How to survive the zombie apocalypse, repel the invasion of the White Walkers or aliens and solve the crimes of the century without leaving the couch? To do this, just turn on the desired series and plunge into the enchanting worlds of cinema. The past year has been rich in good series. To choose the most anticipated series of 2017 we turned to the popular Kinopoisk portal. The main criterion for compiling this top 10 was the rating of viewers' expectations. It includes only the novelties of the 2017 series, the most anticipated films that have not yet been shown and are a kind of "dark horses".
10. "Gypsy"
It turns out: in late summer or early autumn.
The psychotherapist (played by Naomi Watts) has a dangerous and very close relationship with his patients. The series is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, who was at the helm of Fifty Shades of Gray.
9. "Star Trek: Discovery"
It will be released in May.
It's been a long time since the famous Star Trek series ended, and even more if you prefer to forget Star Trek: Enterprise, which ratings made the TV show off the air in 2005. Despite Brian Fuller's departure as showrunner (focusing his energies on American Gods), it is hoped that the new Star Trek will make it into 2017's most anticipated series for a reason. The list of his declared merits is very long: here is a respectful attitude towards the canon and multicultural and gender equality and unexpected characters (for example, a female captain and a gay lieutenant).
8. "Defenders"
The series is expected in the fall.
Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist have teamed up for a good cause. Bad guys in New York will face hard times, because our favorite heroes are ready to fight for good and justice to the last drop of gangster blood. Also intriguing is the role of Sigourney Weaver as someone “very smart” and “very responsible”. Maybe super villains?
7. "The Handmaid's Tale"
The show will begin in April.
The series is based on Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel about a grim future during a military dictatorship in the fictional Republic of Gilead. The republic came into being when the United States collapsed and religious extremists created a violent theocracy. All the women in it are divided into groups, the most privileged of which are the wives of the Commanders. And the main character (Elisabeth Moss) is a servant who is entrusted with the task of having sex with the owner and giving birth to a child in an era of widespread infertility.
6. "Iron Fist"
The month of the premiere is March.
Game of Thrones star Finn Jones (Loras) plays Danny Rand, who returns to New York 15 years after he was presumed dead in a plane crash. He must avenge the death of his parents.
Netflix will also be releasing the Defenders miniseries, which we featured on our Top 10 Most Anticipated TV Shows Chart of 2017. It will bring together Luke Cage (Mike Coulter), Jessica Jones (Kristen Ritter), Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Iron Fist under one roof.
5. "Escape: Continuation"
World premiere in April.
The series ended in 2009 and protagonist Michael Scofield was apparently dead. Eight years later, it was revealed that Michael was alive and held in a Yemeni prison. Lincoln and Sarah plan to get Michael free.
4. "Legion"
The release will take place in February.
The list of the most anticipated foreign TV series of 2017 is continued by the story from the X-Men universe. This could be one of the best things to happen in the world of cinema next year. After all, the creator and producer of the project is Noah Hawley, who very successfully transferred Fargo to the small screen.
Dan Stevens, star of Downton Abbey, stars as a troubled man with a diagnosis of schizophrenia who has been in a mental hospital for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he begins to realize that the voices he hears and the visions may be real.
3. "Big Little Lies"
The show will take place in February.
The top three of the anticipated 2017 series opens with a story about a group of wealthy mothers involved in a mysterious murder story. The series features such Hollywood heavyweights as Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Alexander Skarsgard and Zoe Kravitz, and the plot is based on the bestselling book of the same name by Leanne Moriarty.
2. "Inhumans"
Expected: in September.
The second number of the serial chart is the story of the royal family, whose superpower was bestowed on them by the mysterious Terrigen Mist. Considering that the series will not only feature Black Bolt (who is mostly silent, as his voice is a weapon) and his wife Medusa with magical hair, but also a giant dog named Lockjaw, the "Inhumans" have the potential to become as good as the "Guardians" Galaxies ".
1. "Twin Peaks"
Probable show start: April.
It's been 25 years since the original Twin Peaks TV series, donated to us by David Lynch and Mark Frost, went on the air. And now he is back and topped the top anticipated series of 2017.
In it we will again see FBI agent Dale Cooper (Kyle McLachlan) and many other characters living in a fictional American town. This will not be a spin-off, not a prequel or a remake, but a continuation of the original series.
