00:00Get ready for a wild ride, TV fans, because 2020 will be filled with zombies, Marvel superheroes,
00:06and a whole lot of Stephen King.
00:08Everyone's got a gimmick now.
00:10On this IMD Brief, we take a look at the 10 most anticipated TV shows of 2020,
00:15based on what you're searching for the most on IMDb.
00:19When the facts are filled with coincidences, don't dismiss those coincidences.
00:24Let's kick this list off with some comic book-inspired shows.
00:27Rockin' its way to the number 10 spot on the list is Riverdale's spinoff and Archie Comics' adaptation Katie Keene,
00:34starring Lucy Hale.
00:35The series premieres January 21st and follows the titular character and her roommates Josie and Jorge as they chase their
00:42dreams in New York City.
00:44Jorge, this is our new roommate, Josie.
00:46Welcome to the center of the universe.
00:47And speaking of universes, the DC superhero Stargirl flies in at number 8 and is the newest entry in the
00:53ever-expanding Arrowverse.
00:55That's Stargirl.
00:56Though the character initially sparkled on the small screen back in season 2 of DC's Legends of Tomorrow.
01:02This ship, it never ceases to amaze me.
01:05Another thing that might amaze is the speeding train known as Snowpiercer that chugga-chugga-choo-choo's in at number
01:115.
01:12TNT's new sci-fi show set in a post-apocalyptic future is based off a French graphic novel and stars
01:18Daveed Diggs and Jennifer Connelly.
01:20There's no turning back.
01:21Well, we weren't planning on it because at number 4 is The Walking Dead World Beyond.
01:26This is AMC's third show based on The Walking Dead comics created by Robert Kirkman and follows the first generation
01:33to grow up during the zombie apocalypse.
01:35The end of the world was our beginning.
01:38And Endgame was their beginning as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier smashes through at number 2.
01:44The MCU series will be the first of its kind to premiere on Disney+, and we'll see Sam and
01:49Bucky go head-to-head with some old and new enemies,
01:52like Daniel Bruhl's Helmut Zemo and Wyatt Russell's US agent, who is basically an evil Captain America.
01:59Too shy or too scared?
02:01Too busy!
02:02Ah, there's no shame in being scared, Cap.
02:04Especially of these next two shows that come from the mind of horror maestro Stephen King.
02:10Creeping in at number 7 is The Outsider.
02:12The HBO series premieres January 12th and stars Jason Bateman as a suburban father accused of a grisly murder,
02:18and Ben Mendelsohn as the cop investigating the bizarre case.
02:22There's prints all over the crime scene.
02:25The TV footage puts him 60 miles away.
02:28Well, that's weird.
02:30But so is King's other new terrifying TV adaptation, The Stand, which comes in at number 6.
02:36Survivors of a deadly virus face off against the incredibly evil Randall Flagg.
02:41The classic King villain is being portrayed by Alexander Skarsgård.
02:44An interesting choice as his younger brother, Bill, played the creepy clown Pennywise in the recent adaptations of It.
02:50Oh, well, I'm Pennywise the dancing clown.
02:55Yeah, I know, I just said that.
02:56But anyway, coming in at number 9 is Hunters.
02:59Amazon's new series takes us back to an alternate 1977, where disco is king, Nazis are attempting to establish a
03:06Fourth Reich in New York City,
03:08and trying to take them down is a secret organization led by Mr. Hua himself, Al Pacino.
03:14There comes a time where we all must choose.
03:18Why choose when you can watch both of these sequel series?
03:22HBO's The New Pope sits divinely at number 3.
03:25The follow-up to 2016's The Young Pope premieres on January 13th,
03:29and we'll see two Holy Fathers played by Jude Law and John Malkovich go head-to-head.
03:35Is that not enough?
03:36No, it's not, because last but certainly not least is Star Trek Picard, reigning supreme at number 1.
03:43The intergalactic show is a sequel to Star Trek The Next Generation,
03:47and follows the further exploits of Starfleet captain Jean-Luc Picard,
03:51played by the legendary Patrick Stewart.
03:53Thank you for not trying to talk me out of all this.
03:56For more of the most anticipated TV shows and movies coming in 2020,
