17 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Still To Come In 2018

9. Ratched (Netflix)

There's a reason Netflix signed Ryan Murphy to a five-year, $300m(!) deal: he makes hit TV shows that win awards and get people talking. His first show for the streaming service looks set to be Ratched, which he'll produce and direct (at least the first episode) and has been created by Evan Romansky.

Even better for Murphy fans is that it'll reunite him with frequent collaborator - and one of the best actresses on the small screen - Sarah Paulson, who'll be taking on the role of Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

Beginning in 1947, the series will chart how Ratched turned from a nurse into a complete and utter monster. The Nurse Ratched audiences know is a vicious, despicable, and morally bankrupt character, so there's a potentially fascinating downfall to be witnessed here.
