If watching brand-new TV shows happens to be your favorite pastime, you’ll have your hands full this spring. The world’s leading networks and streaming services gave us a wide range of new series in the past few weeks, and here are a few that everyone’s raving about.

Cruel Summer

If you’re a sucker for a good teen drama with elements of mystery, make sure to put Cruel Summer on your watch list. It centers on a popular teen who goes missing without a trace, only to find out an awkward, shy girl tried to take her place before she was found alive.

Shadow and Bone

Netflix’s latest smash hit is based on the popular fantasy series by Leigh Bardugo. It centers on an orphan cartographer Alina Starkov, whose world turns upside down after learning she possesses extraordinary powers that could change the fate of the world.

Mare of Easttown

Kate Winslet delivers one of her best performances in recent memory in this HBO mini-series about a small-town detective trying to solve a murder that tore her local community apart.

Them

Often compared to Jordan Peele’s hit horror film Us, this horror series focuses on a Black family facing mysterious evil forces after moving to an all-white neighborhood in Los Angeles.
