<\/p>\n

There’s no doubt about it: 2023 marks a sizeable shift in the TV landscape. <\/p>\n

Popular, award-winning series like Succession,<\/em><\/a> The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel<\/a><\/em>, and Barry<\/em><\/a> <\/em>are all wrapping up their final season. Elsewhere, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike<\/a> will likely push back the third season of beloved shows like Abbott Elementary<\/em><\/a> and Yellowjackets<\/em><\/a> \u2014 <\/em>a small price to pay in order for writers to fight to receive fair compensation.<\/p>\n

With so many shows ending and the future of so many others up in the air, you may find yourself wondering what, if anything, you can watch next. Luckily, this summer sees the premiere of many <\/em>exciting original shows, as well as the return of some old favorites.<\/p>\n

2. Unicorn: Warriors Eternal<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Genndy Tartakovsky has created legendary animated series like Dexter’s Laboratory<\/em>, Samurai Jack<\/em>, and Primal<\/em><\/a>. His latest creation, Unicorn: Warriors Eternal<\/em>, is 20 years in the making.<\/p>\n

The Unicorn <\/em>title refers not to the horned creature of legend \u2014 although one does make a quick appearance \u2014 but rather to the name of a group of warriors reincarnated throughout the centuries. They are sorceress Melinda, cosmic monk Seng, and warrior elf Edred. After their recent reincarnation takes an unexpected turn, these three (and their steam-powered robot, Copernicus) must make sense of their confused memories and face off against a great evil. In true Tartakovsky fashion, the 2D animation is stunning, inventive, and accompanied by a healthy dash of weirdness. After all, this is a series featuring steampunk aesthetics, a magical fox woman, zombie mammoths, and Merlin himself. If it wasn’t<\/em> weird, I’d be disappointed. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Hazel Doupe, Grey DeLisle, Demari Hunte, Alain Uy, Tom Milligan, Jacob Dudman, Ron Bottitta, Jeremy Crutchley, and George Webster<\/p>\n

How to watch: <\/strong>Unicorn: Warriors Eternal<\/em> premieres May 4 on Adult Swim, with new episodes weekly. Episodes stream the next day on Max<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3. The Other Two<\/em>, Season 3<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Other Two<\/em><\/a> <\/em>manages to be both the funniest show on TV and also one of the most underrated. So, if you haven’t watched it yet, consider this your sign to start! This madcap showbiz satire deserves to be a mandatory part of your summer programming, especially <\/em>now that it’s returning with an incredible third season.<\/p>\n

\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Season 3 of The Other Two <\/em>picks up with the entire Dubek family succeeding in the entertainment industry. Pat is now an Oprah-level media mogul; her youngest son, Chase Dreamz, is navigating pop stardom as an adult; and his “other two” siblings, Brooke and Cary, have also found footing as a talent manager and actor, respectively. But is any of this success truly fulfilling? The Other Two <\/em>seeks to find out, with a season that is as introspective as it is uproariously funny. If you love nothing more than hyper-specific pop culture references and film parodies, add this to your list yesterday.<\/em> \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Drew Tarver, Hel\u00e9ne Yorke, Molly Shannon, Ken Marino, Case Walker, Wanda Sykes, Josh Segarra, and Brandon Scott Jones<\/p>\n

4. Bupkis<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ever wondered what it’s like to be comedian Pete Davidson? Well, Bupkis<\/em><\/a> <\/em>is probably the closest you’ll get to finding out. The semi-autobiographical series sees Davidson play himself as he juggles family, fame, and a large amount of infamy. <\/p>\n

