TV Shows

A new month, and the last of the new TV show releases for 2,025, ready to sabotage whatever tiny amount of free time you have left. December knows you have a lot of holiday plans, and that’s why it’s pretty slim pickings for shows worth your time. But you are here to be entertained, so here’s what I’ll be watching as 2025 wraps up.

When I was younger, the week after the Emmys was the greatest time for a TV fan. All of the new shows were back in full force, and the summer rerun season was over. Kids today have no idea what it was like, seeing repeat episodes for basically four months. Well, the Emmys are over, and look at that, many big-time shows are hitting the schedule in October. It’s time to cook a turkey and get cozy. From gritty thrillers to feel-good comedies, slick spy games to spooky atmospheres, this month’s premieres are here to keep you glued to the screen. Whether you’re bingeing or pacing yourself week by week, there’s something new every kind of viewer will want in their queue.

Summer’s still sizzling—and August 2025 is bringing even more TV heat. Gone are the days of summer reruns, this month’s lineup is bursting with star-studded historical epics, sci-fi thrillers, courtroom face-offs, and even preschool superheroes. Start clearing your schedule (and maybe hoisting a chair on the patio).

Summer’s heating up—and so is this month’s TV lineup. When I was growing up, the summer meant reruns, but in the age of streaming, that’s not the case anymore. July 2025 brings us everything from gritty crime dramas (Dexter: Resurrection) to dreamy sci‑fi finales (The Sandman), serial‑killer slogs (The Institute), and cheeky comedies (South Park). You’re gonna want to clear your schedule—and maybe your patio too.
