Each winter gives way to spring, to hope eternal, to new movies and TV shows to watch while ignoring the fresh flowers and summer breezes and changing foliage of the unforgiving outdoors. And looking at the upcoming season’s release schedule, there\u2019s no reason to think that 2017 won\u2019t deliver wonders for our eyes and ears. From old favorites (HBO\u2019s \u201cGame of Thrones,\u201d Universal\u2019s \u201cThe Fate of the Furious\u201d) to shiny new confections (Jordan Peele\u2019s \u201cGet Out,\u201d the CW\u2019s \u201cRiverdale\u201d), the year to come does what all new years do: dangle promise before us, daring us to reach for it.
Here are the movies and television shows that the L. A. Times\u2019 Calendar staff are most excited to see in 2017. We don\u2019t know if any of them will be any good, but we can\u2019t wait to find out.
(Reminder: Release and premiere dates subject to change.)
Below are the films opening theatrically through April 21. Release dates and other details, as compiled by Kevin Crust, are subject to change.
