Flowers are blooming, allergies are coming back with a vengeance — spring has officially sprung.
The “spring season” in entertainment isn’t quite as flashy as the summer one (if you can even tell the difference between the two come May). But even if it’s a bit less classically blockbuster, the spring TV season is nothing to sneeze at — in fact, there are some big titles coming to television screens soon.
Bridgerton has a new season with new, torrid love affairs as it works its way through the Bridgerton alphabet, while Star Trek: Discovery does one more turn about the room with its fifth and final season. There are heavy hitters coming to TV for the first time, like the star-studded The Sympathizer adaptation from Park Chan-wook coming to Max, or Knuckles — still voiced by Idris Elba, a role he was “eager” to get right — getting his own time to shine in the titular role of Knuckles. And as the saying goes, April showers bring the long-awaited Fallout TV show to Prime Video.
All that and more in our roundup of the best TV shows to watch this spring:
