The Time Traveler's Wife Steven Moffat

Dracula Steven Moffat & Mark Gatiss

Y: The Last Man Michael Green (co-showrunner of American Gods: Season 1 and co-writer of Blade Runner 2049)

The Nevers Joss Whedon (Yes, he turned out to be just as toxic as his fictional avatar Xander Harris [Which in retrospect really shouldn't have been surprising.], but damn if he doesn't know how to spin an emotionally powerful genre story.)
 
Besides killing it with Enterprise: Season 4, Coto's 24 revival miniseries Live Another Day was surprisingly great. And I've heard good things about his abruptly cancelled Odyssey 5. Here's hoping his new show lasts longer than his previous one season runs on things. He's a really underrated showrunner.
 
NeXt already looked interesting, but hearing that Manny Coto is in charge definitely makes me even more interested.
I just remembered some others I forgot.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance - Netflix It's a kind of funny I forgot this one, because it is pretty much my most anticipated show right now.
Ghost Rider - Netflix
Howard the Duck - Hulu
M.O.D.O.K. - Hulu
The Dazzler & Tigra Show - Hulu
Hit-Monkey - Hulu
Y: The Last Man - Hulu
EDIT: Remembered even more, all coming from The Jim Henson Company
The Witchlands
The Storyteller revival
Knights of Panterra

Really Excited for:

Star Trek: Picard (CBS All Access)
Ghost Rider (Hulu)
Lord of the Rings thing (Amazon)
Howard the Duck (Hulu) [Kevin Smith working on this means it could be pretty great]
Falcon & Winter Soldier (Disney+)
Untitled(?) Loki show (Disney+)
MCU What If (Disney+)

Cautiously Optimistic for:
The Mandalorian (Disney+) [It looks cool, but Dave Filoni being connected to it is a big negative for me, since he has always been terrible with Mandalorians, which is why this show isn't on the top list]
Helstrom (Hulu)
WandaVision (Disney+)
Star Wars: TCW Final/Extra Season (Disney+)
Hawkeye (Disney+)
Section 31/Michelle Yeoh focused Star Trek spin off (CBS All Access)
M.O.D.O.K. (Hulu)

Looking at all these promising genre shows, it just hit me again how spoiled we are. What a great time to be a geek.

Eh, for me TV wise it averages maybe 2-3 good shows a year if I'm lucky (and that's counting returning shows). When it comes to movies then everything is going great, but I could use a few more good TV shows on TV/streaming right now. It feels like Disney/Disney+ is going to be bringing more good genre stuff in the TV/TV style area though, which is great. Without Disney stuff, my "upcoming" list would just be two Star Trek spinoffs and a LoTR spinoff.

We're definitely not spoiled when it comes to TV/Streaming stuff. Now, the 90s through early 2000s, that was a time to be into nerdy stuff, at least as a Sci Fi fan (superhero stuff was pretty dire back then, admittedly, but SciFi and Fantasy had its best TV era around then).
 
Doesn't really belong on this board, as it's not sci-fi, and doesn't belong in this thread, as it's not in development, but I'll be stupid and ask anyway: is anyone else watching Chernobyl right now?

Very well done, and very effective.
 
I am excited for:
Any of Star Trek series especially Picard
Any GoT spinoffs

Will give Watchmen a try

Pass on the rest
 
Avatar: The Last Airbender Live Action - Netflix
Cowboy Bebop Live Action - Netflix
Dracula - BBC
Falcon & Winter Soldier - Disney+
Hawkeye - Disney+
His Dark Materials - HBO
Loki - Disney+
Lord of the Rings - Amazon
One Piece Live Action - Netflix
Rivers of London - ?
Star Trek: Cartoon - Nick
Star Trek: Lower Decks - CBS
Star Trek: Picard - CBS
Star Trek: Pike (oh, it's coming) - CBS
Star Trek: Section 31 - CBS
Star Wars: The Mandalorian - Disney+
The Black Company - ?
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance - Netflix
The Long Night - HBO
The Witcher - Netflix

I used to think that the 90's were the Golden age of sci-fi and fantasy on television. How wrong I was.

NeXt actually looks a lot like Odyssey 5 with the whole "humans battle against artificial intelligence" premise.
