  • - Here are our most anticipated

  • television shows of 2020.

  • Arrow, Supernatural, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Glow,

  • Corporate, Homeland, The Good Place, Doc McStuffins.

  • Get ready to pour one out,

  • because they are all going away in the new year.

  • - Somebody royally forked up.

  • - But lucky for you there are plenty of replacements,

  • and we're going to rundown

  • our most anticipated shows of 2020.

  • First off, Snowpiercer.

  • One of the best comic book movies of this decade

  • is getting a TV show spinoff.

  • We love both the original French graphic novel,

  • "Le Transperceneige", and the 2013 Bong Joon-ho film.

  • So take our ticket as we hop on board the hype train

  • for this new television adaptation.

  • And while the small screen version

  • has gone off the rails a few times with delays,

  • it appears this time the show will be on time

  • when it leaves the station for its 2020 release.

  • This next show doesn't have a title yet,

  • but we know it's coming from Tina Fey

  • and it's basically the spiritual successor to 30 Rock.

  • Originally written for Alec Baldwin's character,

  • Jack Donaghy, the show has been retooled

  • to be about a wealthy businessman, played by Ted Danson,

  • who runs for mayor in Los Angeles and wins.

  • Sounds like a mix between The Good Place and 30 Rock,

  • which sounds like a win-win for us.

  • Our next pick is, wait, seriously,

  • another comic book adaptation?

  • This isn't gonna be a thing, is it?

  • - [BComp] It is.

  • - It is?

  • - [BComp] It is.

  • - Okay, anyway, it's Y: The Last Man on FX.

  • Why this show, you may ask?

  • Because it's based on the excellent comic series

  • where a man and his monkeys survive a global event

  • that wipes out all other males.

  • The real question is why the hell

  • did it take so long to make?

  • Jordan Peele is going to have a big year on television

  • in 2020, with two new upcoming series he's producing

  • that have both made it to this list.

  • The first is Hunters, the Amazon Prime series

  • about a diverse group of people hunting Nazis

  • in New York City in the 1970s.

  • If that's not enough to sell you on it,

  • then the fact that they're led by Al Pacino

  • should seal the deal.

  • The other show on the list is Lovecraft Country.

  • This HBO series is an adaptation

  • of Matt Ruff's excellent novel of the same name

  • about the horrors, both supernatural and racial,

  • in Jim Crow America.

  • With Jordan Peele's recent track record

  • with "Us" and "Get Out",

  • we can't wait for him to tackle some cosmic horror.

  • From horror adaptations on HBO,

  • to HBO adaptations of horror,

  • our next pick is The Outsider.

  • Based on the Stephen King novel,

  • this murder mystery with a supernatural edge

  • has got the recipe for success,

  • Ben Mendelsohn and Jason Bateman,

  • a True Detective-style mystery,

  • wrapped up as a Stephen King HBO show.

  • Works for us.

  • Did you know we have a thing for The Office around here?

  • - No!

  • - No, seriously, we love it.

  • And that is why we are super stoked about the upcoming

  • Steve Carell show, Space Force.

  • Now there's little known about the show so far,

  • outside of it coming to Netflix in 2020,

  • and it's from Greg Daniels,

  • the creator of the American version of The Office.

  • So, yeah, of course we are strapping in for this show.

  • In the same vein, Avenue 5, the other space comedy

  • starring Hugh Laurie, the trailer for that makes it feel

  • like the perfect successor to Veep,

  • especially considering they share a creator.

  • We may not yet understand why it's called Avenue 5,

  • but we think it'll be out of this world.

  • Our next pick is from the Marvel Cinematic Universe,

  • The Falcon and Bucky Show on Disney+.

  • We can't wait to see some of that MCU magic

  • on the small screen,

  • especially considering the duo's on-screen chemistry

  • in "Captain America: Civil War."

  • - Can you move your seat up?

  • - No.

  • - If you thought we were out of comic book TV adaptations

  • to be hyped about in 2020,

  • guess again, because that would mean you forgot

  • all about "Locke & Key", coming to Netflix in February.

  • The powers that be have tried to make a show

  • based on the Joe Hill comic for what feels like 100 years,

  • so we are glad to see someone

  • finally unlocked the formula for success.

  • All the rest of our picks

  • might have been in no particular order,

  • but we do have to say that this final one

  • is definitely our most anticipated.

  • Picard.

  • BComp still openly weeps when someone mentions

  • that we are about to see more adventures of Jean-Luc.

  • - [BComp] That's not a lie.

  • - Yeah, we sorely missed our space-faring family,

  • and based on the terrible sendoff they got

  • with "Star Trek: Nemesis,"

  • we're glad we're getting one more chance

  • to do right by them.

  • - Engage.

  • - And that's the list of Nerdist's most anticipated

  • brand-spanking new television series of 2020.

  • And look, we might have missed

  • a few good picks here and there,

  • but hey, we don't have 2020 vision.

  • Come on, we only had a couple more days

  • to make that joke this year.

  • Please forgive us, please?

  • Oh, I'm sorry.

  • But what do you folks think?

  • What's your most anticipated new show of 2020?

  • What returning show are you most excited for?

  • And how many of you still openly weep

  • when you realize 2020 is the year of "Picard"?

  • BComp?

  • - [BComp] That's right, I do.

  • - Let's discuss.

  • Thanks for watching.
