From Bridgerton to Palm Royale, These Are the Most Anticipated New and Returning TV Shows for 2024

Jess Brownell (Inventing Anna) takes over as showrunner from Chris Van Dusen. In season three, according to Netflix, “Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her. She has, however, decided it’s time to take a husband, preferably one who will provide her with enough independence to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown. But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly. Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he’s disheartened to realize that Penelope is giving him the cold shoulder. Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season. But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly. Complicating matters for Penelope is her rift with Eloise (Claudia Jessie), who has found a new friend in a very unlikely place, while Penelope’s growing presence in the ton makes it all the more difficult to keep her Lady Whistledown alter ego a secret.”

TBD 2024

Outlander (Starz)

Season seven was supersized, with the first eight episodes having premiered in June 2023, followed by the next eight coming in…well, we don’t know yet. But they are coming, and they’ll be sometime this year, most likely in the spring. Says EP Maril Davis, “Buckle your seat belt, because there’s so many ups and downs, and everyone’s worst fears are kind of realized in the second half. And I think that notches up the pressure on all of her characters to a delicious level.”
