The fast-approaching year 2025 will be an opportunity for many cult series to celebrate their 20th anniversary. If you grew up with the shows that first aired in 2005, then this list, curated by Serieously, will, without a doubt, make you nostalgic for that period!
Summary : seven programs which will celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2025
Kaamelott
On January 3, 2025, Kaamelott will celebrate its twentieth anniversary. Broadcast for the first time in January 2005, the French series continues, even today, to conquer the hearts of millions of viewers across France. In 2021, fans of this rewriting of the Arthurian legend were very happy to discover the spin-off of the series with the feature film of the same name, directed by Alexandre Astier. The second opus, filming for which was recently completed, will soon arrive in theaters.
How I Met Your Mother
Just like Kaamelott, How I Met Your Mother also broadcast its pilot in 2005, on September 19 to be precise, on the American channel CBS. Yes, it wouldn't seem like that much, but It will soon be 20 years since Ted Mosby met Robin Scherbatsky in a bar and Marshall Eriksen proposed to Lily Aldrin. As for Barney Stinson, in September 2025, he will have been entertaining the gallery and making sitcom admirers laugh for no less than twenty years!
Prison Break
During the summer of 2025, Prison Break will celebrate its 20th anniversary. Thanks to its multiple rebroadcasts on television, the drama carried by Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell is today considered cult, at the same stage as Breaking Bad, Mad Men or even Listening. Years after its release, we still remember the credits, which ring in our ears day and night…
Grey’s Anatomy
Unlike the other programs mentioned so far, Grey’s Anatomy is still in progress. The first episode of the medical series was broadcast in the United States in March 2005, almost 20 years ago. In France, it was in 2006 on TF1 that the show appeared on our screens. Since 2022, Shonda Rhimes' creation has been offered in the Disney+ catalog.
Supernatural
In 2005, audiences around the world were introduced to brothers Sam and Dean Winchester in Supernatural. The horror and fantasy series bowed out in 2020, after 15 seasons and 327 episodes. Just that! Its epic grand finale will remain in the memories of spectators, but perhaps not for the right reasons… When it was broadcast, the conclusion disappointed many fanswho did not hesitate to express their dissatisfaction on social networks.
Ghost Whisperer
For 5 years, Jennifer Love Hewitt played Melinda Gordona woman with the gift of being able to see and speak to ghosts, in Ghost Whisperer. The actress was, in fact, already a familiar face, but it was really by playing in the paranormal series that the actress made her mark. In September 2025, the cast will celebrate 20 years of the program. For big fans of the performer, know that she is starring in the series 9-1-1 since 2018, in which she plays Maddie Buckley, an emergency number operator in the United States.
The Office
The American version of The Office – which many spectators believe to be the original – will celebrate its 20th anniversary in March 2025. The sitcom starring Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner and Phyllis Smith is one of the most iconic and funny in the history of the small screen. A reboot of the series is currently in preparation by Peacock and should arrive on screens soon.
