The Last of Us
The Last of Us is one TV show you won’t want to miss in 2023, regardless of whether you’ve played the video game or not.
The series is set in a post-apocalyptic America that has been ravaged by a pandemic that turns those infected into gruesome zombies. The story follows a hardened survivor, Joel, who is tasked with escorting a teenage girl, Ellie, across the country.
The Last of Us is one of the best stories ever told in a video game, and it will no doubt be the same on television.

You – Season 4
Penn Badgley’s charming serial killer is back for another season as Netflix continues its adaptation of Caroline Kepnes’ You book series.
The fourth season sees Joe start afresh in a new city after getting away with murder once again. We can go ahead and assume the saying ‘new city new me’ probably doesn’t apply in this case.

Carnival Row – Season 2
Carnival Row brings a unique crime thriller angle to the fantasy genre as inspector Rycroft Philostrate (Orlando Bloom) investigates a series of murders in a world where humans and creatures live together. The second and last season promises impossible dilemmas and soul-defining tests for each of the characters.

Yellowjackets – Season 2
Yellowjackets raised plenty of questions in season one and we’re still yet to find out how the stranded women’s soccer team go from teenage girls fighting for survival to cult-like clans murdering each other in the wilderness. Season 2 will hopefully bring some answers.
Release date: March 24, 2023
Where to watch in Australia: Paramount+
Secret Invasion
Marvel is continuing its hot streak of Disney+ shows set in the MCU with a big line-up planned for 2023. The first series we’ll see is Secret Invasion, starring Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury.
The series adapts the iconic Marvel comic book storyline that sees the shapeshifting Skrulls adopt the identity of powerful players around the world in their infiltration of Earth. Olivia Colman, Emilia Clarke and Ben Mendelsohn are also set to star.
Release date: Autumn 2023
Where to watch in Australia: Disney+
Succession – Season 4
The war within the Roy family will continue in season 4 of Succession, which sees the sale of Waystar Royco move forward. Of course, not everyone is happy with the sale which sews further division in the family.
Release date: Autumn 2023

The Witcher – Season 3
While 2022 brings us the release of spin-off series The Witcher: Blood Origin, we’ll have to wait until 2023 to see Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia again.
The third season of The Witcher will tackle the next book in the series, The Time of Contempt, in which Geralt is still trying to protect his ward, Ciri, from the dangerous forces who seek her power. Yennefer is also along for the ride to help Ciri with her magical training, although things are probably still a bit tense after that Season 2 revelation.
Release date: Winter 2023
Where to watch in Australia: Netflix
The Boys – Season 4
Superhero satire series The Boys showed us an even bloodier and raunchier side of its superheroes in Season 3 this year. Going into Season 4, things are looking grim for the team now that Homelander and Ryan are on the same side.
We’re being optimistic about this one releasing in 2023, but The Boys has had a pretty good track record with yearly releases, so we’re fairly confident we’ll still see it at some point in 2023.
Release date: 2023 TBC

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
Jumping off the success of its hit period romance Bridgerton, Netflix has commissioned a spin-off series starring a young version of Queen Charlotte.
The series will reveal how Queen Charlotte rose to her position of prominence and power. Golda Rosheuval, Adjoa Andoh, and Ruth Gemmell will all reprise their roles and be joined by new cast members playing their character’s younger counterparts.
Release date: 2023 TBC
Where to watch in Australia: Netflix
Only Murders in the Building – Season 3
Selena Gomez, Martin Short and Steve Martin’s trio of lovable podcasters can’t seem to stop getting into trouble. The next season of Only Murders in the Building sees them wrapped up in another murder mystery after a new friend dies suspiciously. Who did it? Start placing your bets.
Release date: 2023 TBC
Where to watch in Australia: Disney+
Ted Lasso – Season 3
It’s been a tough year without our favourite beacon of optimism, Ted Lasso, but hopefully, that will all change in 2023.
A third (and possibly final) season of Apple TV+’s hit comedy is on the way and not a moment too soon. We’re all dying to know what happens next between Coach Lasso and his protege Nate, as well as whether AFC Richmond can come out on top in the championship.
Release date: 2023 TBC
Where to watch in Australia: Apple TV+
Gen V
While we’re still waiting for news on The Boys, we do know the college spin-off show Gen V will hit our screens next year.
The series is set at Vought’s school for young adult superheroes who embark on Hunger Games-style hazing rituals to achieve the college’s top ranking. Naturally, there’s plenty of blood, sex and ethical and moral boundary-pushing as well.
Release date: 2023 TBC
Where to watch in Australia: Prime Video
The White Lotus – Season 3
The White Lotus only recently wrapped up its second season in Italy, but given the massive viral storm it cooked up, HBO was quick to announce it would be getting a third season.
There’s no telling where that new season could go but it will likely follow the anthology style of a new group of travellers dealing with their high society issues at another White Lotus resort.
It’s not been confirmed whether The White Lotus’ third season will even hit screens in 2023, but given the one-year gap between seasons 1 and 2, we can hope it will release later this year.
Release date: 2023 TBC
