While the actual start of the current Golden Age of Television is up for debate, there's no doubting that as a medium, television has come into its own in the past decade or so.
It may be rather difficult to , but there was a time when television was seen as a lower artistic medium, a dumping ground for entertainment not good enough to make it to the big screen.
However, updates in technology and the way we consume media changed the game and nowadays some of our best dramas, thrillers and comedies emanate from the small screen.
Some critics have called our era "peak TV," which not only remarks on the quality of the shows but also the sheer amount of it, possibly resulting in your average viewer being overwhelmed by choice.
Of course, you don't need us to tell you this as your personal "Must Watch" list is likely a terrifying length already and getting longer by the day.
Well, looking at the schedules for the rest of this year going into next year, we can say with some degree of certainty that this "problem" isn't going to go away any time soon.
While there are some incredible hit shows like Game of Thrones scheduled to return in the foreseeable future, there's also a whole slew of new shows fighting for your eyeballs' attention.
Whether they'll prove to be just as bingeworthy will be left up to fate, but it's hard to not be excited about some of the projects lined up for our consumption.
Without further ado, here are the 10 TV Shows Coming Out This Year (And 10 Coming In 2019).
Castle Rock (2018)
If you know anything about Stephen King, you'll know that a bunch of his stories take place in Maine. So it makes all kinds of sense that the new horror series Castle Rock is set there too.
The series looks to be like the adult version of the Goosebumps movie, featuring some of King's awesome creations.
Castle Rock already has an impressive roster of actors with Andre Holland, Bill Skarsgard, Scott Glenn, Melanie Lynskey, Sissy Spacek, Jane Levy, and Terry O'Quinn all being part of the main cast.
The teaser trailer already contained references to some of Stephen King's most iconic works like It, The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, and Salem's Lot, so hopes are high that Castle Rock manages to do them justice.
The series drops on Hulu on July 25th.
Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists (2019)
When the super-popular Pretty Little Liars ended last year, fans were left with a PLL-shaped hole in their lives.
That is until spin-off show Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists was announced to be in development at Freeform.
The Perfectionists brings back some of the main cast from the original show, including Sasha Pieterse as Alison and Janel Parrish as Mona, and is based on the novel of the same name (minus the prefix) by series author Sara Shepard.
A Pretty Little Liars spin-off has been attempted before.
In 2013, sidequel series Ravenswood debuted. Although it received fairly decent reviews, it failed to find an audience and ABC Family cancelled the series due to low ratings.
Freeform are obviously hoping for more from The Perfectionists and have ordered a ten episode first season of the series, due sometime in 2019.
Disenchantment (2018)
As Matt Groening is responsible for perhaps two of the greatest animated shows ever, it's fair to say that the hype for his new show Disenchantment is real.
While some may lament Futurama's cancellation or The Simpsons' massive decline in quality, Disenchantment comes straight out of the gate with fresh characters and ideas.
The show features the hard drinking princess Bean (Abbi Jacobson) and her adventures in medieval realm Dreamland with her companions Elfo (Nat Faxon) and demon Luci (Eric Andre).
Plot details are scarce, but according to Groening, the series will be about life, love and "how to keep laughing in a world full of suffering and idiots, despite what the elders and wizards and other jerks tell you." Sign us up.
The ten episodes of the series will drop on Netflix on 17th August.
Blood & Treasure (2019)
CBS recently announced Blood & Treasure, an action-adventure series slated for a summer 2019 premiere.
According to the press release, the show will center on an antiquities expert (Matt Barr) who is forced to work with an art thief (Sofia Pernas) to take down a global criminal who is funding his nefarious deeds through stolen treasure.
The series is produced and directed by Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb.
Not much is known outside of the cast list and short synopsis, but a weekly treasure hunting mystery show could be fun.
Quite where it will rank in of the Indiana Joneses, Tomb Raiders, and Uncharteds of the world remains to be seen, but we'll find out for certain next summer.
Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (2018)
John Krasinski has some big shoes to fill. The actor, soon to be seen starring as Jack Ryan in Amazon's new series of the same name, will be the fifth person to play the Tom Clancy character.
From what we've seen so far, it looks like he's going to do a fine job.
While the series is an original story, it certainly takes inspiration from the books and movies, especially the ones starring Harrison Ford.
Show director Daniel Sackheim said that he wanted to get back to Ford's "everyman" appeal- someone who is relatable and vulnerable but still a hero.
Considering the fact that they've got Jim Halpert from The Office as their lead, we'd say they've nailed it.
Jack Ryan debuts on August 31st on Amazon.
Godfather of Harlem (2019)
Lovers of prestige crime dramas may want to turn their attention to Epix next year. Written and executive produced by Narcos co-creator Chris Brancato, Godfather of Harlem will star Forest Whitaker as real-life crime boss Bumpy Johnson.
The series will chart Johnson's attempt to gain control back of his neighborhood after a lengthy stay in prison. Expect mob wars and massive social change against the backdrop of 1960s America.
Forest Whitaker is a great choice for the role of the infamous mob boss and Godfather of Harlem could shape up to be a seriously compelling piece of drama.
The series is starting strong straight out of the gate with Oscar-winning writer/director John Ridley, best known for his 12 Years a Slave screenplay, will be directing the first episode.
The show will debut on Epix at some point in 2019.
The Innocents (2018)
The Innocents is a British supernatural thriller series set to debut on Netflix. The series has cast of fresh-faced relative unknowns, although it does have one big name in the form of the awesome Guy Pearce.
According to the official synopsis, The Innocents is about teenagers Harry and June, who "run away from their repressive family lives to be together."
It goes on to describe the teens as having an "extraordinary gift" that "unleashes powerful forces intent on dividing them forever."
While this isn't much to go on, the series looks super stylish and could be the dark horse in Netflix's 2018 lineup.
If dark supernatural love stories are your thing, you could probably do a lot worse than The Innocents.
The debut series hits Netflix on August 24th.
Doom Patrol (2019)
It seems like the Teen Titans aren't the only superhero team to be making their way to the small screen.
DC must be confident in Titans as they've already announced the spin-off, Doom Patrol, before the first season has even aired.
They're wasting little time in connecting the two shows, with the fifth episode of Titans, set to introduce the Doom Patrol to the wider DC universe.
There's even less to go on than with Titans, but at least we have some cast news from the project and know what form the team will take.
Bruno Bichir will play Dr. Niles Caulder aka The Chief, April Bowlby will be Elasti-Girl, Jake Michaels as Robotman and Dwain Murphy as Negative Man. Supernatural writer Jeremy Carver will pen the series.
It is due on the DC Universe service in 2019.
Charmed (2018)
Get ready to feel the Power of Three once again, as Charmed is getting rebooted.
The original supernatural fantasy show ran for eight seasons and gained a significant cult following in that time. According to The CW, the new Charmed will be "a fierce, funny feminist reboot."
The reaction to this news has been mixed amongst the hardcore Charmed fanbase, with many disappointed with the series' decision to reboot with an all-new cast.
CW president Mark Pedowitz responded to the #StopCharmedReboot fan backlash by saying "Hopefully they would give this new cast a chance. It is not quite the same yet there are many similarities ... I can only say to fans, before you make a decision, watch the series."
Charmed hits screens on October 14th.
Pennyworth (2019)
Batman wouldn't be nearly as good as he is without the loyalty and assistance of Wayne family butler Alfred Pennyworth.
Considering the popularity of the Dark Knight, it should probably come as no surprise that TV studios would take notice of Gotham's success and try to capitalize.
Epix wanted a slice of the Bat money pie too and ordered Pennyworth, a prequel series set in 1960's London and based around Alfred Pennyworth in his pre-butlering days when he was a secret service military hero and set up his own security company.
Gotham head honchos Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon are in the frame to bring the series to Epix.
It is slated for the standard and annoyingly vague release date of 2019.
