Here is your guide to the biggest releases across all platforms for the rest of the year.

Spring 2025

Andor Season 2 (Disney Plus, April 22) is the most anticipated premiere of the spring. Tony Gilroy’s Star Wars espionage thriller returns for its final season covering the four years before Rogue One. Diego Luna and Stellan Skarsgard lead twelve episodes structured as four three-episode arcs.

The Last of Us Season 2 (HBO / Max, April) continues the adaptation of the acclaimed video game with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey returning for a story that fans of the game know will be emotionally devastating. The second game’s narrative is more ambitious and morally complex than the first.

Stranger Things Season 5 (Netflix, late spring) brings the final chapter of the Hawkins saga. The Duffer Brothers have promised a conclusion that honors the characters and mythology built across the previous four seasons. Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, and the entire ensemble return.

Summer 2025

The Boys Season 5 (Amazon Prime Video) concludes Eric Kripke’s superhero satire with Butcher and Homelander’s final confrontation. Antony Starr and Karl Urban have delivered some of television’s most compelling adversarial performances, and the final season promises to hold nothing back.

Wednesday Season 2 (Netflix, August) returned Jenna Ortega to Nevermore Academy with new cast members including Steve Buscemi and Lady Gaga. The season split into two parts maintained audience engagement across the summer.

House of the Dragon Season 3 (HBO / Max) continues the Targaryen civil war with the Dance of the Dragons entering its most destructive phase. Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy, and Olivia Cooke return for what promises to be the most battle-heavy season yet.

Fall 2025

Yellowjackets Season 3 (Paramount Plus) returns to the dual-timeline survival thriller about a high school soccer team stranded in the wilderness and their adult selves covering up what happened. The show’s blend of horror, mystery, and character drama makes it one of the most distinctive shows on streaming.

Daredevil: Born Again (Disney Plus) brings Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk back for a new series that promises to be darker and more grounded than previous Marvel Disney Plus shows.

Severance Season 3 (Apple TV Plus, anticipated fall) would continue the Lumon Industries mystery if Apple follows the current production timeline. The show’s second season ended with major revelations that demand continuation.

Winter 2025

Squid Game Season 3 (Netflix) concludes the global phenomenon with the final chapter of Gi-hun’s story. The Korean thriller became the most-watched Netflix series in the platform’s history, and expectations for the finale are enormous.

The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6 (Hulu) brings the final season of the dystopian drama that defined Hulu’s original programming identity. Elisabeth Moss’s Offred reaches the conclusion of a story that began in 2017.

New Series to Watch

Beyond returning shows, 2025 brings several new series from major creators. Keep an eye on new projects from prestige showrunners and A-list talent that are announced throughout the year. The streaming platforms continue investing in original content that pushes creative boundaries.

How to Track Releases

With releases spread across a dozen platforms, keeping track of premiere dates requires some effort. Follow the social media accounts of platforms you subscribe to, check entertainment news sites for weekly premiere roundups, and use apps like TV Time or JustWatch that aggregate release calendars across all streaming services.

The most effective approach is maintaining a personal watchlist on each platform you subscribe to, adding shows as they are announced rather than trying to remember what interested you when premiere day arrives.