\n <\/use><\/svg>
\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

While you might expect Bupkis <\/em>to dwell on Davidson’s career as a comedian or his high-profile relationships, the show actually winds up being a thoughtful examination of Davidson’s interior life. Sure, there’s a fair amount of raunchy stoner comedy, as well as a heaping dose of Davidson’s trademark self-deprecating cynicism. But overall, Bupkis <\/em>will surprise you in the best possible way. Plus, it boasts an impressive roster of guest star comedians like John Mulaney, Kenan Thompson, and Jon Stewart. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Pete Davidson, Edie Falco, Joe Pesci, Joshua Bitton, Steve Buscemi, Bobby Cannavale, Charlie Day, Brad Garrett, Al Gore, Sunita Mani, John Mulaney, Simon Rex, Ray Romano, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Jon Stewart, Kenan Thompson, Marissa Jaret Winokur, and Chase Sui Wonders<\/p>\n

5. Silo<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It’s about time we got a new dystopian TV show to obsess about, and Silo<\/em><\/a> <\/em>is all too happy to fill that void. Imagine, if you will, that you are one of the last 10,000 people on Earth. You live in a mile-deep underground silo that protects you from whatever toxic horrors await outside. But no one in the silo knows why the outside world is why it is \u2014 or even why the silo was created. Wouldn’t you want answers? Too bad! In Silo<\/em>, looking for those answers will get you killed. <\/p>\n

The threat of death isn’t going to stop engineer Juliette from trying, though, especially after one of her loved ones dies under strange (dare I say murderous<\/em>?) circumstances. As Juliette works to untangle the truth of the silo, the show introduces us to a fascinating new society where nothing is as it seems. Murder mysteries, sci-fi world-building, and an unknown apocalypse? Sign me up! \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Rebecca Ferguson, Iain Glen, Will Patton, Ferdinand Kingsley, Caitlin Zoz, Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, David Oyelowo, Rashida Jones, and Tim Robbins<\/p>\n

The Muppets Mayhem<\/em><\/a> <\/em>picks up with this beloved fictional band of Muppets as they set out to record their first-ever album.

If you’re a fan of pulse-pounding historical thrillers, keep Spy\/Master <\/em><\/a>on your radar. At the height of the Cold War, tensions are high and paranoia runs amok.

What makes this season interesting is it’s been seven years since Season 2 aired. The characters \u2014 including Cawood’s now-teenage grandson, Ryan \u2014 are all that little bit older. He was already asking questions about his father Royce in Season 2. Nearing all grown up, how is Ryan going to feel about the man who caused his family such pain? What new schemes will Tommy be cooking up from prison? And how will Cawood and Royce’s decades-long hatred for one another finally come to an end? Time will tell, but if this show’s first two seasons are anything to go by, the finale is going to be anything but a happy one. \u2014 Sam Haysom, Deputy UK Editor<\/em><\/p>\n

This revival of Clone High<\/em><\/a>, which ran on MTV from 2002 to 2003, reunites us with a high school populated by the clones of well-known historical figures.

And what have they done since the original days of Clone High<\/em>, you may ask? Lord and Miller went on to direct bangers like The Lego Movie <\/em>and 21 Jump Street<\/em>, as well as produce the Academy Award-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/em><\/a>, while Bill Lawrence has most recently co-created and served as showrunner on Ted Lasso<\/em><\/a> <\/em>and Shrinking<\/em><\/a>.

Can a man and woman ever really be just friends? When Harry Met Sally\u2026 <\/em>famously answered this question in 1989. But has anything changed since then? Will and Silvia are going to find out. Once his marriage breaks up, his former bestie returns to help him pick up the pieces. On the surface, they couldn’t be more different. He’s an idealistic hipster with the fashion sense of a Hot Topic mannequin. She’s a stay-at-home mom who’s grown bored of her seemingly settled life. Together, they plunge into midlife crisis with destructive (or maybe constructive?) hijinks, involving bleach jobs, petty crimes, and those moments so embarrassing you can only confess them to your best friend.

