Some Science Fiction and Fantasy TV Coming This Year

2022 was a banner year for science fiction and fantasy TV shows. We had some big blockbuster series, (Rings of Power, House of Dragons, The Wheel of Time) that drew a lot of eyeballs even though they weren't that good. We also had some that maybe didn't get quite the audience but were brilliant (The Peripheral, The Sandman, The Exapnse). And there were a lot of other shows that were somewhere in the middle.

Based on this list of shows published by Gizmodo, it looks like 2023 will be another good year. Here are some of the shows that I'm interested in watching. (There are more but I can't subscribe to every service out there.)

• The Lazarus Project: The UK series about a secret time-travel project that springs into effect whenever an apocalypse is imminent makes its U.S. debut. (January 23, TNT)
• Mila in the Multiverse: This live-action Brazilian series follows a 16-year-old who travels through the multiverse trying to find her mother—while dodging a gang of universe-exterminating baddies. (February 15, Disney+)
• Carnival Row: Orlando Bloom (who plays an ex-detective) and Cara Delevingne (who plays a revolutionary fairy) return for the second and final season of this fantasy noir. (February 17, Amazon Prime Video)
• The Mandalorian: It doesn’t feel like that long since we’ve caught up with Din Djarin and Grogu, thanks to The Book of Boba Fett, but the space western actually hasn’t aired its own new episode since that bonkers season two finale in late 2020. (March 1, Disney+)
• Doctor Who: With its 60th anniversary in 2023, the classic yet constantly-reinventing-itself sci-fi series will roll out a trio of specials starring David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor before introducing Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth. (November 23, Disney+)
• Star Trek: Discovery: Never fear, 2023 will be yet another year stuffed with all things Trek. We already pointed out Picard in February; later in the year, Discovery’s fifth season will arrive. (Paramount+)

It's not mentioned in the article, but the show I am looking forward to the most is season 2 of Good Omens, which should air this summer.
