Here are all the best new and upcoming TV shows to watch in 2022 on Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Paramount+, Disney+ and more.
The following is a non-exhaustive, but still fairly expansive, list of upcoming sci-fi, fantasy and comic book shows (and the occasional non-genre show that I’m interested in covering) headed to streaming services and traditional TV channels in 2022. I had originally planned a shorter list with more detailed descriptions of each show, but I ended up expanding this to include not just upcoming shows but shows that release throughout 2022 and perhaps won’t air until 2023. While many of these have release dates, a whole bunch are TBA as well. The shows in the following list range from adult animated titles like Vox Machina to more kid-friendly fare such as the bevy of Star Wars shows headed to Disney Plus. Speaking of Star Wars, The Book Of Boba Fett is kind of a letdown, but I’m still hopeful about The Mandalorian Season 3 and the various other live-action shows headed to Disney Plus set in a galaxy far, far away. Some titles I’m especially looking forward to include Willow on Disney Plus, Amazon’s twisted superhero show The Boys Season 3 and the Game of Thrones spinoff, House of the Dragon. I’m thrilled that we’re getting another season of the wonderfully hilarious, Alan Tudyk-led Resident Alien, and from what I’ve seen of Amazon’s Critical Role RPG-based Vox Machina so far, that’s going to be a real gem.