Cults! If you’re into thrillers about ’em, you’d better pencil in The Clearing<\/em><\/a>. Directed by Gracie Otto and Jeffrey Walker and based on J.P. Pomare’s crime fiction book, the Australian series concerns a religious cult that may or may not be kidnapping children (it sure seems that way). It all comes down to one woman who must confront her past in order to save lives, and from the looks of Hulu’s trailer<\/a>, that won’t be an easy task. Plus, we’re not completely sure what kind of ritual a “clearing” is, but it sounds sinister as hell. \u2014 Shannon Connellan, UK Editor<\/em><\/p>\n

You’ve seen Arnold Schwarzenegger fight Predators and Terminators on the big screen. Now, the action legend (and former governor of California) appears in his first-ever scripted TV show.<\/p>\n

FUBAR<\/em><\/a> <\/em>sees Schwarzenegger as a secret CIA agent who is tantalizingly close to retirement. But before he can get out for good, he has to complete a last-minute mission extracting another operative from behind enemy lines. Things take a turn for the awkward when he realizes said operative is none other than his daughter. Neither knew the other worked for the CIA, making for a tense family reunion rendered even more tense by the constant<\/em> threat of death (and his adult daughter’s potty mouth). As the two fight their way out of danger, they’ll kick ass, re-evaluate their relationship, and hopefully find some time to meaningfully bond. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger, Monica Barbaro, Milan Carter, Gabriel Luna, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Barbara Eve Harris,\u00a0Aparna Brielle, Andy Buckley, and Jay Baruchel<\/p>\n

On top of having to decorate their dinner space according to a specific theme, the queens will also have to cook a large meal \u2014 in full drag.<\/p>\n

The Idol<\/em><\/a> <\/a>is approaching fast, and it’s bringing a whole lot of sex, drugs, and pop music with it. Created by Euphoria<\/em><\/a>‘s Sam Levinson, Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, and Reza Fahim, The Idol <\/em>follows pop star Jocelyn as she shoots for worldwide domination and falls under the spell of a charismatic night club owner (who may also be a cult leader).<\/p>\n

While we’ve only been treated to a handful of teasers for <\/a>The Idol<\/em><\/a> <\/em>so far, the show is already a major talking point due to the high-profile talent attached, as well as reports of a chaotic shoot<\/a>. (HBO later denied these reports<\/a>.) However, what little footage we have seen shows an intriguing amount of promise, including Levinson’s trademark flashy cinematography and teases of Jocelyn’s Britney Spears-esque career.

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This summer brings with it a bittersweet farewell as we say goodbye to Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher’s excellent teen comedy, Never Have I Ever<\/em><\/a>. It’s senior year for Devi Vishwakumar, and I can only imagine the excitement (and, yes, worry) that will come with her trying to figure out her future. <\/p>\n

Never Have I Ever <\/em>has always excelled not only at its comedy but also at its thoughtful exploration of Devi’s mental state and her connections to the people around her. So, as she wraps up high school with her crew of loyal friends, you can bet that I’ll shed a few tears. Granted, some of those tears may be from laughter, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t going to miss Devi and her general chaos. It’s been a joy watching her grow through friendships, romantic relationships, and family struggles, and it’ll be a joy watching her graduate (hopefully!) in Season 4. As narrator John McEnroe says in the Season 4 teaser<\/a>, “Go get ’em, Devi.” \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you can’t wait for Only Murders in the Building <\/em><\/a>Season 3<\/a> to give you that true crime<\/a> satire fix, then mark your calendar for Based on a True Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Despite its title, this homicide-centered summer show isn’t actually about a real-life crime. Instead, it follows an unlikely trio brought together by true crime obsession. It sounds like Only Murders<\/em> set in Los Angeles. There, a real estate agent, a former tennis star, and a plumber find their lives turned upside down by their shared interest in an active \u2014 and local \u2014 serial killer. However, as this series is created by Craig Rosenberg (Preacher, The Boys<\/a><\/em>), we don’t anticipate cozy crime vibes<\/a>. Instead, expect something sharper, darker, and more unnerving. \u2014 K.P.<\/em><\/p>\n

As for the plot? We’re not sure exactly how much stripping will be involved, but the original film’s underlying story was always one about unemployment and local community banding together to overcome adversity. Judging by the brief description we have of the spin-off<\/a>, these will be the themes that carry through. \u2014 S.H.<\/em><\/p>\n

New zombie show incoming! Well, new-ish.

