There are two new series for Western fans from showrunner Taylor Sheridan, along with two new – albeit very opposite – seasons of a popular superhero series. There’s the latest from show creator Bill Lawrence of “nice” comedy. And for some star power, don’t miss the latest series starring the likes of Nicole Kidman, Elizabeth Moss, Riz Ahmed, and Rachel Weisz, all of this before even touching the many “honorable mentions,” which include an ongoing science-fiction favorite, the second season of a popular live-action adaptation, and more.
