Make sure you've tried the best new series of the past year

The season 3 finale was absolutely gripping and confirmed that Succession is one of the most incredible series out at the moment. However, sadly the writers announced season 4 would be the last, so, at least if you haven't seen the series yet, you can binge watch the whole thing!

The success of The Boys has led to a spinoff that, in addition to the brutality of the mother series, will see its main characters as high school students. Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas and Jaz Sinclair lead the cast as they discover the dark plots behind the school for superheroes.

When thinking of recent releases, let no one forget Euphoria. This series returned in 2023 with more high school drama, more excess, more sublime performances, more Zendaya, more Sydney Sweeney, and more Sam Levinson.

Due to the age of its main characters, it was the last season of one of the best series in the history of Netflix. Funny, fresh, without taboos and facing sexual relations as what it is, something of the everyday life of billions of people.

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey starred in this story set in a post-apocalyptic world, where humanity has been wiped out by a virus, proving that nature always prevails. It went down so well that production for the second series will start in February 2024, according to Digital Spy.

The Skrulls have finally arrived to the Marvel universe and they revealed how they infiltrated Earth in the 90's thanks to their shapeshifting abilities. Emilia Clarke, Olivia Colman and Kingsley Ben-Adir joined the Marvel cast for an out-of-this-world series; brilliantly slotting into the MCU and giving us food for thought as to where Emilia Clarke's character will go in the future...

It's a series in which Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short are pure chemistry in every scene they share. They set out to discover who is the murderer behind the scenes at a Broadway show in the third season.

A contemporary classic that continued to masterfully combine love, sex, time travel and classic costumes. Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe continue to lead the series, bringing to life their already legendary Jamie and Claire.

The series on Apple TV Plus kept up the pace in its second season and Jason Sudeikis proves, once again, that he has some serious skill in the world of comedy. So he sported a mustache for another year.

The Star Wars universe continued to bring joy to Disney. In this case, Ahsoka Tano, who is played by Rosario Dawson, had her own series, after shining in the Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.

Netflix is looking for a new fantasy adventure saga to secure its future and 'Shadow and Bone' could be the one. Alina Starkov and her power over the audience is too attractive for it not to succeed. Also receiving a high score on Rotten Tomatoes, season two has 'all of the tenets of a high fantasy adventure including a beautiful world to play in and themes of love, fate, and choice to explore', said top critic from Autostraddle on the website.

The reboot of 'Sex and the City' was going to be a closed miniseries but (and despite its negative reviews) it did have great viewing success, so a second season was inevitable. There is a 'new Samantha' and Kim Cattrall even makes a cameo after previously making it clear she didn't want to have any part in the series.

The happy place of millions, one of the most beautiful and true love stories of the year returned in 2023. Charlie, Nick and company's story continues to evolve, hand in hand with Alice Oseman's graphic novels, on which the series is based.

The anticipated second season for lovers of the Lee Child book. Bigger and better and back with his old team, this season takes on the novel 'Bad Luck and Trouble'. Some good dry humour and staying true to the characters of the books, this is one book/series adaptation that is really worth reading and watching in harmony.
