15 Upcoming New HBO TV Shows To Be Excited About

8. The Nevers

Age of Ultron Joss Whedon
Marvel

After dalliances with both Marvel and DC, Joss Whedon is returning to the medium that made him famous (and where he did most of his best work) with his first original series since 2009's Dollhouse.

Whedon, who'll write, direct, and serve as showrunner, has called this "maybe the most ambitious narrative I’ve created." It does, however, have some common ground with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in that the focus will be on a group of female characters.

Described as "an epic science-fiction drama", The Nevers will tell the story of a gang of Victorian women who possess special abilities, and must use them to face down a horde of enemies and save the world (a lot).

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
