Even though HBO’s “Game of Thrones” has come to an end, there are still plenty of exciting TV shows set to premiere in the coming months.
This year’s upfront presentations (the annual event where broadcast networks like ABC and NBC reveal their broadcast plans for the coming year) saw networks announce a range of new series – but streaming services like Hulu and Netflix, as well as cable channels like HBO, have also announced their plans for new shows in recent months.
Stars like Mindy Kaling and Nicole Kidman are behind some of the series we’re most excited about.
Here are the 14 new shows we can’t wait to binge.
"The Boys" (Amazon)
"The Boys" is Amazon's gritty take on a superhero show. In lieu of typical hero vs. villain narratives, "The Boys" instead explores what would happen if superheroes (and their powers) went unchecked.
If the massive amounts of coverage devoted to Marvel and DC superhero movies have you wondering what's so great about superpowers anyway, "The Boys" might just be the show for you. - Libby Torres
It premieres July 26, and you can watch the NSFW trailer here.
"Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance" (Netflix)
Netflix partnered with the Jim Henson company to create a new prequel series to the classic 1982 "Dark Crystal" movie. The show is a 10-episode series coming to Netflix on August 30. By using real puppetry and practical effects combined with animation, the show will have that same unique visual language created by Jim Henson decades ago. - Kim Renfro
"The Dropout" (Hulu)
The downfall of Elizabeth Holmes' fraudulent blood-testing company Theranos garnered a lot of attention earlier this year - and now Hulu is the latest platform to get in on the action. The upcoming show "The Dropout," starring Kate McKinnon as Holmes, is based on a podcast that examined the events leading up to the dissolution of Theranos.
While the show doesn't have a premiere date yet, fans of the Theranos saga - or scams in general - should take note. - Libby Torres
"Euphoria" (HBO)
"Euphoria" (based on an Israeli show with a similar premise) follows a group of high school students as they navigate the adult world of sex, drugs, trauma, and social media. Singer Zendaya and Maude Apatow, daughter of Judd Apatow and Lesley Mann, are part of the ensemble cast of the show, which premieres on June 16.
We're excited for this show due to the ensemble cast featuring plenty of up-and-coming stars. The fact that it seems to take a pretty realistic look at the high school experience doesn't hurt either. - Libby Torres
You can watch the trailer here.
"Four Weddings and a Funeral" (Hulu)
Much like the 1994 movie it's based on, Hulu's update of "Four Weddings and a Funeral" will follow four friends through the titular celebrations and periods of mourning, all while exploring life and love in London.
It's about time someone gave the classic-yet-dated film an update, and we can't wait to see what Mindy Kaling's 2019 refresh entails. - Libby Torres
Hulu's "Four Wedding and a Funeral" premieres July 31.
"Grand Hotel" (ABC)
ABC's "Grand Hotel" is a remake of a Spanish-language TV show, and is set at the last family-owned hotel in Miami Beach. Expect plenty of drama from this updated, Latinx-focused take on the "Upstairs, Downstairs"-type narrative. It premieres June 17.
"Grand Hotel," executive produced by Eva Longoria, promises to deliver tons of drama and intrigue - as well as a nuanced look into the Latinx experience. - Libby Torres
You can watch the trailer here.
"The Hills: New Beginnings" (MTV)
This reboot of hit 2000s show 'The Hills" follows most of the original cast members (minus Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari, sadly) as they navigate their personal and professional lives in Los Angeles.
Whether you're a diehard fan of the original show, or just need to fill the "Vanderpump Rules"-sized hole in your heart, this reboot of "The Hills" is sure to satisfy. - Libby Torres
It premieres June 24, and you can watch the trailer here.
"His Dark Materials" (BBC and HBO)
"His Dark Materials," an adaptation of Philip Pullman's beloved trilogy, may help fill the fantasy gap left by "Game of Thrones."
Back in 2007, the first book was adapted into the underwhelming film "The Golden Compass" - but fans expect the TV series to delve much more deeply into the story's complex series of parallel universes. It's already been given a two-season order from the BBC and will be available to stream worldwide on HBO. - Callie Ahlgrim

"Katy Keene" (The CW)
Lucy Hale, known for her role as Aria Montgomery on Freeform's hit show "Pretty Little Liars," stars on an upcoming "Riverdale" spin-off called "Katy Keene." Set in New York City, Hale plays the titular character alongside brand new faces. Ashleigh Murray's Josie McCoy, who left Riverdale behind to pursue her dreams of becoming a musician, also stars on the show.
The teaser trailer offers a glimpse of the series, which will likely draw in devoted "Riverdale" fans, especially those looking for a show that isn't focused on cults or murder mysteries. Plenty of popular TV shows, like "Sex and the City," "Gossip Girl," and "Friends," are also known for taking place in the iconic city that never sleeps. - Olivia Singh
The show is expected to premiere in 2020 and you can watch the teaser trailer here.
"Los Espookys" (HBO)
HBO's new show "Los Espookys" focuses on a group of friends in a dreamy Latin American country, who turn their obsession with the supernatural into a thriving business - with plenty of hilarious speed bumps along the way.
Co-created by Fred Armisen and "SNL" writer and comedian Julio Torres, "Los Espookys" looks to be a lighthearted, offbeat comedy with plenty of surreal moments. We're excited to see Armisen and Torres flex their comedic chops while also paying tribute to their Latinx heritage. - Libby Torres
It premieres on June 16, and you can watch the trailer here.
"Nine Perfect Strangers" (Hulu)
Hulu's upcoming "Nine Perfect Strangers" will take place at a health and wellness resort for urban elites. Nicole Kidman will play the resort's enigmatic director, who quickly shows guests that there's more to the facility than meets the eye.
Anyone who's seen "Big Little Lies" knows Kidman can deliver spectacular performances, and "Nine Perfect Strangers" seems like the perfect place for her to continue doing just that. - Libby Torres
"Prodigal Son" (Fox)
The trailer for the Fox show, featuring Michael Sheen as a serial killer and Tom Payne ("The Walking Dead") as his son, looks creepy and gives us vibes of NBC's canceled show "Hannibal."
We're really excited to see Payne in a lead role. The actor told INSIDER in November he wanted off of the zombie show because he didn't feel like they were utilizing him and his character, Jesus, to the best of his abilities. The actor cut the long hair he grew for "The Walking Dead" in order to play the show's lead. Hopefully, we'll get to see Payne show off more of his talent here. - Kirsten Acuna

"Star Trek: Picard" (CBS All Access)
Buoyed by CBS All Access' "Star Trek: Discovery" and the availability of all the "Star Trek" TV shows on Netflix, the space franchise is enjoying a whole new popularity. Personally, I'm almost to the end of my multiple series rewatch, so I'm here for the upcoming new series starring Patrick Stewart as he reprises his role as Jean-Luc Picard, the best starship captain (and now admiral) of the franchise. Sorry, Kirk. - Jethro Nededog

"Watchmen" (HBO)
Damon Lindelof ("The Leftovers," "Lost") is tackling a new superhero-ish genre for HBO. Based on a graphic novel by the same name, "Watchmen" isn't a sequel, nor is it a direct adaptation. Instead, writer and showrunner Lindelof is calling the new series a "remix" of the original story. Regardless of the terminology, we're excited to see this new genre on HBO sometime this fall. - Kim Renfro
