The Big Bang Theory
Kicking off this list is Warner Bros. Discovery’s confirmation of a second spin-off for The Big Bang Theory. Chuck Lorre, the show’s co-creator and executive producer, is spearheading the new show for Max. While no concrete details were disclosed during the presentation, the mere thought that The Big Bang Theory universe is expanding yet again is more than enough to cause excitement.
Harry Potter
Another surprising announcement made during the WBD press presentation was the confirmation that a Harry Potter series is officially in the works, putting to rest long-standing rumors. The company shared in a press release that it will be a “decade-long series produced with the same epic craft, love, and care this global franchise is known for.” In addition, a new cast will portray the iconic characters, and Warner Bros. Discovery promises that “each season will be authentic to the original books.”
True Detective: Night Country
HBO dropped the first teaser trailer for True Detective‘s upcoming fourth season, True Detective: Night Country. Oscar winner Jodie Foster and boxer-actress Kali Reis are among the stars of the crime anthology directed by renowned filmmaker Issa López. The new season’s Alaskan setting takes center stage in the trailer, emphasizing how the absence of sunlight will set the chilling tone for the murder mystery.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight
HBO is also set to air A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight, a prequel series based on George R.R. Martin’s Dunk and Egg books, delving into the Game of Thrones universe. Martin and Ira Parker, co-executive producers of House of the Dragon, will take on the roles of writer and executive producer, respectively, promising an exciting story full of epic shocks and surprises.

The Penguin
Warner Bros. Discovery has pulled back the curtain on The Penguin, a highly anticipated spin-off series centered around Colin Farrell’s portrayal of the notorious Gotham City gangster from the 2022 hit, The Batman. This TV show will take a radical turn from the standard Batman formula by concentrating less on him and more on the dark and twisted realm in which the Penguin operates. With Matt Reeves and Lauren LeFranc as executive producers, with the latter as the showrunner, expect an enthralling exploration of the Penguin’s world like never before.
The Boys
The Boys season 4 has officially wrapped, and showrunner Eric Kripke marked the occasion by sharing behind-the-scenes snapshots of stars Jack Quaid and Karen Fukuhara sporting some battle scars. Adapted from Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson’s comic book series, The Boys has captivated audiences since its 2019 debut. With production now complete, fans can anticipate another fun yet thrilling chapter in the action-packed saga.
