TV powerhouse Phoebe Waller-Bridge is even executive producing two series.

We’re here to facilitate your dream bingeing session this spring. We've gathered all the shows you'll actually want to watch and put them in a handy chronological guide including premiere dates, premiere times, trailers, and plots.

After two long years and the world’s most baffling second season, Westworld returns for round three.

The HBO sci-fi series’ 2020 season takes us outside the confusing parks of prior episodes and reveals the world hiding beyond the gates of Delos’ terrifying robot-heavy playground.

Season 1

Hulu premiere date: Wednesday, March 18 at 12 a.m. ET

When Little Fires premieres, people everywhere will wonder if Reese Witherspoon is once again playing Madeline Martha Mackenzie in this adaptation of an iconic novel written by a woman (technically, her character’s name is Elena Richardson). However, the real question is whether a Witherspoon character has ever gotten the chance to go up against an opponent as complicated and unflinching as Kerry Washington’s Mia Warren.

For those fireworks alone, Little Fires — about the barely concealed tension of a supposedly perfect Ohio town in the late 1990s — is poised to dominate the Twitter discourse.

Motherland: Fort Salem (Freeform)

Season 1

Freeform premiere date: Wednesday, March 18 at 9 p.m. ET

Blair Underwood, Tiffany Haddish, and Carmen Ejogo also star.

Freud (Netflix)

Season 1

Netflix premiere date: Monday, March 23 at 3 a.m. ET

The story of Sigmund Freud is about to get a whole lot sexier — and spookier.

Netflix’s take on the psychoanalyst has Freud (Australian hottie Robert Finster) solving mysteries with the help of a beautiful occult medium (Ella Rumpf). Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka) would approve.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians (E!)

Season 18

E! premiere date: Thursday, March 26 at 9 p.m. ET

Keeping Up With the Kardashians is making a big change. No, one of the E! reality show’s famous faces isn’t leaving (despite years of threats). Instead, KUWTK is making the move from Sunday night to Thursday.

Ozark (Netflix)

Season 3

Netflix premiere date: Friday, March 27 at 3 a.m. ET

After a year and a half off your screen, the blue-hued crime drama is back to raise your adrenaline levels.

Three Busy Debras (Adult Swim)

Season 1

Adult Swim premiere date: Monday, March 30 at 12 a.m. ET

Debras is, without a doubt, the most absurdist series on this list. The Adult Swim sketch show — which will have 15-minute episodes — is a surrealist comedy about three relentlessly peculiar housewives (creators/EPs Sandy Honig, Mitra Jouhari, and Alyssa Stonoha) in the fictional town of Lemoncurd, CT.

If you want to understand what to expect from Debras, watch the trailer right this second — words will never do it justice.

The Real Housewives of New York City (Bravo)

Season 12

Bravo premiere date: Thursday, April 2 at 9 p.m. ET

Money Heist, aka Casa de Papel (Netflix)

Part 4

Netflix premiere date: Friday, April 3 at 3 a.m. ET

There are a handful of must-see international Netflix shows: Elite, Babylon Berlin, and Money Heist. The latter — about a group of Spanish criminals who keep finding themselves in more elaborate crises — returns for a mysterious new season of cons and crime.

Insecure (HBO)

Season 4

HBO premiere date: Sunday, April 12 at 10 p.m. ET

Insecure is another beloved show that took the year of 2019 off. At last, Issa Rae’s HBO comedy is back to make us cringe and cheer for main character Issa Dee (Rae). Insecure’s season 4 trailer confirms out emotions will be all over the place as it shows us Issa thriving… while also tearing her skirt open.

Yet, even that stumble can’t dim Issa’s shine at this point.

Run (HBO)

Season 1

HBO premiere date: Sunday, April 12 at 10:30 p.m. ET

Run is one of the spring’s most exciting new shows.

Only time will tell if Listen will be able to improve upon The Bachelor’s abysmal matchmaking record.

The Baker and the Beauty (ABC)

Season 1

ABC premiere date: Monday, April 13 at 10 p.m. ET

ABC will debut The Baker and the Beauty as a follow-out series for Listen to Your Heart. The soap is an adaptation of a fan-favorite Israeli series of the same name.

Inevitably, romance, comedy, and family drama all ensue.

Mrs. America (FX on Hulu)

Season 1

FX on Hulu premiere date: Wednesday, April 15 at 12 a.m. ET

In December 2019, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 3 nodded towards Phyllis Schlafly, a real-life mid-century anti-feminist politician who rallied against the Equal Rights Act. Hulu will now gives audiences a full picture of Schlafly with Mrs. America, a drama that unravels the battle for the ERA between two groups of women: Schlafly’s ultra conservative STOP-ERA and second wave feminists like Gloria Steinem (Rose Byrne) and Shirley Chisholm (Uzo Aduba).

Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett stars as Schlafly and makes her debut as a leading actress on American TV.

However, AMC confirms, a deeply personal tragedy will throw Eve and Villanelle back onto an obsessive collision course with one another, as usual.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (Showtime)

Season 1

Showtime premiere date: Sunday, April 26 at 10 p.m. ET

Penny Dreadful was one of the most striking, endearingly bizarre series of the mid-2010s. Then it was cancelled in 2016. Now, the drama's gothic ethos is alive once again and giving birth to a brand-new tale. City of Angels leaves the fog of Victorian London behind in favor of 1938 Los Angeles.

This new story — led by Game of Thrones’ Natalie Dormer — will juggle Mexican-American folklore and the simmering political turmoil of the era.

Vida (Starz)

Season 3

Starz premiere date: Sunday, April 26 at 9 p.m. ET

However, a shocking family secret threatens to shatter all of their growth.

Betty (HBO)

The Eddy (Netflix)

Season 1

Netflix premiere date: Friday, May 8 at 3 a.m. ET

Oscar-winner Damien Chazelle loves jazz. It’s no surprise the director’s first Netflix TV collaboration, The Eddy, is all about his very favorite musical genre. The drama is centered in a modern day Parisian jazz club and filters through the lives of its inhabitants.

André Holland and Amandla Stenberg star.

The Great (Hulu)

Season 1

Hulu premiere date: Friday, May 15 at 12 a.m. ET

Welcome to the Catherine the Great TV era. In October 2019, HBO debuted Helen Mirren-starrer Catherine the Great. Seven months later, Hulu is giving audiences The Great, the black comedy take on the life of Russia’s great czarina — this time played by a plucky Elle Fanning.

Tony McNamara, who wrote equally subversive royalty tale The Favourite, penned The Great. That would explain why Nicholas Hoult — a preening treat in The Favourite — is back and in rare form for The Great as Catherine’s dolt of a husband, Peter.

Genius: Aretha (National Geographic)

Season 1

National Geographic premiere date: Monday, May 15 at 9 p.m. ET

Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
