These are the best TV shows of 2025 that you definitely haven't seen yet.

While you've probably been re-watching the same three episodes of your comfort show for the millionth time, the streaming gods have been quietly dropping some absolute gems in 2025. And they deserve more than a fleeting scroll-past on your Netflix homepage. These are the kinds of shows that'll have you cancelling weekend plans immediately.

Yes, we know about The White Lotus Season 3 and Severance Season 2 — they were absolutely everywhere, dominating your social feeds and water cooler conversations for weeks. Consider them honourable mentions that we're sure you've already devoured (and if you haven't, what are you even doing?).

But beyond those obvious crowd-pleasers, there's a treasure trove of fresh releases that dropped their first season this year that might not even be on your radar yet.

Watch the trailer for The Four Seasons. Article continues after video.

So put down your phone, step away from the discourse, and let us introduce you to the TV treasures of 2025 that your algorithm somehow missed.

Based on Liane Moriarty's novel, this Australian drama weaves together family secrets, small-town gossip, and a decades-old mystery. It's got all the addictive qualities of Big Little Lies with a distinctly Australian flavour.

The coastal setting is gorgeous, the family dynamics are deliciously complicated, and the central mystery will keep you guessing until the very end. Perfect for anyone who loves a good family saga with plenty of secrets to uncover.

The Four Seasons on Netflix is an absolute gem that perfectly captures the beautiful chaos of midlife friendships with all their messy, complicated glory.

The show follows long-time friends as they navigate the complexities of midlife relationships and friendship. Created by the incomparable Tina Fey — and starring Will Forte, Steve Carell, and Colman Domingo — the show offers a fresh take on the classic "friends getaway" premise, exploring what happens when lifelong bonds are tested by changing circumstances and evolving priorities.

The Pitt.

Set in a Pittsburgh emergency room, this medical drama brings a gritty realism that makes Grey's Anatomy look like a soap opera (which, let's be honest, it basically is). Each episode follows real-time shifts, creating an intensity that'll have your heart racing alongside the medical staff. It's raw, unflinching, and surprisingly funny when it needs to be. The ensemble cast delivers powerhouse performances that make you genuinely care about every patient who walks through those doors.

If you're a sports doco fan… Power Moves might just be the 2025 show you need to binge immediately. The six-part Netflix series follows ex-basketballer Shaquille O'Neal as the President of Reebok Basketball in his attempt to revitalise the brand.

With behind-the-scenes footage of the Reebok's creative and marketing strategies, design process, as well as athlete recruitment, the show documents the high-stakes comeback story of an iconic brand fighting to reclaim its place in basketball culture.

Adolescence.

Okay, you've probably seen this one. Or at the very least, there's no doubt that you've heard of a little show called Adolescence. The Netflix limited series has absolutely captivated audiences with its unflinching portrayal of every parent's worst nightmare — what happens when your 13-year-old child is accused of murder.

Created by Stephen Graham and Jack Thorne, this four-part psychological drama follows the Miller family as their world implodes when young Jamie is arrested for killing a classmate, and what makes it truly extraordinary is that each episode is filmed in one continuous, real-time shot.

It's raw, devastating, and utterly compelling television that forces viewers to confront uncomfortable questions about youth, family dynamics, and the pressures facing today's teenagers.

Tucci in Italy.

Stanley Tucci — A.K.A. the internet's husband — returns to his travel show roots, but this time he's exploring the hidden culinary gems of Italy that tourists never find.

His infectious enthusiasm and curiosity about the culture and its food make every episode feel like you're travelling with a charming friend. The cinematography is stunning, the food looks incredible, and Tucci's storytelling will have you booking flights before the credits roll. It's comfort viewing at its finest.

Dying For Sex.

Don't let the provocative title fool you — this is a deeply moving exploration of intimacy, mortality, and what it means to truly live. Based on a true story — and a highly successful podcast — it follows a woman navigating her sexuality after a terminal diagnosis.

It's funny, heartbreaking, and surprisingly uplifting, handling heavy themes with grace and humour. The performances by Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate are absolutely captivating, and the show's approach to difficult conversations is both brave and necessary.

Running Point.

Running Point on Netflix is the Kate Hudson content we've been desperately waiting for — she plays Isla Gordon, a reformed party girl who suddenly finds herself running her family's professional basketball team when her brother spectacularly implodes and heads to rehab.

Created by Mindy Kaling, this workplace comedy is absolutely brilliant at balancing laugh-out-loud moments with genuine heart, as Isla navigates the testosterone-fueled world of professional sports while dealing with family drama and proving she's more than just a pretty face who used to party too hard.

The Studio.

A behind-the-scenes look at a struggling film studio trying to stay relevant in the streaming age. It's a love letter to movie-making that's both nostalgic and brutally honest about the industry's current state. The ensemble cast is fantastic — with Seth Rogan at the helm — and the show perfectly captures the chaos and creativity of Hollywood. If you've ever wondered what really goes on behind your favourite films, this is essential viewing.

Adults.

This comedy-drama follows a group of friends who are still figuring out what it means to be a "real adult." I mean, same. It's relatable without being cringey, funny without sacrificing emotional depth, and perfectly captures that weird liminal space between youth and proper adulthood. The ensemble cast's chemistry is fantastic, and the writing feels authentic to anyone who's ever wondered if they're doing this whole grown-up thing right.
