15 Original Movies, TV Shows & Albums To Look Forward To In 2018

If ever there were a time for a fresh start, it’s now, as we all attempt to rise from the ashes of 2017’s raging dumpster like some bedraggled phoenix. But hey, new year, new you, (new administration?), and hopefully new tastes in pop culture await. The usual Hollywood harvest of sequels, prequels, and remakes is on the horizon once again. But allow us to steer you down the road less traveled with our top crop of fresh takes in 2018.

The same rules as our list last year applies: films and TV shows can’t be adapted or spun off from something previously published or produced (i.e., no Star Wars prequels), and albums have to be from artists making their debut with an LP.

Honorable Mention: Bohemian Rhapsody
It would be criminal if this film wasn’t mentioned. However, this feels like one of those don’t-hold-your-breath kind of scenarios. This project has been in the works for years, with Sacha Baron Cohen originally attached to play Freddie Mercury. The role went to Mr. Robot‘s Rami Malek last year. But recently, director Bryan Singer was fired during production amid rumors of being M.I.A. on set and replaced by Dexter Fletcher. The release date is currently set for Christmas 2018.
