The first season of Severance wowed critics and audiences alike, scoring multiple awards and some mind-bending turns. It's been a long wait, but season 2 is coming, and likely prepared to amp things up. We'll know more about this mysterious company and what it's really doing with its mind-wiped workers who also have to balance the secrets of their dual lives. The addition of Gwendoline Christie in a mysterious role only makes it better so little wonder fans are excited to see this show back on the air.

Episode 6. Quintessa Swindell and Leo Woodall in "Prime Target," premiering January 22, 2025 on Apple TV+. /

Apple TV+ is well-versed in some action thriller shows, and Prime Target looks like a great one. Leo Woodall is a math genius who realizes a pattern in prime numbers can unlock a code that could control every computer on Earth. Naturally, this makes him the target of agencies who either want the code or silence anyone who can use it. Quintessa Swindell is an NSA agent assigned to watch over him only to aid him against a conspiracy. The supporting cast includes Rufus Sewell, Martha Plimpton and more for what should be a sharp new series.

Mythic Quest season 4

Release date: January 29

The fourth season of quirky comedy, Mythic Quest, is finally coming after several delays. It'll pick up with the entire Mythic Quest back working under one roof but facing the issues of the changing world of video games and their own wild egos and problems. The whole cast is back so while it's been a bit of a wait, it should be worth it for this terrific comedy.

Dope Thief is based on a novel with a new spin on a crime thriller. Bryan Tyree Hill and Wagner Moura are two Philadelphia friends who have what they think is a perfect scam: They pose as DEA agents to rob small-time dealers, figuring these guys will never report it. They think they've landed a big payday only to discover too late they've ripped off a major drug dealer who has no qualms killing real DEA agents, let alone imposters. Now, the pair has to try to survive the mob, the cops, and the real DEA coming after them. Ving Rhames and Kate Mulgrew co-star in what looks like a great new dark crime drama.

Seth Rogen stars, writes, directs and executive produces this new dramedy focused on Hollywood life. He plays a Hollywood veteran who finally achieves his dream of becoming the head of his favorite film studio. It's not long before the dream turns into a nightmare as he realizes he has to control the rampaging egos of actors, directors, agents and more, how much debt the studio is in and the big movie that could either make or break it. There's an amazing cast of Catherine O'Hara, Kathryn Hahn, Bryan Cranston, and more, which makes this a great Hollywood satire. We can't wait to see The Studio!

Side Quest

Any fan of Mythic Quest will love to check this expansion pack of characters out too.

Meanwhile, Bradley turned her brother in to the FBI for his part in the 2021 Capitol riots. Season 4 will once more look at past events, this time from 2022-23, with Jeremy Irons playing Alex's father. That's a great casting choice that will make this the best year yet for the hit show.

Oscar winner Jessica Chastain headlines this new limited series thriller, The Savant. It's based on a true story with Chastain as an online activist who infiltrates hate groups to gather information and take them down. That puts a strain on her marriage to Nnamdi Asomugha. Chastain is always captivating in any performance and her star power alone makes this worth waiting for. 

Murderbot

Release date: TBD

This dark sci-fi series stars Alexander Skarsgård and is based on a popular novel. A security android hides how it's self-intelligent as it keeps an eye on the various humans, including some of its "clients." So it's basically a take on the "hired killer who wants a quiet life," only the main character is a robot. That unusual setup should make Murder Bot a good addition to Apple TV+'s unique sci-fi library. 

Down Cemetery Road

Release date: TBD

When an explosion rocks a small English town, a bored housewife (Ruth Wilson) hires an investigator to find out more. That leads them into a deeper mystery that exposes the town's dark secrets.

Release date: TBD

Created by legendary crime writer Dennis Lehane Firebug is right up his alley. Jurnee Smollett's character is a detective hunting a serial arsonist in the Pacific Northwest. She turns to a veteran arson investigator (Taron Egerot) who's haunted by the loss of his own son in a fire. As the pair try to hunt the quarry down, she starts to worry that her partner may know more about these fires than he lets on. It looks like a fine mix of actors to make this another good show to wait for.
