The slate is still full for television shows in 2024, despite the writers' and actors' joint strike. There are many returning shows due to be released, but there is also a good crop of brand-new shows making their way to television screens in 2024. These highly anticipated shows pave the way for the potential of next year being even bigger than 2023.
There seems to be shows to cater to everyone. There's the string of Marvel universe series coming to Disney+, Netflix's continued interest in crime thrillers, and a number of video games being adapted into high-end television dramas. Streamers also have a propensity to drop shows unexpectedly at the last minute, that tend to capture the viewer's imagination despite no initial fanfare. The effects of the strike will inevitably push back a number of shows, but this might pave the way for other lesser known shows to shine and potentially become the next big thing.

Colin Farrell was one of the highlights of Matt Reeves' The Batman, with his portrayal of The Penguin earning rave reviews from fans and critics. He is absolutely unrecognizable, donning a fat suit for the role of one of Batman's biggest enemies.
His iteration of the character was so successful, a spin-off television series was promptly announced. The Penguin is due to air on HBO Max in late 2024, and it will consist of 8 episodes. Fans can't wait to see what direction the series will take, and it will likely set up some of the events of The Batman 2, with the sequel looking to be even better. The trailer was well received, and it looks like the show will continue with the dark atmosphere set up in Farrell's first appearance as the titular character in The Batman.

True Detective was one of HBO's biggest hits when it debuted in 2014, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. However, subsequent series have failed to live up to the debut season thus far. The first season was tied up nicely, meaning it was impossible to carry on with the original story, so they opted to turn it into an anthology series.
True Detective: Night Country will be the fourth entry in the series. The story sees Jodie Foster take on the lead role of Detective Liz Danvers, who investigates the vanishing of several men at a research station in Ennis, Alaska. The trailer looks very creepy, and this could finally be the series that holds up to the original. Having Jodie Foster on board is fantastic, as she's an A-list star who will attract more viewers.

Echo is Marvel's new miniseries set to focus on the origin story of Maya Lopez, who first appeared in Hawkeye. She is forced to face up to her past and reconnect with her Native American roots, as she attempts to move forward with her life.
Marvel Studios' television output has been much better than the movies recently, so there are high hopes for this new series. To add to the anticipation of the upcoming show, is the return of Daredevil villain Wilson Fisk, expertly played by character actor Vincent D'Onofrio. In addition, Charlie Cox has been confirmed to return as Daredevil in the Echo series.

Screen adaptations of video games have gotten increasingly better in recent years, especially when they opt for a television series rather than a movie. 2024 will see the adaptation of the popular post-apocalyptic video game Fallout, and fans are hoping it will live up to the standard of the games.
The dark Fallout series is due to premiere in April, so there are a few more months to wait yet. So far, the project looks to be in safe hands, with Jonathan Nolan behind the creation of the new series. The cast will include Walton Goggins and Kyle MacLachlan, adding gravitas to the project.
