25 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2019

18. Black Monday

Black Monday
Showtime

Who: David Caspe, Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (executive producers); Don Cheadle, Regina King, Andrew Rannells

What: A telling of the story behind Black Monday, the worst Wall Street stock market crash in history. No one knows who caused it... until now.

Why: With a powerhouse trio at its centre, Black Monday has all the makings of being TV's answer to The Wolf of Wall Street. There's something fascinatingly horrible about these kinds of stories and their larger than life characters, and that goes double when you add in a tagline including "a group of outsiders took on the blue-blood, old-boys club of Wall Street and ended up crashing the world’s largest financial system, a Lamborghini limousine, Don Henley’s birthday party and the glass ceiling."

Where & When: Showtime, January 20.
