As the year 2024 draws to a close, the Hitek editorial team is already looking to the future. After horror films, after Marvel productions, here are the 15 series we are most looking forward to in 2025 on our small screen:
15) The White Lotus
Created in 2021 by Mike White, The White Lotus met, in only two seasonsa huge success. Drama comedy set in a seaside resort, the HBO series mixes social satire, drama and mystery. It follows the interactions between wealthy guests and staff at luxury resorts belonging to the fictional chain “The White Lotus”. Each season explores themes of social inequality, privilege, power dynamics and human relationships, while introducing a mysterious plot linked to a death announced at the start. For its third chapter, The White Lotus sets course for the Thailand. On the casting side, we will find in particular Carrie Coon, Aime Lou Wood or the Canadian actress Charlotte Le Bon.
14) Valid – saison 3
Initially, Franck Gastambide did not want to return to the universe of Valid. Except that since the end of season 2, the filmmaker has had one set of failures. Medellin was a huge critical and commercial failureand his latest series, The Cagewas not unanimous either. The animal trainer who became an actor then a director therefore returns to one of his real successes: the series Valid. But be careful nonetheless, because the filmmaker is expected around the corner. If the first season, with From was a real success, the second, led by Laetitia Karfa had greatly disappointed the fans. We would like to give you another chance Franck, but be careful, we are watching you.
13) Wednesday – saison 2
Produced by Tim Burtonthe first season, released in 2022, was able to find its audience. The filmmaker managed to breathe its gothic, dark and offbeat style in a show that was able to count on a first-class cast. Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones et Luis Guzman managed to establish themselves in their respective roles while respecting the previous incarnations of the films of Barry Sonnenfeld . And then, see again Christina Ricci was a real pleasure. And then, season 2 will strengthen its workforce since Steve Buscemi, Lady Gaga et Christopher Lloyd join the cast!
12) Welcome to Derry
After the enormous success of the diptych CaGrippe-Sous will return to terrorize the inhabitants of Derry and the spectators in a prequel spin-off series. Andrés Muschiettithe director of both films, is back to supervise this show which will take place in the 1960s. 9 episodeswhich will mark the return of Bill Skarsgard in the skin of demonic clown. We'll meet again in 2025 on Amazon Prime.
11) The Last of Us – saison 2
Released in 2023 on HBO Maxthe first season of The Last of Us made everyone agree. It is therefore logical that we impatiently await the continuation of the adventures of Joel and Ellie. Hoping that this season 2 is still as well balanced: between action, horror, emotion, intimacy and homage to video games.
10) Malcolm – saison 8

It's a little gift for the end of the year. The famous series Malcolm will be entitled to a whole new season. Of 2000 to 2006this family series was a huge success. Funny, touching, acerbic but also cute, the series has brought joy to an entire generation. Above all, the show made it possible to reveal to the world the immense Bryan Cranstonunforgettable in the skin of Hal. The revival of cult series from the early 2000s is a currently fashionable process. After Scubs, Dexter or even Prison Breakit's the turn of Malcolm to pass under the Hollywood reel.

For the moment, Bryan Cranston (Hal), Frankie Muniz (Malcolm) and Jane Kaczmarek (Lois) confirmed their return. As for the others, we will have to wait a little longer to have their confirmation. In any case, we can already hear the famous theme song Malcolm in the Middle reason in our minds…
9) A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms : The Hedge Knight
Certainly, HBO Max doesn't seem to want to let go of the goose that lays the golden eggs. After Game of Thrones et House of Dragonswe return in 2025 to the universe of George R. R. Martin. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms : The Hedge Knight will take place 100 years ago Game of Thrones and 72 years later House of Dragons. The show will follow the journey of Ser Duncan the Great and his squire Egg, in a universe still dominated by the Targaryen family. On paper, why not, but be careful that the universe of GOT does not turn out like that of The Walking Deadwith ever more spin-offs to the point of ultimate weariness.
8) Lanterns
No bad pun intended, all cursors are green. Already, we have blind confidence in James Gunn. The one who directed the trilogy of Guardians of the Galaxy has always been able to prove his know-how for the genre superheroic whether on the big or small screen. Since he was appointed head of DC Filmsthings seem to be taking a reassuring turn. It officially launched the DCU with the excellent animated series Creature Commandosand reminded everyone, in just a few episodes, who was boss. In addition to Superman, the year 2025 will also introduce DC Comics fans to the series Lanterns. Centered on Hal Jordan et John Stewarttwo famous Lanterns, the show is headed by the immense Damon Lindelof. The latter is nothing less than the screenwriter of Lostof The Leftovers and the excellent series Watchmen !
7) Asterix and Obelix: The Battle of the Bosses
Animated series produced by Netflix, Asterix and Obelix: The Battle of the Bosses is eagerly awaited by fans of the Gallic because it marks the return of Alain Chabat. 25 years after the immense Asterix and Obelix: Mission CleopatraAlain Chabat places his comic and creative genius at the service of the two Gauls. The first trailer is already hilarious and explosive, and we can't wait to discover this adaptation of the famous eponymous comic strip by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo released in 1966.
6) Black Mirror – saison 7
The famous series of Charlie Brooker will make its return in 2025 on Netflix. For this new tour of the track, Paul Giamatti, Awkwafina or even Issa Rae have already been announced for casting. Cult anthology and anticipation series, each new season of Black Mirror is a small phenomenon. In addition, this saison 7 will also tell us the continuation of the adventures of Robert Daly, the character played by Jesse Plemons in episode 1 of season 4, a sort of uncomfortable parody of Star Trek.
5) Blade Runner 2099
After Blude Runner 2049 of Denis Villeneuvethe immense classic of Ridley Scott will have a new variation. Taken by Michelle Yeohthis series will be set fifty years after the events of Blade Runner 2049. No information on the synopsis has been revealed, but the show will be released in 2025 on Amazon Prime. In any case, if this series is at least as good as the two films, we'll sign straight!
4) Andor – saison 2
Because Andor is simply the best series Star Wars en live action. Directed by Tony Gilroythe show, led by Diego Lunahad managed to regain the dark and mature tone of Rogue One. Andor was a very well written, perfectly executed series, which allowed fans to take fans of the universe Star Wars towards truly refreshing horizons. We hope that the season 2 will live up to the first.
3) Daredevil : Born Again
This is undoubtedly the revival that fans of the universe Marvel most expect. This series will finally tell the continuation of the adventures of Marvel’s Daredevil7 years after its sudden stop on Netflix.

We can't wait to find out what the MCU will make this excellent superheroic series.
2) Alien : Earth
Already, because Alien : Romulus gave us confidence again. Disney is, it seems, capable of managing such an iconic license. Cult horror sagawe can't wait to discover the very first series Alien. Already because we love this emblematic license created in 1979 by Ridley Scottand then because it is Noah Hawley the showrunner. And Noah Hawley already has a well-stocked track record with Bones, the series Fargo, and especially the excellent series Legion, maybe just the best superhero series of all time!
1) Stranger Things – saison 5
Fifth and final season of Stranger Thingsthis new chapter is awaited as Grail. Phenomenon series Netflix, intelligent proposal which borrows from 1980s cinemain horror cinema and in the cinema of Steven Spielberg, Stranger Things was able to create a solid fan base.
