25 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2019

5. Devs

Alex Garland
A24 Films

Who: Alex Garland (creator), Sonoyo Mizuno, Nick Offerman

What: A young computer engineer, Lily Chan, investigates the secretive development division of her employer, a cutting-edge tech company based in San Francisco, who she believes are behind the murder of her boyfriend

Why: The high-concept premise is enticing enough, with vibes of Ex-Machina even before you get to the fact that they share Alex Garland as the brains behind both (and the superb Mizuno among the cast). Having been responsible for two of the most thought-provoking, challenging, and simply brilliant sci-fi films of the decade, there's reason to have a lot of faith in Garland here, especially working with a network known for giving their talent plenty of creative freedom.

Where & When: FX, fall.

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.
