It has certainly been a tumultuous year when it comes to TV shows. If you’re a fan of TV, you’ll know that this year saw a lot of changes, including a TON of cancellations of shows that many thought were bonafide hits.

However, with streaming now the main way people watch TV, the metrics have changed, and it seems that if a show doesn’t take off immediately, its fate is up for grabs, so some shows will be airing their last seasons in 2025. But there have also been some announcements about other shows getting rebooted, getting sequels, or getting spin-offs that we’ll see in the coming year. So let’s take a look at what 2025 has in store for these shows.

Reboots, Sequels, and Spin-Offs

Malcolm in the Middle

Nostalgia is real, and some shows just refuse to go away for good. But we admit that we were surprised when a new Malcolm in the Middle series was announced. The series is not so much a reboot as a sequel and brings back series stars Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek for four new episodes.

The show’s official description is: “Malcolm (Muniz) and his daughter are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek) demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.”

The Office

Another surprise was the announcement that The Office would be returning to our TVs soon. Now, The Office most of us are familiar with (the U.S. version starring Steve Carrell) was actually a remake of the British The Office series. Now, this NEW  series will be a spin-off of the U.S. series and, according to Variety, will feature a new office environment for its “documentary,” which will air on Peacock.

Here’s the official description: “The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.” The main cast will be led by Domhnall Gleeson and Sabrina Impacciatore.

King of the Hill

After 14 years of being off our TV screens, King of the Hill is returning, according to TV Line. The show’s original voice actors, Mike Judge (Hank), Kathy Najimy (Peggy), and Pamela Adlon (Bobby) will return to the revival, which TV Line also reports could air early in 2025. The premiere date of the revival has not been confirmed, but it will air on Hulu.

Although the voice of Dale, Johnny Hardwick, passed away earlier this year, he was able to complete several episodes before his demise.

Daredevil

At one point, it seemed like the Netflix Marvel shows were forgotten and long since granted non-canon status in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, Disney+ has started to bring some of those characters back into the fold, including Daredevil, who will be getting a brand new series, Daredevil: Born Again set to debut on Disney+ on March 4th.

Daredevil: Born Again will be a sequel to the Netflix Daredevil series and could set a precedent for bringing back some other characters from the Netflix Marvel shows.

Canceled Shows

The Conners

According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC decided to pick up The Conners for one final season, its seventh. This will also be the shortest season for the show with less than 10 episodes. The show was a spin-off of the Roseanne revival and has been ABC’s most-watched comedy for most of its run.

The final season of The Conners is set to air sometime in 2025.

9-1-1 Lone Star

According to Variety, 9-1-1: Lone Star will end with its upcoming fifth season on Fox. The final season will have 12 episodes — the first premiered in September with the series finale set for early 2025. The show had previously moved from ABC to Fox.

Rob Lowe starred in 9-1-1 Lone Star as “a New York firefighter who, along with his adult son, relocates from Manhattan, to Austin to rebuild a firehouse which experienced a tragedy of their own.”

Blood of Zeus

Netflix’s animated series, Blood of Zeus has also been canceled. A third and final season, however, will air on Netflix in 2025, according to Deadline. Blood of Zeus tells a story about an epic war between gods, mortals, and demons that mashes up mythology with anime.

“In Season Three, we are so excited to continue the story of Heron, Seraphim and the gods as they face their most dangerous adversaries yet, Typhon, Cronus and the Titans,” show creators Vlas Parlapanides and Charley Parlapanides said.

Of course, this doesn’t even include shows that will be just be ending in 2025, like The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu, Squid Game on Netflix (the second season premieres at the end of 2024 with a third season premiering in 2025), and Stranger Things on Netflix.
