4 TV shows to watch out for in 2021
With productions halted and release dates postponed for major Hollywood flicks and popular web series', 2020 has been a rather dry year for fans. The good news is, although the pandemic is far from over, things are starting to look better for the entertainment industry in 2021.
For local fans, we list out 4 most anticipated TV titles we look forward to binging this year:
Foundation
Asimov's iconic Sci-Fi title is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated shows this year. The influential trilogy of books that has inspired countless movies, tv shows and games over the years, including the hugely popular Star Wars and Star Trek series', is finally making its own way to our screens, thanks to Apple TV+.
The 10-episode show is slated for 2021 and the production boasts a stellar cast and is being overseen by David S Goyer and Robyn Asimov.
Feluda Pherot: Season 2
Feluda Pherot's first season was a breath of fresh air for long time Feluda fans who have missed the iconic Bengali sleuth on screen for some time.
Srijit Mukherjee's purist take on our favourite Private Investigator, despite minor flaws, was refreshing and gripping to watch and left us craving for more.
The second season of the show featuring a modern take on the "Joto Kando Kathmandu te" novel, will be released sometime early this year, most likely around India's republic day.
Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the Rings TV series is all set to premiere on Amazon this year and already has five seasons planned.
The TV show isn't a remake, rather it's set during the "Second Age" of Tolkien's universe and will work as a prequel, exploring the rich history and mythology of Middle Earth.
Amazon is aiming to make Lord of the Rings the next Game of Thrones. Fingers crossed.
Stranger Things: Season 4
Stranger Things is one of the most watched TV shows in Netflix's history and the popularity is of course justified. Good news for fans, the show is returning for a 4th season – hinted long ago in the post credits scene in the final episode of season 3.
Production was halted due to the pandemic, but judging by the Duffer brothers' interview in Deadline in early 2020, the show could return for a fourth season sometime in mid-2021.
