Summer TV: Our favourite shows are dropping big new seasons in 2025. So start that re-watch NOW!

It’s that weird week between Christmas and New Year, where time stands still and no one knows what day it is — what better time to settle down in front of the TV? There are some MASSIVE shows dropping new seasons in 2025, so whether it’s a re-watch or a first-time binge, these are the shows you need to be diving into with the aircon on blast. Ready, set … watch! The Night Agent (Netflix) If high octane TV’s your thing — this one’s for you. This show’s first season, starring Gabriel Basso as FBI agent Peter Sutherland, is one of Netflix’s most-watched, so it stood to reason they’d give the nod for more. Season two is headed our way on January 23, and sees Sutherland, the basement-dwelling operative, back fighting his way out of yet more explosive situations. Good news for fans: a third season has also been greenlit. Bring. It. On. The White Lotus (Binge) Cue the music! Ahead of the third instalment of Mike White’s addictively twisty-turny drama, why not take a trip back to The White Lotus resort and reacquaint yourself with the show the whole world is talking about? Season three, coming to Binge on Feb 17, will be set in Thailand, but previous outings have seen guests checking into branches of the resort in Hawaii (season one) and Sicily (season two) — wanderlust-inducing murder mysteries never looked so good. Suits (Netflix) Are you one of four people left in the world who STILL hasn’t seen this legal drama (guilty!)? Now’s your chance to catch up! All seasons are streaming on Netflix, and there’s a new spin-off titled Suits: L.A. on the way mid-Feb, coming to 7plus — so get up to speed! This one is all about a bunch of lawyers living and working in Los Angeles, and if there’s one thing that town has in abundance, it’s men in suits. Something tells us there will be plenty of fodder for storylines. Can’t wait. Severance (Apple TV Plus) This edge-of-your-seat thriller was confusing enough the first time around. Add the two years since it first went to air, and going back to the start for a re-watch seems almost compulsory before its long-awaited second season drops on Jan 17. Ben Stiller’s workplace drama is one of the best things on TV, and worth signing up to Apple TV for. Here’s hoping the second season gives us some answers — what ARE they all doing in that basement at Lumon? We need to know, dammit! The Last Of Us (Binge) Who knew a series based on a video game could be so good? Not this critic, who is still of the opinion that this drama, starring Pedro Pascal as a man shepherding a young girl across a zombie-plagued post-apocalyptic hellscape, is one of the best things to hit TV this past decade. Season two will be based on the game’s second instalment and will feature a time jump, with Bella Ramsey’s character now 19 rather than 14. This one will be big. Game Of Thrones (Binge) Any excuse for a back-to-the-beginning re-watch, right? With news that yet another prequel series is about to drop — this one’s called A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, and is set 100 years before House Of The Dragon — what better time to take a trip back to Westeros to see where our obsession first began. With 73 episodes and eight seasons, you’ll have plenty to keep you occupied while the rest of the family fight it out over leftovers. Dracarys — that Christmas pud is ours! Andor (Disney Plus) Look, let’s be real here: not all the Star Wars spin-offs have been successful (we’re looking at YOU The Acolyte). But Andor is a legitimately good show — the fact it chronicles the events leading up to that Rogue One film is by the by. With a second season on the way on April 22, now is a great chance to re-watch that flick, plus season one, which followed the exploits of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) over a single year — the second will span a four-year time period. Stranger Things (Netflix) This is a good one to watch with the teens in your family — especially as its much-anticipated fifth and final season is rumoured to be hitting screens in 2025. Production has just wrapped, with all the young cast now looking markedly different to when they first began filming in 2015 — they’re all now adults! Tune in for a re-watch and marvel at the passing of time and the fleeting nature of youth. The Handmaid’s Tale (Stan) There’s a new season on the way this Autumn (it’s coming back to SBS), so now’s a good time to reacquaint yourself with this quietly terrifying series. For those that checked out early (we don’t blame you, this dystopian drama felt a little too real at times), it’s worth another look. Because those of us who stuck around know this continues to be one of the best shows on TV — and never more prescient. This is the final season, so strap in. The Bear (Disney Plus) The last season left us on one heck of a cliffhanger — was Carmy’s (Jeremy Allen White) restaurant a success with that food critic? Or as bad as the increasingly paranoid head chef suspected? Either way, we’ll be tuning in when this show returns (it’s expected around June), and giving this superb drama another re-watch in the run-up. Hot tip: make yourself feel better about your own disastrous Christmas by watching THAT festive episode with Jamie Lee Curtis — you’re welcome. Euphoria (Binge) Hang on, hasn’t this show finished up now its main stars are Hollywood A-listers? Actually no, though it is taking an ETERNITY for the much-anticipated third season to hit screens. This edgy drama, featuring career-defining performances from Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney, will begin filming again in January, with rumours swirling there will be a time jump between this new season and the last. Time for a refresher! Wednesday (Netflix) This show is also a teen drama, though it sits at the other end of the scale to Euphoria. It’s rare to find something the whole family can get amongst, but this is a great one to watch with the teens in your household — though don’t try to compare it to the original Addams Family series. It’s not known when season two will drop, but if this one passed you by the first time around, now’s the perfect chance to dive in.
