30 TV Shows That Will Kick-Ass In 2018

4. The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs

The Coen Brothers Hail Caesar
Working Title

A Western anthology series, with each episode exploring a different story set in the American frontier, sounds like a solid idea.

Add in Tim Blake Nelson as the titular Scruggs, a singing cowboy who provides the link between the six planned instalments, along with a cast including Liam Neeson, Brendan Gleeson, James Franco, and Zoe Kazan, and things get even better.

Oh, and it's written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. It marks the first foray into television for the Coens, who've put their own incredible spins on the Western before now with No Country For Old Men and True Grit, and it'll be really exciting to see what they come up with for Netflix.

Air Date: TBC
