TV Premiere Dates 2021
Contenido
Rotten Tomatoes’ premiere dates calendar keeps track of the most anticipated new 2021 TV premieres and your favorite returning shows. Bookmark this page to get updates on network schedules, when the latest Netflix series launch, when Disney+ shows will premiere, what films and specials are coming your way, and more.
This list also includes titles with vague premiere dates for 2021, either because of the coronavirus-related Hollywood shutdown in the spring and summer of 2020 or because some titles — like director Zack Snyder’s eagerly awaited take on Justice League — enjoy reveling in our anticipation.
January | February | March | April | TBD

Batwoman is back and she has a whole new look. Javicia Leslie joins the show for the second season as Ryan Wilder, a new character who will rise to don the infamous bat suit (Ruby Rose, who played Kate Kane and the show’s original Batwoman, left the series last season). Batwoman returns January 17.
Game of Thrones alum Richard Dormer stars in punk-rock fantasy adaptation The Watch, premiering January 3 on BBC America. Inspired by the characters created by Terry Pratchett’s famous Discworld fantasy novels, The Watch follows an unlikely group of misfits, The City Watch, forced to save the world.
Get ready for more cultural anachronisms in the name of poetry! The second season of Apple TV+’s Dickinson premieres January 8. The biographical dramedy, which stars Hailee Steinfeld, uses modern-day language and (ahem) dance moves, to tell the story of poet Emily Dickinson.
Just added: Batwoman (Jan. 17), Superman & Lois (Feb. 23), Are You Afraid of the Dark? (TBD 2021), Walker (Jan. 21), Riverdale (Jan. 20), American Gods (Jan. 10).
