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

2. Homecoming (Amazon)

Based on the Gimlet Media podcast of the same name, Homecoming will star Julia Roberts - in her first TV lead role - as Heidi Bergman, a caseworker at the Homecoming Transitional Support Centre, which helps soldiers transition back into civilian life.

One such soldier is Walter Cruz (Stephen James), who is eager to have a fresh start in life, while Heid’s work is overseen by the ambitious and demanding Colin Belfast (Bobby Cannavale).

Four years later, Heidi has a new life of her own, before the Department of Defence finds her and starts asking why she left the facility, forcing her to confront the truths she’s been hiding from.

Billed as a psychological thriller, the series comes from Mr Robot creator Sam Esmail, which means we can expect some thrilling direction and twisty writing. Just as interesting (and exciting) is that, while it’s a drama, the 10 episodes are only going to be half-an-hour in length. Hopefully more shows will follow its lead.
