Of course we'll have plenty of big returning awards-centric shows—The Last of Us, Hacks, Poker Face, The Bear, Severance and The White Lotus, to name just a few— but what are the brand new shows we have yet to see?
You've likely already been watching Hulu's twisty new show Paradise, which reunites Sterling K. Brown with This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman, Max's The Pitt is bringing back the medical drama in a big way, CBS Kathy Bates-starrer Matlock is one to watch that's already renewed for Season 2, as is Netflix's smash hit Nobody Wants This… these new shows already made their debut. But with a tidal wave of TV still to come, here are ten hotly-anticipated brand new scripted shows set for spring, in order of release date:

Created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, who also stars as the boy's father Eddie Miller, this limited series is directed by Philip Barantini, who previously made the BAFTA-nominated one-shot show Boiling Point with Graham. Ashley Walters (Top Boy) stars as lead investigating officer DI Luke Bascombe, along with Erin Doherty (The Crown) as Briony Ariston, the clinical psychologist assigned to Jamie's case.

This limited series was inspired by a Wondery podcast by the true story's subject Molly Kochan and her friend Nikki Boyer.

If you watched Sherman-Palladino's 2012 show Bunheads, you know she is no stranger to a dance story, but this series takes a different approach as it dives deep into the staff and politics of two ballet companies in New York and Paris, as they attempt to stay afloat by swapping their most talented dancers.

The series is created by Fey, Lang Fisher (Never Have I Ever) and Tracey Wigfield (30 Rock), who also serve as executive producers with David Milner, Eric Gurian and Jeff Richmond.
Adapted from the thriller novel of the same name by Alafair Burke, The Better Sister stars Jessica Biel as Chloe, a well-to-do wife and mom estranged from her addiction-embattled sister Nicky (Elizabeth Banks). When Chloe's husband Adam (Corey Stoll) is murdered, Nicky reappears and convoluted relationships and family secrets are revealed. Who is really the better sister? Banks and Biel executive produce, with creators Olivia Milch (Oceans 8) and Regina Corrado (Mayor of Kingstown), Marty Adelstein, Alissa Bachner, Becky Clements, Craig Gillespe, Annie Marter and Michelle Purple.

Netflix just added a new action thriller movie featuring some brutal brawls — and it'll get your pulse racing
Netflix is home to an impressive array of action thrillers already, but action fans might have spotted that the streaming service has just dropped a brand-new release designed to get your blood pumping. As of today (June 6), Netflix is now home to a new French action thriller from director Antoine Blossier. Introducing: "K.O.," a new Netflix original that takes us to the streets of Marseille alongside a hulking MMA fighter who's come out of retirement to earn a shot at redemption. Wondering whether the streamer's newest arrival is worth your time? Well, you can find a little bit more info about "K.O." (and my initial reaction after streaming the new release) below, which should help you decide whether to stream "K.O." on Netflix or not. Antoine Blossier's "K.O." sees former MMA fighter Bastien (Ciryl Gane) being tasked with searching for a missing boy. Bastien accidentally killed one of his opponents, Enzo, in the ring. He's been a recluse ever since, though three years on from that fateful match, Enzo's widow, Emma (Anne Azoulay), tracks Bastien down and implores him to help find her teen son, Léo (Maleaume Paquin), an informant who's gone missing after witnessing a murder. Bastien sets off to do just that. En route, he joins forces with police chief Kenza (Alice Belaïdi), a woman determined to find justice after Marseilles' most violent criminals murdered her own brother. In addition to Gane, Azoulay, Paquin and Belaïdi, "K.O." also stars Foued Nabba, Samuel Jouy, Virgile Bramly and Malone Ettori. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "K.O." is a solid addition to Netflix's roster of action movies. Having checked it out myself, I don't think Netflix's new arrival is about to become anyone's all-time favorite watch, but it has enough fun up its sleeves that should satisfy action-starved viewers. Going in, I wasn't aware that Gane was a real-life MMA fighter, but that physicality is on display here. When the fists are flying, "K.O." packs in some decent thrills, and it has some surprisingly grim moments packed in courtesy of the villains. Action-wise, it might feel a little light; "John Wick," this ain't, and the story isn't anything to write home about (it's simple gangster fodder, and only exists to string the setpieces together), but the stuff we've all come to see is sufficiently exciting (especially the big clash that closes the final act). In other words, "K.O." should make for a disposable, tight 90-minute watch for anyone on the hunt for a quick dose of adrenaline this weekend (though if it's big-screen action you want, make sure you go see "Ballerina" soon, too). Need a second opinion before committing to add "K.O." to your Netflix watchlist? Well, seeing as the movie's only just hit our screens, "K.O." doesn't have a Rotten Tomatoes score to shout about at the time of writing (one may come later down the line). However, there are a couple of reactions to the movie online already. Ready Steady Cut's Jonathon Wilson says there's "only one point of a movie like this" (the action) and likens "K.O." to "Ad Vitam" and Exterritorial", describing them collectively as "barebones movies with serviceable set-pieces." Not quite sold on streaming "K.O." on Netflix? We can still help you find your next Netflix watch. Check out our guides to the best Netflix action movies and overall round-up of the best movies on Netflix for tons more streaming recommendations.

