Star Wars: Ahsoka

Lucasfilm and Star Wars released quite a few shows this year. In fact, there was an entire season of Star Wars: The Mandalorian™. And yet, Star Wars: Ahsoka™ was able to draw on the characters and lore established in the prequel series and the animated series Star Wars: Rebels™. Only Ahsoka Tano™ could bring out the best of the best, from Hera Syndulla™ to Sabine Wren™ and even Darth Vader™.

Good Omens

Season 2 of Good Omens was absolutely ineffable. However, we’ll do our best to put our enthusiasm into words. Not only did we get to experience joy and sorrow, but now, fans can even expect a third and final season! None of this would have been possible if season 2 this year didn’t deliver such satisfying, fun, heart-wrenching, and squeal-inducing episodes.

One Piece

This year, Netflix released their live-action adaptation of the popular manga and anime One Piece. Fans fell in love fast with the Straw Hat crew — from Monkey D. Luffy to Zoro and more, the gang’s all here!

The Witcher

The third season of Netflix’s live-action adaptation of The Witcher took the series to all new heights. The story was based on Time of Contempt, but featured additional details from Blood of Elves and Baptism of Fire. This was also the last time that Henry Cavill would play Geralt of Rivia.

The Last of Us

WB released The Last of Us on HBO Max (now Max) on January 15, 2023. It was an extremely strong start to the year for fans of sci-fi and horror. The writers were able to adapt the extremely popular video game in a unique and creative way, spending more time with fan-favorite characters than ever before.

Loki

Marvel finally released the second season of the series Loki. Fans were overjoyed to return to the mysteries of the Time Variance Authority. Slipping through time is most definitely dangerous, but luckily, anything is possible with a little help from your time-traveling, blade-wielding variant friends. Of course, we get to see even more multiversal variants in season 2 of Marvel’s What If…?, which is also out now!

Gen V

Amazon Prime Video promised us absolute chaos before the release of Gen V, a spinoff that takes place in the same world as The Boys. Without a doubt, there was chaos. However, they didn’t warn us that it would be so heartbreaking to get attached to these characters, see them struggle, and watch them get crushed beneath the overpowering thumb of Vought.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is in the middle of its release right now! It’s a brand new live-action adaptation of the popular novels written by Rick Riordan. While Disney has only released three episodes so far, fans have already expressed their attachment to the characters and their appreciation for some of the updates made to the world.

Last, but certainly not least, is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. This series continues to follow Captain Christopher Pike years before his tragic accident. Strange New Worlds season 2 has it all, from courtroom drama to Star Trek‘s first musical episode, and so much more!
