Adults is a young-adult ensemble comedy that premiered on FX and streams on Hulu, created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, two former late-night writers making their series debut. Executive produced by Nick Kroll, it follows a group of friends in their early twenties fumbling through the first stumbles of adulthood.
Set largely in one character's inherited family house in Queens, New York, the show tracks five friends, played by Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao, and Owen Thiele, as they navigate jobs, dating, health scares, and disastrous dinner parties with far more enthusiasm than competence. The comedy mines the gap between how grown-up its characters believe they are and how grown-up they actually are.
Debuting in 2025, Adults was embraced as a scrappy, joke-dense hangout comedy, with several critics comparing its friend-group chemistry to a Gen-Z Friends. It is streaming on Hulu.
Suits LA is a legal drama created by Aaron Korsh, a spin-off of his long-running hit Suits that relocates the franchise from Manhattan to the entertainment capital of Los Angeles. Stephen Amell stars as Ted Black, a former federal prosecutor from New York who has reinvented himself as a powerful attorney to the rich and famous, running a firm that handles both criminal defense and the high-stakes world of Hollywood dealmaking. When his practice is thrown into turmoil, Ted must fight to hold his empire together.
The series leans on the glossy, fast-talking appeal that made Suits a streaming juggernaut, pairing courtroom maneuvering with celebrity clients, office rivalries, and personal betrayals. Amell — familiar to genre audiences from Arrow — headlines a cast that includes Josh McDermitt, Lex Scott Davis, Bryan Greenberg, and Victoria Justice, building its own ensemble while nodding to the world fans already know.
Premiering on NBC in February 2025 and streaming on Peacock, Suits LA arrived on a wave of renewed interest in the original series, which had become a record-breaking streaming sensation years after its finale. Though NBC ultimately did not continue the show beyond its first season, it delivered the star cameos and slick drama that franchise fans came for. It streams on Peacock.
Toxic Town is a four-part British drama miniseries created by writer Jack Thorne and directed by Minkie Spiro, based on one of the United Kingdom's most significant environmental scandals. Set in the former steel town of Corby, it follows a group of mothers who come to realize that a shocking cluster of children born with limb differences may be linked to the way toxic waste was handled during the reclamation of the town's old steelworks. What begins as private grief becomes a collective fight for accountability.
Jodie Whittaker leads the cast as Susan McIntyre, one of the mothers who refuses to stay silent, alongside Aimee Lou Wood, Claudia Jessie, Robert Carlyle, Rory Kinnear, and Brendan Coyle. The series charts the families' long, exhausting battle to be believed — by officials, by the courts, and by a system inclined to look away — building to a landmark legal reckoning that would set a precedent in British environmental law.
Released globally on Netflix in early 2025, Toxic Town was praised for its righteous anger and its grounded, deeply human performances, drawing comparisons to other true-story dramas about ordinary people confronting powerful institutions. It streams on Netflix.
The Savant is an Apple TV+ thriller starring and executive produced by Jessica Chastain, inspired by a true story first reported in a ProPublica investigation. Chastain plays a woman known by the code name "the Savant," who works undercover inside online extremist communities, posing as a sympathizer in order to identify individuals plotting acts of violence and stop them before they can act. Operating largely in secret, she navigates a shadowy world where a single misstep could expose her.
Created by Melissa James Gibson, the eight-part series builds its tension around the psychological toll of the Savant's double life — the strain of immersing herself in hateful rhetoric while protecting her own family and identity. Chastain anchors the drama with a controlled, watchful performance, supported by an ensemble that grounds the high-stakes investigation in domestic reality. The show frames its subject as a study of vigilance, moral cost, and the quiet work of prevention.
Originally scheduled for a 2025 premiere, The Savant was postponed by Apple amid heightened public concern over political violence, before finally arriving in the summer of 2026. Its release drew renewed attention to the real-world reporting behind it and to Chastain's advocacy for the project. It streams on Apple TV+.
Doc is an American medical drama that premiered on Fox in January 2025 and quickly became one of the most-watched new network series in years. Molly Parker stars as Dr. Amy Larsen, a brilliant and demanding chief of internal medicine whose life is upended when a car accident erases roughly the last eight years of her memory. She wakes believing she is a different person — happily married, with a living son — and must relearn who she has become, both professionally and personally, while continuing to practice medicine.
Created by Barbie Kligman and developed with Hank Steinberg, the series uses its high-concept premise to explore identity, regret, and second chances: the version of Amy who lost those years was warmer and less guarded than the woman her colleagues came to fear. The strong ensemble — including Omar Metwally, Amirah Vann, Jon Ecker, and Scott Wolf — surrounds Parker as Amy navigates fractured relationships and the disorienting gap between who she was and who she is now.
Doc delivered Fox its best drama debut in five years and grew into a global streaming phenomenon, earning praise for Parker's layered central performance and a swift renewal. Its blend of procedural medical cases and serialized emotional stakes struck a chord with audiences hungry for character-driven network drama. It streams on Hulu.
Marvel Zombies is an adult animated horror series from Marvel Studios Animation, created by Bryan Andrews and Zeb Wells for Disney+. Expanding the fan-favorite "What If…? Zombies?!" episode into its own story, it drops a roster of familiar heroes into an alternate timeline overrun by a superpowered undead plague.
