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 | 2020 Premiere Dates

WandaVision, Marvel Studios’ eagerly anticipated series for Disney+, will arrive on January 15. The series, which focuses on Marvel Cinematic Universe characters Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany), mixes classical TV tropes with those from the MCU. According to the logline, it follows “two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives” who “begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.” Matt Shakman directed the series and Jac Schaeffer is the head writer.

Batwoman returns January 17. The CW also announced 2021 dates for Superman & Lois (Feb. 23), Walker (Jan. 21), and Riverdale (Jan. 20).
