As the entertainment industry rebounds from the impactful dual strikes that paused production for several months last year, a transformed television landscape awaits audiences. The strikes not only disrupted production schedules but also highlighted the ongoing clash between legacy media and Silicon Valley companies. The recent buzz about a possible merger between Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global adds to the uncertainties reshaping the industry’s future.

However, despite the upheavals, the TV calendar for 2024 promises an intense lineup. The strikes’ aftermath pushed numerous shows slated for fall 2023 premieres into the new year, resulting in an overwhelming January schedule.

Moreover, network TV programs are adjusting their release windows, with ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” and NBC’s “One Chicago” lineup rolling out in the early months. The impact of this shift on established network shows remains uncertain.

While this preview includes 10 shows, the streaming age’s trend of withholding premiere dates continues. Notably, Netflix holds numerous high-profile projects without specific dates, including the final seasons of “Cobra Kai” and “Umbrella Academy,” among others. HBO and Max boast eagerly anticipated undated shows such as Robert Downey Jr.’s “The Sympathizer” and “Dune: Prophecy.”

Apple TV+ is also gearing up with shows like Blake Crouch’s “Dark Matter” and “Lady in the Lake” starring Natalie Portman. However, dates for these releases remain elusive, as do dates for Hulu’s “We Were the Lucky Ones” and Disney+’s “The Acolyte” and “X-Men ’97.”

Beyond these industry giants, AMC prepares for “Orphan Black: Echoes” and Showtime gears up for “Gentleman in Moscow” featuring Ewan McGregor.

For those finally announcing dates, here’s a sneak peek into what’s in store:
