TV shows still to come in 2018 that we're really excited about

The bad news – series four will be the final season of everyone's favourite musical rom-com. The good news? We'll be getting an extended run – with 18 episodes instead of the usual 13. And with Rebecca in jail after pleading guilty to trying to murder her ex-boyfriend, there'll be plenty to fill those extra episodes.

Ricky Gervais' first sitcom since Derek follows Tony (Gervais) a man with a perfect life – until his wife dies, and Tony contemplates suicide. But he decides instead to live long enough to punish the world by saying and doing whatever he likes. Which basically sounds like Curb Your Enthusiasm meets Gervais' Twitter account. Colour us intrigued. 

We'll all be back in our orange jumpsuits next week, when Orange Is the New Black returns to Netflix. According to Adrienne C Moore, who plays Cindy on the show, "toward the end of season five, there were some people that were agreeing to stick together, and there were some people that were looking out for themselves. We'll see the repercussions of those decisions in this next season."

With a more central focus on Bill Pullman's Detective Ambrose, as he investigates a new case, The Sinner's changing things up significantly for season two – especially as producer Jessica Biel has already said she won't be returning. We're excited to see if they can maintain the critical and audience acclaim that the twist-filled first season achieved. 

After last season's key death, Better Call Saul's fourth season finally sees Jimmy McGill on the path to becoming the Saul Goodman we recognise from Breaking Bad.

Not long to wait before season 4 of Fear the Walking Dead's second half concludes the series, and there are plenty of reasons to be excited. The huge character death in the mid-season finale will dramatically change the show's direction, which means it'll probably feel like a fresh series when it comes back in a few weeks.

An alcoholic princess named Bean, her elf companion Elfo, and Bean's personal demon Luci have adventures in a medieval kingdom known as Dreamland, in Matt Groening's first ever Netflix series.  It's been described as Game of Thrones meets Futurama, which makes it an essential watch as far as we're concerned.

Netflix's latest supernatural drama looks like it might just be the next big streaming show. It follows a couple of teenagers who run away together, without realising that one of them possesses a fairly bizarre supernatural power. It looks like Skins meets The OA, and we expect big things from it. 

John Krasinski becomes the fifth actor to portray CIA analyst turned super spy Jack Ryan following Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine's cinematic turns, for this new Amazon streaming series. Let's hope it's better than that past couple of big screen instalments. 

The continuing story of Marty Bryde and his family as they navigate the murky waters of life within a dangerous drug cartel. With season one being compared to Breaking Bad, we can't wait to see how season two escalates. 

Based on Caroline Kepnes' acclaimed novel of the same name, You follows Joe, a bookstore manager turned stalker who becomes obsessed with one of his customers. Described as Gone Girl meets Girls, this is sure to get people talking in the autumn. 

Expect the American Horror Story hype / ghost train to start pulling out of the station soon – it won't be long before we see  the usual combination of scary viral ads and weird posters. With season 8 said to be AHS' first crossover narrative, expect the talk around the show to be even more intense than usual.  

The latest series following everyone's favourite depressed horse promises to delve deeper into Hollywood's darkest corners than ever before. 

With rumours that Manifest will be the next Lost, we'll be keeping a close eye on this one. The premise certainly sounds familiar, with a full flight of people landing safely, only to discover they've lost five years in the sky, with everyone they left behind assuming they'd died in the air. 

The weird teens return for more surreal adventures in October, but Riverdale fans had better make sure they catch episodes quickly, they're scheduled to drop from the streaming service weekly. So, no bingeing this time around.

A fresh reboot following three sisters – Macy (Madeleine Mantock), Mel (Melonie Diaz) and Maggie (Sarah Jeffery) – who, after the death of their mother, discover they are The Charmed Ones, witches with the 'Power of Three' which allows them to protect innocents and defeat demons.

This all-star adaptation of William Makepeace Thackeray's Victorian novel will be the centrepiece of ITV's (teamed with Amazon) 2018 schedule. Vanity Fair follows charming antihero Becky Sharp as she attempts to escape poverty by reaching the pinnacle of English Society.

According to Netflix: "This next chapter will provide an in-depth look at the high-stakes post-conviction process, as well as, the emotional toll the process takes on all involved." Which sound like it'll be just as depressing as season one, and almost certainly as compelling.
