The Unmissable New TV Shows To Add To Your Watch List

Part true crime podcast, part TikTok comedy reel and part old-school New York razzle-dazzle, there is something about this show that truly nails the zeitgeist. Now in its fifth season, the gang – Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short – are back together to solve the mysterious death of their beloved doorman, Lester. Expect all the gags and bloopers of previous seasons – plus, special guest appearances from Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Renée Zellweger, Beanie Feldstein. On Disney+ from September 9

Perhaps the most adorable show to come out of 2024… Nobody Wants This is pure rom-com alchemy. With season one emerging as Netflix’s sleeper hit, hopes are high for its follow-up, with viewers on tenterhooks to see how podcaster Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Rabbi Noah’s (Adam Brody) unlikely relationship unfurls – as the hilarious supporting cast of Justine Lupe, Jackie Tohn and Timothy Simons flap around them. On Netflix from October 23

The Diplomat is one of the juiciest shows on TV right now, and this third season reaches new heights of scandal. Keri Russell resumes duties as the US ambassador to the UK, still scarily out of her depth as chaos unfurls all around – while Allison Janney reunites with her West Wing co-star Bradley Whitford as the ultimate toxic twosome, here to wreak havoc on the hill. On Netflix from October 16

This is Glen Powell as you’ve never seen him; donning prosthetics and a dodgy toupee to transform from disgraced quarterback Russ Holliday to unknown wildcard player Chad Powers, in order to revive a flailing college football team. Born from former footballer Eli Manning’s viral prank and co-written by Powell himself, it’s a playful redemption tale full of slapstick and, of course, some serious sporting moments too. Think Friday Night Lights meets Ted Lasso meets Mrs. Doubtfire. On Disney+ from September 30

Jeremy Allen White and his motley crew of wannabe chefs – Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce et al – are back for a hotly anticipated fourth season, diving in straight after last season’s cliffhanger of a finale. Expect more starry cameos from Jamie Lee Curtis, Olivia Colman and Sarah Paulson – and, of course, lashings of high-octane culinary drama. Yes, chef! On FX now

Fans of Girls, rejoice: Lena Dunham returns with Too Much, a whip-smart breakup saga that follows Megan Stalter (of Hacks fame) as a brilliantly unhinged New Yorker who flees to London in search of reinvention and romance. With a stacked cast (Emily Ratajkowski, Adwoa Aboah, Will Sharpe, Andrew Scott, Naomi Watts, Rhea Perlman), plus razor-sharp dialogue and magnetic performances, Too Much confirms that Dunham still has one of the keenest eyes for human unraveling. On Netflix now

Alex Cooper, the media mogul behind the chart-topping podcast Call Her Daddy – on which Cooper has interviewed everyone from Kamala Harris to Hailey Bieber – is one of the internet’s greatest success stories. This two-part docu-series explores Cooper’s meteoric ascent from young aspiring soccer player to founder of a flourishing media empire, as she prepares for her first live tour. On Hulu now

And, in true Burton style, there is an original Danny Elfman score to really raise the eerieness levels. On Netflix from August 6

It’s difficult to believe we are on the fourth season of the mesmerizing madness that is The Morning Show.
