The good news, of course, is that there are 43 seasons of the campy classic to keep you occupied until a new plan is confirmed: the original 26 seasons are on BritBox and Tubi, while Gatwa’s two seasons will remain on Disney+, where they originated (in the US). But as of June 11, the first 13 seasons of the modern era, aka NuWho, have found a new home on AMC+. There, fan-favorite Doctors Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, and Jodie Whittaker are crashing through space and time to battle Daleks, outwit Weeping Angels, and save the universe all over again—all while proving what makes Doctor Who one of television’s most indelibly inventive series.
Adventure Time: Side Quests
In 2010, Pendleton Ward subverted typical cartoon tropes with Adventure Time, a surreal, coming-of-age sci-fi series that let its characters do what few other animated creations ever have: age. Now, the Land of Ooo is calling once again. Adventure Time: Side Quests, a companion to the original series developed by Nate Cash, a storyboard supervisor on the original series, takes audiences back in time to Season 1 vibes, with dynamic duo Finn the Human and Jake the Dog reuniting for more wild shenanigans where they’ll battle monsters, meet new friends, and, according to the official synopsis, “punch evil in the butt.” And they’ll do it all with the same mix of humor and heart that made Adventure Time a beloved cult classic.
X-Men ’97
Over the course of more than three decades, the X-Men have headlined nearly 20 movies and television series. Yet one of the franchise’s most beloved entries remains the one that started it all: the iconic ’90s cartoon. X-Men ’97 picks up where X-Men: The Animated Series (which you can stream on Disney+) left off, reuniting many of the original voice actors for a critically acclaimed continuation that finds the mutant superheroes learning how to navigate a world without Professor Xavier to guide them. The long-awaited Season 2 arrives on July 1 with the first three of nine episodes.
The Listeners
Fresh off a scene-stealing turn in Apple TV’s multi-award-winning The Studio, Golden Globe nominee Rebecca Hall toplines this eco-focused psychological drama about Claire, a seemingly contented wife, mom, and English teacher whose life begins to fall apart when she starts hearing a low-frequency humming sound that no one else notices. That is, until she discovers someone else who does. The five-part series, adapted from Jordan Tannahill’s 2021 novel, is finally arriving stateside nearly two years after airing as a BBC miniseries in the UK, but its timing couldn’t be better. Beneath its eerie premise, the series explores some of today’s most pressing anxieties, from the ease with which people can be drawn into conspiracy culture to the isolation fueled by an escalating mental health crisis.
Silo
Dystopian dramas are hardly in short supply on the small screen right now (see: The Last of Us, Fallout, and Severance, just for starters). But there’s always room for a well-crafted one, and Silo is very much that. The series, from Justified creator Graham Yost, takes place in the wake of a devastating global event that has turned Earth into a toxic wasteland. In order to sustain, and rebuild, human life, the last 10,000 people on Earth are brought together to live in an underground bunker known as Silo 18.
