The Best New TV Shows This 2022

Pam and Tommy

Given this tv series is set to be 18sx, it’s kind of weird they aired it on family-friendly platform, Disney+. But anyhow, ever since the cast photos were released last year and the fans (me included) were shocked to the core to see how accurate the casts are, we literally cannot wait any longer. The story centres around real-life event where Pamela and Tommy’s infamous sex tape were ‘’robbed’’ from their consent.

The Lord of The Rings Series 

C’mon who doesn’t know of these trilogy, blockbuster movies which were adapted from J.R.R Tolkien sold out novels? We have ‘’graduated’’ from the big screen fandom, now they’re taking it to the streaming platform, Amazon Prime. The series is set to take place thousands of years before the epic event of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings trilogy. It’s like taking a walk in the memory lane. 

Release date: September 2

The House of Dragons

Another middle-aged drama series, House of Dragons will premiere sometime in the summer on HBO series. As the name suggests, it is easy to guess that the series is heavily tied up with the famous Game of Thrones series. The new shows will also take place hundreds of years before the first GOT event. So between Game of Thrones and LotR, which historical and mythical region would you live in? Just asking.