What parents need to know about ‘Ballerina,' ‘Wylde Pak' and more
Age 16+ Strong woman anchors fun but violent, bloody Wickian action. 'Ballerina' (also known as 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina') is the fifth movie in the John Wick series. It focuses on a different character, Eve (Ana de Armas), but has similarly over-the-top action. Expect lots of deaths, with blood spatter/sprays; bloody wounds; gore; characters being blown up by explosives; a severed hand; guns and shooting; crossbow bolts to the head and eye; characters getting burned by flamethrowers; intense fighting (with punching, kicking, flipping, slamming, broken limbs, eye gouging, strangling and more); and clashes with swords, axes, knives, mallets, ice skates and other improvised weapons. A character also cauterizes a wound, and someone prepares to die by suicide. Language includes occasional uses of 'f---,' 'motherf----r,' 's---,' 'bulls---,' 'Christ,' 'oh my God,' etc. People smoke cigarettes and cigars, and a character has a martini on his desk. (125 minutes) Available in theaters. Age 16+ Bloody, nonstop violence, death in animated alien film. 'Predator: Killer of Killers' is an animated film in the Predator universe based on characters created in the 1980s by Jim and John Thomas. The film is full of the franchise's usual gore, bloody violence and death, including scenes involving children as both witnesses and participants. While characters are driven by revenge, they ultimately learn to sacrifice for others and discover that vengeance doesn't bring satisfaction — nor does it bring back the dead. Gory battle scenes involve death by beheading, sword wounds (including a father who forces his daughter to help wield the fatal blow), falls, near drownings, arrows (including into eyes), amputations (a main character loses an arm, and another is sliced in half in front of a child), plane crashes, fires, explosions, being eaten and more. Entire villages are slain. The film's second half also includes regular use of strong language including 'f---,' 's---,' 'damn,' 'hell,' 'a--,' 'b----,' 'b-----d,' 'sucker' and 'anus.' (90 minutes) Available on Hulu. Age 8+ Charming series about blended family; cartoonish violence. 'Wylde Pak' is an animated series about a blended family learning to live together. Half-siblings Lily Pak (voiced by Nikki Castillo) and Jack Wylde (Benjamin Plessala) are thrown together after summer plans go awry, and they're figuring out how to share space at the family home and pet care business, Wylde Pak Groom & Board. This cute comedy has great messages about accepting change and sacrifice, as well as many nods to Korean culture, especially thanks to K-drama-loving grandmother Halmoni (Jean Yoon). There's a lot of chaos and cartoonish violence that may be too intense for younger kids: Characters careen down a dangerous waterfall, a runaway trailer zips across town, and there's lots of physical play fighting between characters. There's also a bit of romance in a K-drama that the characters watch. (26 episodes) Available on Nickelodeon. Common Sense Media helps families make smart media choices.
