We're very much looking ahead to the new year, and even though we're still enjoying 2021 and some of the very fine TV shows the year has brought us, we've also started anticipating what 2022 may mean in terms of exciting new series and beloved returning ones.
Here's a selection of some of 2022's most anticipated TV shows. Keep in mind the calendar is very much in flux and we only know the exact release dates for a handful of titles. But 2022 is shaping up to be a year with a lot of binging potential — both in terms of new series and returning properties.

Inventing Anna (February 2022), Netflix: This nine-episode limited series is created by Shonda Rhimes — the uber-producer also executive produces the successful Bridgerton for the streamer. The show is inspired by a New York Magazine article by Jessica Pressler about how the German heiress Anna Delvey found a place in New York's social scene and ended up being a master in the art of scamming. Anna Chlumsky plays a reporter loosely based on Pressler. Julia Garner ( Ozark) is the deceitful Anna.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom's director J.A. Bayona helms the first two episodes of the eight-episode first season.

Martin's novels and tells the story of House Targaryen and its platinum blonde members.

In the comedy She-Hulk , Tatiana Maslany ( Orphan Black ) plays a lawyer who specializes in representing superheroes. Expect a visit from the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) in the show.

The first of them is the prequel series Andor in which Mexican actor Diego Luna returns to his defining role from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story , playing the rebel spy Kassian Andor.

He's been on the run for decades but the arrival of an assassin (Gbenga Akinnagbe) upends his peaceful routine. The Old Man is taking a little bit to get to the small screen because the shooting of this show has been postponed on two occasions — first due to the COVID-19 pandemic and then after Bridges was diagnosed with lymphoma in October of last year.

The Last of Us , HBO: Based on the action-adventure Naughty Dog video game, this post-apocalyptic show stars Bella Ramsay ( Game of Thrones ) as the 14-year-old Ellie and Pedro Pascal ( The Mandalorian ) as Joel, the person hired to smuggle Ellie out of a quarantine zone. The survivalist tale is written and executive produced by Craig Mazin ( Chernobyl ) and Neil Druckmann, creative director and writer of the video games Uncharted and The Last of Us.
Interview With the Vampire , AMC: If you're an Anne Rice fan and weren't too pleased with the 1994 adaptation of Interview with the Vampire — or if you're young and never bothered to watch it — this AMC series boasts Rice as a non-writing executive producer, which might make for a better outcome. The eight-episode first season has cast Jacob Anderson ( Game of Thrones ) as Louis, played by Brad Pitt in the movie, and Sam Reid as Lestat, played by Tom Cruise in the movie.
The Dropout , Hulu: Amanda Seyfried plays Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes in this limited series from Liz Meriwether ( New Girl ). The Dropout follows the rise and fallout of Holmes and her blood-testing start-up and is based on the ABC News podcast of the same name. Alan Ruck ( Succession ), William H. Macy ( Shameless ) and Laurie Metcalf ( Lady Bird) round out the cast.
Bel-Air (Peacock): Inspired by the Morgan Cooper viral fan video that reimagined The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as a drama shot in 2019, this Peacock original is executive produced by Will Smith himself and has already been picked up for two seasons. Newcomer and West Philadelphia local Jabari Banks has been cast as Will in the show. Bel-Air has seen showrunners come and go a couple of times and it's still not clear when the show will start airing.
Daisy Jones and the Six, Prime Video: Based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's historical bestselling novel of the same name, this limited musical series stars Riley Keough (Zola) and Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire). The show is executive produced by Reese Witherspoon, who has a very solid track record in the production of adaptations of best-selling women-centric novels (Wild, Gone Girl, Big Little Lies, Little Fires Everywhere). Daisy Jones and the Six follows a rock band's ascension into success and their unavoidable fall during the 1970s.
Avatar: The Last Airbender , Netflix: Fans of the original animated series rejoiced when it was announced that actor Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) had joined the cast of the live-action version of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The show has also tapped actors Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley and Dallas Liu.
Pam & Tommy , Hulu: Lily James ( Cinderella ) is Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson and Sebastian Stan ( Falcon and the Winter Soldier ) is Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in this original limited series from Hulu. Pam & Tommy first made headlines when pictures of James and Stan's transformations into their characters hit the internet. The show is expected to focus on Anderson and Lee's relationship during the 1990s and how the sex tape from their honeymoon was stolen and leaked.
Returning TV Shows With a Confirmed Release Date

All Creatures Great and Small , Season 2 (January 9), PBS: It's no secret that season one of this PBS Masterpiece show contributed to the soothing of our souls in 2021. This is why we're looking forward to season two featuring an even more arresting landscape of Yorkshire Dales National Park, cows in need of compassionate veterinarians, and the very spoiled Pekingese dog Tricky Woo.
Ozark , Season 4 (January 21), Netflix: Jason Bateman, Laura Linney and Julia Garner return to the fourth and final season of this family saga that follows the Byrdes from the suburbs of Chicago to the Ozarks, in Missouri, as they try to keep ahead in a dangerous game with a Mexican drug cartel. Season four of Ozark will have two seven-episode parts. The first one will be released in January of next year.
Sanditon , Season 2 (March 20), PBS: This somewhat controversial adaptation of Jane Austen's last and unfinished novel left things very much on a cliffhanger when ITV, the channel that aired the show in the UK, canceled it after the first season. Fortunately, the fate of its heroine Charlotte (Rose Williams) was saved when PBS renewed the show for second and third seasons. Bear in mind though that Charlotte's romantic interest, Sidney Parker (Theo James), won't return to Sanditon. We're sure she'll be able to manage without him.
The Crown , Season 5 (November 2022), Netflix: The Emmy-winning show returns for a fifth season and, once again, changes the actors who play the main characters. Imelda Staunton takes over from Olivia Colman and portrays Queen Elizabeth II. Dominic West will be Prince Charles. Elizabeth Debicki will inhabit a very tall Princess Diana. And Lesley Manville takes over from the slightly underutilized Helena Bonham Carter to play Princess Margaret.
Bridgerton , Season 2 (2022), Netflix: Even if Regé-Jean Page won't make us swoon in this second season of the Regency-era London-set show, there's still a lot to look forward to in this new adaptation of Julia Quinn's series of novels. The older of the Bridgerton siblings, Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), is next in line to get himself a wife. Simon Ashley, who's had an especially stellar run in the third season of Sex Education as Olivia, plays Kate Sharma, Anthony's romantic interest and candidate for the family's newest Viscountess. The show has already been renewed for seasons three and four.
Stranger Things , Season 4 (Summer 2022), Netflix: The 1980s-set fantasy drama returns for a fourth season in which El (Millie Bobby Brown), Joyce (Winona Ryder), Jonathan (Charlie Heaton) and Will (Noah Schnapp) are now living in sunny California, far away from Hawkins, Indiana, and the town's troublingly easy access to the Upside Down. Chances are we'll all need a recap of what happened during Stranger Things ' season three finale, which first streamed in July of 2019, by the time season four debuts. Just a reminder that yes, Jim Hopper (David Harbour) is very much alive.
