‘9-1-1: Nashville’ (2025– )

Set in Tennessee, ‘9-1-1: Nashville’ follows Captain Don Hart and the crew of Fire Station 113 as they tackle twister-prone disasters, bridge rescues, and other large-scale emergencies around the city. The series expands the franchise’s first-responder format with new characters and high-risk scenarios that showcase both on-the-ground tactics and command-level decision making.

Created by Ryan Murphy, Tim Minear, and Rashad Raisani, the show stars Chris O’Donnell as Hart, with ensemble turns from Jessica Capshaw and Hailey Kilgore. Executive producers include Brad Falchuk and Angela Bassett, and the production comes from 20th Television, ensuring continuity with the look, pacing, and scope fans expect across the franchise.

‘9-1-1’ (2018– )

The flagship series returns with more call-outs that range from spectacular set pieces to intimate, neighborhood-level rescues. Storylines continue to follow the 118’s shifts in leadership and the personal stakes that ripple through the station as the team responds to unpredictable crises across Los Angeles.

Created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear, the ensemble includes Angela Bassett, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Oliver Stark, Aisha Hinds, Kenneth Choi, and Ryan Guzman. Behind the scenes, 20th Century Fox Television backs the production, with rotating directors and stunt teams designing the show’s hallmark, large-scale emergency sequences.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ (2005– )

Back at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ continues to balance complex surgeries with the evolving relationships of its surgeons, residents, and attending staff. New episodes pick up threads from last season’s dramatic turns in the OR and in the doctors’ personal lives.

Shonda Rhimes created the series, with Meg Marinis serving as showrunner. The current ensemble features Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Kevin McKidd, Kim Raver, Caterina Scorsone, and Camilla Luddington, while Shondaland and The Mark Gordon Company continue to steer the long-running medical drama’s production.

‘Halloween Baking Championship’ (2015– )

The seasonal bake-off returns with contestants crafting creepy cakes, pies, and showpieces that lean into horror themes and elaborate edible set design. Multi-round challenges test flavor, structure, and presentation, culminating in over-the-top displays that embrace the spooky spirit.

John Henson hosts, with judges Carla Hall, Zac Young, and Stephanie Boswell offering technical critiques and creative prompts. Produced for Food Network, the series remains a go-to for festive competition fans and kitchen inspiration heading into peak costume-party season.

‘Ghost Adventures’ (2008– )

Paranormal investigators Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley, and Jay Wasley lead dusk-to-dawn lockdowns inside reportedly haunted locations, documenting EVP recordings, thermal anomalies, and eyewitness accounts. Episodes typically open with a site history and interviews before the team deploys cameras and specialized audio gear.

The long-running series is produced by MY Entertainment and has spawned spinoffs focused on specific cases and infamous locations. The core team’s method—combining historical research, first-person exploration, and technical sweeps—remains the backbone of each investigation.

‘Vinland Saga’ (2019–2023)

This historical anime adapts Makoto Yukimura’s manga about Thorfinn, an Icelandic warrior whose path shifts from vengeance to self-discovery amid rival clans and shifting power across medieval Europe. The story arcs move from battlefield strategy to character-driven growth as Thorfinn confronts questions of honor and purpose.

The series is directed by Shūhei Yabuta, with Season 1 animated by Wit Studio and Season 2 by MAPPA. Twin Engine leads production with collaborators including Production I.G and Kodansha, while Yutaka Yamada’s score underscores the show’s sweeping action and reflective moments.

‘WWE’s Greatest Moments’ (2025– )

An anthology of era-defining professional wrestling storylines and matches, this series revisits pivotal bouts and on-screen rivalries that reshaped the company’s history. Archival footage and contemporary commentary place each featured moment in context, from character evolutions to behind-the-scenes developments.

World Wrestling Entertainment produces the series, with longtime announcer Michael Cole hosting and legends such as “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan appearing to reflect on the impact of the featured segments. Each installment functions as a compact, documentary-style chapter in the company’s larger timeline.

‘Ancient Aliens’ (1997– )

The documentary series surveys the “ancient astronauts” hypothesis, exploring myths, megalithic architecture, and unexplained phenomena through a mix of interviews, site visits, and archival materials. Episodes frame a central question—engineering feats, lost civilizations, or anomalous artifacts—and weigh competing interpretations.

Produced under the A+E Global Media banner, the show prominently features Giorgio A. Tsoukalos in on-camera discussions with scholars, authors, and researchers. The format blends travelogue segments with studio analysis to organize claims, counterpoints, and evidence within each topic.

‘Branding in Seongsu’ (2024)

This South Korean romantic thriller hinges on a body-swap after an accidental kiss between a ruthless brand strategist and a warm-hearted intern, forcing the rivals to navigate each other’s professional and personal worlds. The Seongsu-dong setting—one of Seoul’s trend-forward neighborhoods—provides the backdrop for corporate maneuvering and romantic tension.

Created by Choi Sun-mi, the series is written by Choi Sun-mi and Jeon Sun-young and directed by Jung Heon-soo. It stars Kim Ji-eun, Lomon, Yang Hye-ji, and Kim Ho-young, and was produced by Studio X+U as a mid-form series with tightly paced episodes made for binge viewing.

‘Gintama’ (2006–2018)

Set in an alternate Edo period occupied by alien Amanto, ‘Gintama’ follows freelancer Gintoki Sakata and his odd-jobs crew—Shinpachi Shimura and Kagura—through parody-laced adventures that pivot into serious, manga-adapted arcs. The show’s world mixes sci-fi tech with samurai codes, giving it a distinctive setting for both gags and swordplay.

Animated primarily by Sunrise and later Bandai Namco Pictures, the series credits directors including Shinji Takamatsu, Yoichi Fujita, and Chizuru Miyawaki, with scripts by writers such as Taku Kishimoto and Shū Matsubara. Audio Highs handles the music, and the TV run eventually culminated in a feature-length capstone, ‘Gintama: The Very Final.’
