25 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2018

6. Homecoming

Valentine's Day Julia Roberts
New Line Cinema

Who? Sam Esmail (creator); Julia Roberts, Stephan James, Bobby Cannavale.

What? A psychological thriller about a caseworker (Roberts) at a secret government facility and a solider (James) who wants to rejoin civilian life.

Why? Sam Esmail has created one of the most interesting series of the last few years with Mr Robot, especially from a visual point-of-view, and there's reason to believe he'll bring something to this (he's writing and directing too). Roberts is a huge coup for an Amazon series, and should deliver the sort of stellar work we saw last year from fellow A-listers like Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon, and the premise is suitably vague and mysterious to garner interest.

When & Where? TBC, Amazon.
