The Pitt: Season 2 (January 9)

With its utterly absorbing first season, this medical drama marked itself as 2025’s best show. I would give that honour to Pluribus, but we’re not getting more episodes of that show for, what, another two years??! Meanwhile, the tireless staff of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center have already served up another season of, well, trauma, ready to whiten our knuckles and increase our blood pressure this very month.

Each hour-long episode of the series represents an hour of narrative time, too, meaning we’re right there over the shoulders of doctors, nurses and desperate patients as the shift/season unfolds. I am enthralled to see what my faves are up to—or more realistically, what horrible, soul-crushing emergencies they’re coping with.

Industry: Season 4 (January 12)

The young cast of this scintillating finance drama keep getting more and more famous—Myha’la, Marisa Abela and David Jonsson, to name a few—but most of them are still turning up to the cutthroat London offices of Pierpoint & Co, makin’ deals and takin’ names. Why? I can’t really say, because the work and social climate there is truly miserable. I also can’t say because I’m a big dummy and struggle to comprehend all the economic ins-and-outs that are being spat out a mile a minute.

Episodes of the fourth season will drop weekly, on the same day as the US release. Last season ended with a shocking death, a six-month time jump, and Abela’s Yasmin dealing with both a PR crisis and the acceptance of a loveless marriage proposal. Just another day at the office, really!

Sinners (January 16)

How will this barnstorming, genre-mashing, blues-fuelled blockbuster fare on your small screen instead of IMAX? I was blown away by director Ryan Coogler’s vision and Michael B Jordan’s suave double-barrelled performances, and I’m fairly sure it’ll have a similiar effect rewatched in my living room.

Jordan plays bootlegging brothers Smoke and Stack in the Prohibition-era South, but on the very night that they’re launching a raucous juke joint, who should come a-knocking but Irish vampires? The action and supernatural storytelling is fabulously entertaining, but what’s most memorable about Sinners is its use of music—the score stings, song is an overarching theme, and one standout scene collides the entire history of African American melody into one blazing inferno.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (January 19)

Based on George RR Martin’s Dunk and Egg novellas, this prequel to the mighty Game of Thrones series promises to be a Westeros palate cleanser of sorts. It’s only six episodes, each dropping weekly and at the same time as the US, and doesn’t have as much of the hefty family-tree-tracking and destiny-following of the two other Martin TV shows we’ve watched.

Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell are Ser Duncan the Tall and his unlikely squire Prince Aegon: respectively, a lowborn hedge knight, and one of them white-haired Targaryen freaks, who just might wind up as a fairly nice and decent king someday. I am hoping for a Shrek/Donkey type dynamic, a bit of road trip buddy comedy. Wouldn’t mind seeing a big angry flying reptile or two, neither, as the series takes place almost a century before GoT: in an age of dragons!