A band of survivors — including Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel (Iman Vellani), Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld), and Riri Williams / Ironheart (Dominique Thorne) — fights across a ruined landscape in search of a way to end the outbreak, all while battling zombified versions of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most powerful figures. The voice cast also features Elizabeth Olsen, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, Paul Rudd, and Tessa Thompson.
Premiering in September 2025, the four-episode series became Marvel Studios Animation's first project to carry a TV-MA rating, leaning into gore and body horror that its live-action counterparts avoid. Critics gave it a 66% Rotten Tomatoes score, calling it a gleefully cruel treat for both MCU fans and horror lovers.
Leanne is a multi-camera Netflix sitcom built around stand-up comedian Leanne Morgan, who created the series with television legend Chuck Lorre and writer Susan McMartin. A deliberate throwback to classic broadcast sitcoms, complete with a studio-audience feel, it channels Morgan's warm, Southern comic voice into a story of starting over in midlife.
Morgan stars as a Tennessee woman whose husband of more than three decades abruptly leaves her for another woman, forcing her to rebuild her life with the help of her tart-tongued, twice-divorced sister (Kristen Johnston) and her close-knit family. Celia Weston, Blake Clark, and Ryan Stiles round out an ensemble that leans into big, relatable laughs about marriage, family, and second acts.
Netflix released all sixteen first-season episodes at once in July 2025, and the show's easygoing charm and Morgan's likability earned it a 71% Rotten Tomatoes score. The streamer's confidence was immediate: it renewed the series for a second season barely a month after the premiere.
Twisted Metal is an action-comedy series based on Sony's long-running PlayStation vehicular-combat video game, developed for Peacock by Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and showrunner Michael Jonathan Smith. Set in a lawless, post-apocalyptic wasteland known as the Divided States of America, it pairs demolition-derby carnage with irreverent, foul-mouthed humor.
Anthony Mackie stars as John Doe, an amnesiac "milkman" delivery driver who is offered a shot at a better life if he can transport a mysterious package across deadly territory. Stephanie Beatriz plays the fierce car thief Quiet, while the iconic ice-cream-truck-driving killer clown Sweet Tooth is performed physically by Joe Seanoa and voiced by Will Arnett. Season two, released in 2025, finally stages the franchise's signature tournament, presided over by the enigmatic Calypso (Anthony Carrigan).
After a mixed but popular first season, Twisted Metal roared back with a second season that won over critics, jumping to a 92% Rotten Tomatoes score for its faster pace, bigger action, and deeper embrace of the games. It has become one of Peacock's signature genre titles.
The Rainmaker is a legal drama developed by Michael Seitzman and Jason Richman, adapting John Grisham's 1995 bestseller for USA Network. A fresh take on a story previously brought to the screen by Francis Ford Coppola in 1997, it repackages Grisham's David-and-Goliath courtroom saga as a serialized television thriller.
Milo Callaghan stars as Rudy Baylor, an idealistic young lawyer who is fired from a prestigious firm and lands at a scrappy personal-injury practice, where he takes on a wrongful-death suit against a powerful hospital and uncovers a chain of suspicious deaths. John Slattery, Lana Parrilla, Madison Iseman, and P.J. Byrne co-star in a case that grows into something far more sinister than a simple malpractice claim.
Premiering in August 2025, the series drew mixed reviews — a 50% Rotten Tomatoes score — with some critics missing the novel's flavor, but its brisk plotting and courtroom hooks connected with audiences, and USA Network renewed it for a second season within weeks of its debut. It streams on Peacock.
Government Cheese is a surreal family comedy created by Paul Hunter and Aeysha Carr for Apple TV+, set in the San Fernando Valley in 1969. Whimsical and visually stylized, the series filters an African American family's story through a dreamlike, almost fable-like sensibility that sets it apart from conventional period sitcoms.
David Oyelowo stars as Hampton Chambers, a dreamer and recently released ex-convict who returns home determined to reinvent himself as an inventor, pinning his hopes on a self-sharpening drill he calls the "Bit Magician." But the family he left behind has moved on without him, and his comeback is complicated by debts, dangerous acquaintances, and moments of seemingly divine intervention. Simone Missick plays his wife Astoria, with Bokeem Woodbine among the supporting cast.
Premiering in April 2025, Government Cheese earned generally favorable reviews, holding a 73% Rotten Tomatoes score, with critics praising its offbeat writing and warm, tangy performances even when its tone proved divisive. It stands as one of the more idiosyncratic comedies in the Apple TV+ catalog.
The Hunting Wives is a steamy, twist-laden crime drama created by Rebecca Cutter and adapted from May Cobb's 2021 novel.

Brittany Snow plays Sophie O'Neil, a Massachusetts transplant who follows her husband to a wealthy East Texas town and is quickly drawn into the orbit of Margo Banks (Malin Akerman), the magnetic, gun-toting queen bee of a clique of influential wives. When a teenage girl turns up dead, Sophie becomes the prime suspect, and the group's glossy world of guns, God, and gossip cracks open to reveal blackmail, affairs, and long-hidden crimes. Dermot Mulroney, Katie Lowes, and Chrissy Metz co-star.
Originally commissioned by Starz before Netflix acquired the U.S. rights, the series rocketed up the charts on release, drawing more than two billion minutes of viewing in a single week and earning an 81% Rotten Tomatoes score.
