5 Most Anticipated TV Shows Coming in January 2024

The year 2023 was not an easy one, and the film and television industries have suffered the most, with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes causing huge losses for the major studios (it's nothing compared to what the writers and actors were able to achieve, though) and the production of the most anticipated movies and shows being postponed indefinitely or canceled.

Fortunately, several brand new premieres are already being prepared for release in January: fans of crime dramas and psychological thrillers will be especially pleased, as most of the upcoming shows below will be in these genres.

5. Death and Other Details, Season 1

The year 2024 will kick off with the release of the crime drama Death and Other Details on Hulu, starring Mandy Patinkin and Violett Beane. The plot can be described as follows: Agatha Christie's Poirot (or Benoit Blanc, if you're into Ryan Johnson's more postmodern take) investigates a murder among the wealthy of White Lotus. Once brilliant, now disgraced detective Rufus Coteworth (Patinkin) finds himself on a luxury cruise ship filled with the world's rich and powerful. Only there is a locked-room murder on the liner, and Coteworth must team up with his new protégé, Imogene Scott (Violett Beane), who has fallen under the suspicion of the ship's visitors.
