25 Most Hotly Anticipated New TV Shows Of 2020

Premiering in late Spring 2020 as a mid-season replacement on Fox, neXt may have a deeply obnoxious title, but it’s got promise.

Billed as a science-fiction crime drama, it follows a Homeland Cybersecurity team in a battle of wits with an ever-evolving artificial intelligence. The premise is a little like CSI meets Person Of Interest, but the showrunner is Manny Coto, one of the smartest writers on television, so it’s a dead cert that it’ll have legs beyond that initial one-line pitch.

The cast are uniformly great, and the trailer seems to be distinctly shy of sci-fi trappings - in fact, it looks a lot more 'Black Mirror', as though it could potentially happen tomorrow, which gives it a feeling of urgency that a basic sci-fi, machines-will-eat-us narrative can’t match.
