The first season of Amazon Prime’s The Boys was kind of a sleeper hit last year. You know what’s better than the complicated interpersonal dynamics of a marriage, stretched tightly across the scaffold of intense public scrutiny and shaped into an episodic TV narrative? That same thing … but in space! Hilary Swank and Josh Charles star in this Netflix drama about a mission to Mars, executive produced by Jason Katims. Here’s what we’re looking forward to (or at the very least curious about). There are even - gasp - some major awards shows! In short, we are still far from a full-on televisual drought, and there’s still plenty to anticipate in the months to come. All but a handful of network TV shows won’t be making their usual post-summer returns until much later in the year, if at all, leaving streaming services and premium networks to swoop in with slates full of programming filmed pre-pandemic - and in a few unusual cases, mid-pandemic.Īnd yet there’s a thread of comforting familiarity winding through the season’s offerings, which together comprise the usual blend of glossy prestige series, both limited and ongoing continuations and spinoffs of established properties and a host of animated and documentary series, two forms that were better-positioned than most to weather the pandemic storm. We’re staring down a fall TV season unlike any other in recent memory, one turned upside down by the coronavirus pandemic’s effects on television production.
