2025 has a lot of TV coming and the networks have a few shows to get excited for!
These days, most of the better TV shows are on streaming and cable rather than network. The regular networks have had a few successes, yet cable and streaming are more dominant. That's not to say the networks have nothing coming as this year, we will see a few new shows that can get attention!
Here's a look at a few network shows that can get attention and still make 2025 good for network viewers!
Doc (Fox, January 7)
This new Fox drama has Molly Parker as Amy Larsen, a surgeon who awakens from a car crash with amnesia so she's forgotten everything from 2016. She's thus rocked to learn her son died, which ended her marriage and turned her into a cold woman who created a hostile work environment.
As she attempts to get back to work, Amy has to deal with a boyfriend she has no memory of meeting while still thinking she's in love with her ex-husband, win back the trust of her staff and learn more about herself along the way. This fresh start adds more fun to an already intriguing concept as this show hopefully can be a surprise success.
Shifting Gears (ABC, January 8)
Tim Allen's return to the TV sitcom format is a big deal as the actor retains a loyal following. This show is right up his alley as he plays a single dad who's content running his garage business and hanging out with buddies. His life is thrown off-kilter when his divorced daughter (Kat Dennings) and her kids move in with him.
Allen and Dennings look like they have good chemistry, and this fits into the typical ABC sitcom format, making it a good entry for comedy fans.
Watson (CBS, January 26)
Here's a new take on the Sherlock Holmes mythos in that Holmes is already dead. Now, his partner, John Watson (Morris Chestnut), is moving on with his life working at a clinic. He specializes in strange medical cases, using the lessons Holmes taught him in how to solve mysteries that baffle others.
However, when the evil Moriarty pops up, Watson has to handle a new danger. This should be a fun mix of mystery and medical procedurals and could supply CBS with a surprise hit.
The series will air after the AFC Championship Game at first, and then move to the 9/8c timeslot on Sundays.
Suits: LA (NBC, February 23)
Five years after Suits went off the air and later became a Netflix sensation, Suits is back. This spin-off stars Stephen Amell as a former prosecutor working for an L.A. firm handling high-powered cases.
We will get connections to the original story with Gabriel Macht reprising his role as Harvey Specter. There is a question of how this show will work without the originals' concept and stars, but it still has the name power of Suits, and the push should make this a big success.
Grosse Pointe Garden Society (NBC, February 23)
This new NBC series looks to have the vibe of shows like Desperate Housewives. It examines the ladies of a suburban garden society who are bound by a strange murder and more secrets abounding.
The cast is terrific, with AnnaSophia Robb, Melissa Fumero, Aja Naomi King, Ben Rappaport, Nancy Travis, and more. It looks to have a nice, wicked edge to it, and the unique mysteries could make this a cult success for NBC's slate and a nice watch on Sunday nights.
Sherlock's Daughter (CW, TBA)
Likely to hit the CW later in the spring, this British series puts yet another spin on the Sherlock Holmes mythos. David Thewlis plays the famed sleuth who's battling archfoe Moriarty (Dougray Scott).
The search takes him to America, where he meets Amelia (Blu Hunt), who believes she's Sherlock's daughter. While they see if it's true, they also work together against Moriarty. This can be a fun adventure show with a compelling cast and make for a nice summer watch for the CW and Holmes buffs alike.
