Scandal — may top that list, which also includes Peacock’s dramatic Bel-Air and Apple’s sprawling Pachinko. Every network and streamer is launching new franchises, rebooting beloved movies and TV shows and casting A-list stars while chasing the hottest IP and book titles.

A League of Their Own (Amazon) Batter up! Gaslit (Starz) Some shows make this list because they’re based on big IP or hail from proven showrunners. Gaslit is one of two shows coming next year focusing on Watergate, joining HBO’s The White House Plumbers with Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux as the duo who planned the Watergate burglary that brought down Nixon.

Ultimately, ViacomCBS made the decision to move Halo to its streamer, Paramount+, as the platform — like Amazon and Peacock — looks for its big, broad breakout. Martin exec producing. Interview With the Vampire (AMC) The basic cable network is ready to sink its teeth into Anne Rice’s beloved vampire world, with Interview the first of what is already becoming a multiple-show franchise.

Name a more iconic duo. (As for FX’s highly anticipated takes on Alien and Shogun, both are expected in 2023.) James, for whom Pam & Tommy is expected to be a breakout role, leads a cast that also includes Rogen, Nick Offerman, Andrew Dice Clay and Taylor Schilling.

Gaiman’s American Gods imploded after three seasons, four showrunners and a checkmark next to every–single–category–of bad-level of drama. Can Sandman earn a breakout halo for Gaiman and justify the cost? Only now we may be more interested in the drama that led longtime friends and collaborators Will Ferrell and Winning Time exec producer Adam McKay (HBO’s Succession, Step Brothers) to take a serious time out.

What Was Short-Lived Due To The Covid-19 Pandemic?

With the COVID-19 pandemic production shutdown being short-lived and studios cutting a deal with IATSE, therefore avoiding a strike, the steady stream of television series just keeps coming. 2022 looks to be a banner year in TV, not only because of the continued expansion of Marvel Studios’ imprint on the medium with “Ms. Marvel” and “Moon Knight,” but also an expansion of the “Star Wars” universe with “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” Some series that were projected (or simply hoped) to launch in 2021 did not, in fact, squeeze in before the end of the calendar year, further stacking 2022.

As you can see from the selection of titles above (and certainly from the longer list below), genre series are more than having a moment in the new year. The explosion of this content also includes Paramount Plus’s long-gestating “Halo” adaptation, as well as Netflix’s episodic horror anthology “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities” and the latest DC Comics series on the CW, “Naomi.” If ripped-from-the-headlines is more your style, there are plenty of those to keep you entertained as well, including Hulu’s “Pam & Tommy” and “The Dropout.”

While this list only scratches the surface of the hundreds of shows to come, it is a good starting point. Grab your calendars and get ready to plan some weekend binges. Here, Variety previews the most anticipated new TV series to debut in 2022.
