September sees the start of two our most anticipated upcoming TV shows with The Penguin and Agatha All Along heading to our screens. But what about what's coming beyond those two shows? Well, there's still a lot left to come in 2024 in terms of small-screen offerings, including the return of Netflix's most popular series of all time with Squid Game season 2 arriving in December.
We've also got new expansions of franchises with the Bene Gesserit-centered prequel Dune: Prophecy and Jude Law's introduction to the Star Wars universe in Skeleton Crew on the way.
Add in some more dramas, comedies, and fantasy shows, the end of this year on screen is shaping up to be pretty epic. If that wasn't enough either, we've also got a look beyond this year into 2025 as well, with all the fun that's set to bring. So, for all that and more, scroll on through our guide to all the best new TV shows coming your way on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, and more.
The Penguin
The Penguin release date: September 19, 2024 (US), September 20 (UK)
Available on: Max in the US, NOW in the UK
The Batman spin-off series The Penguin will air later this year, and will focus on Colin Farrell's brutal antagonist. Set in Gotham's underbelly, the show will track Penguin's plan to take over in the mob power vacuum after the death of Carmine Falcone. This one arrives ahead of The Batman 2 in 2025 so should be enough to tide us over until Robert Pattinson's caped crusader returns.

Apple's hit sci-fi show Silo is due to return with its second season in November. Based on Hugh Howey’s bestselling trilogy, the series follows the last ten thousand people on earth who live in a mile-deep home protecting them from the toxic world outside. However, there's a lot of mysteries about how and why the silo was built, and it seems the closer they get to the truth, the more danger lurks. We don't have a full-length trailer or an official synopsis yet, but we do know that season 2 will begin with a rebellion gone wrong. There are some new arrivals too, including The White Lotus star Steve Zahn who is joining Rebecca Ferguson and Common.

Dune director Denis Villeneuve is on board as an executive producer.

Squid Game season 2
Squid Game season 2 release date: December 26, 2024
Available on: Netflix
Korean hit Squid Game is officially returning to Netflix in 2024. The next installment will reunite us with winner Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) – and he's on a quest for revenge. Plot details are otherwise quite thin on the ground, but we do know that we can expect some new games and characters in the new season.
Daredevil: Born Again
Daredevil: Born Again release date: 2025
Available on: Disney Plus
Charlie Cox's Daredevil is getting another series, having returned in Spider-Man: No Way Home and going on to appear in She-Hulk and Echo, though this will be his first-ever starring role as part of the MCU. Plot details are scarce, though we do know that Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin returns and that the series will be 18 episodes long.
However, we'd say this one may still be a way off as even though filming began in March 2023, it's hit some big delays. Marvel has removed the current creative team and is in the process of replacing them.