That’s right: The Walking Dead <\/em>is taking Manhattan. When Maggie and Glenn’s (RIP) son Hershel is kidnapped, Maggie journeys to New York with Negan in the hopes of rescuing them.

I don’t know, but the prospect of new zombie world-building sure is exciting. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

While certainly not the only 2023 show<\/a> to explore<\/a> cannibalism<\/a>, The Horror of Dolores Roach <\/em>promises a gruesome twist on the centuries-old urban legend of Sweeney Todd. Based on the podcast<\/a> of the same name, Prime’s new horror series shifts the macabre tale from 18th-century London to 21st-century Washington Heights. <\/p>\n

After 16 years in prison, Dolores Roach returns home only to find that it’s severely gentrified. She reunites with her old friend Luis and sets up a massage parlor in the basement beneath his empanada business. Based on the Sweeney Todd connection, you can probably guess where we’re headed \u2014 cannibalism central! <\/a>\u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anthology series Miracle Workers<\/em><\/a> <\/em>embraces the apocalypse in its fourth season, aptly subtitled “End Times.” Whereas previous seasons placed the show’s cast in recognizable historical periods like the Dark Ages and the wild west, this outing spoofs dystopian films we know and love \u2014 with the Mad Max <\/em>franchise front and center.<\/p>\n

This season focuses on the relationship between road warrior Sid (Daniel Radcliffe) and warlord Freya Exalta (Geraldine Viswanathan). After battling in the Wasteland, the two settle down in the suburb of Boomtown. There, they’ll meet characters who’d feel at home in the Terminator films, or even Dune<\/em><\/a>. And although Film Editor Kristy Puchko pointed out in her review<\/a> that the season gets off to a “rocky start,” she is still “elated to report that the cast is back and crackling in cringe comedy chemistry as ever before.” \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Daniel Radcliffe, Steve Buscemi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Karan Soni, and Jon Bass.<\/p>\n

43. The Afterparty<\/em>, Season 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Afterparty<\/em><\/a> <\/em>won our hearts with its genre-bending episodes<\/a>, toe-tapping musical numbers<\/a>, and ultra-satisfying murder mystery<\/a>. Lucky for us, we’re in for more of this show’s goodness this summer.<\/p>\n

While Season 1 of The Afterparty <\/em>kicked things off with a death at a high school reunion, Season 2 shifts focus to a similarly emotionally fraught event: a wedding. When a murder interrupts what were meant to be joyous nuptials, Detective Danner is on the case, along with returning characters Zo\u00eb and Aniq. The rest of the cast is completely new, promising a fresh set of kooky characters and cinematically distinct “mind movies” to experience. To adapt the wise words of Yasper from Season 1, you only get one shot…to make a comedy whodunnit twice. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, Zo\u00eb Chao, John Cho, Paul Walter Hauser, Ken Jeong, Anna Konkle, Poppy Liu, Elizabeth Perkins, Jack Whitehall, and Vivian Wu<\/p>\n

How to watch: <\/strong>The Afterparty <\/em>Season 2 premieres July 12 on Apple TV+.<\/a><\/p>\n

44. What We Do in the Shadows,<\/em> Season 5<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What began as a quirky indie comedy out of New Zealand not only re-introduced America to the quirky chaotic comedy stylings of Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement<\/a>, but also launched a spinoff series that is biting and bonkers in its own right. <\/p>\n

Shot in a mockumentary style, What We Do In the Shadows<\/em><\/a> follows a nest of vampires “living” it up on Staten Island. Turns out being immortal isn’t exactly as cool or glamorous as the movies have made it out to be. Nonetheless, these bickering housemates have a blast, crossing paths with ghosts, witches, and necromancers. But for all the horror-inspired gags the show’s first four seasons have delivered, the best bits might be when these century-old bloodsuckers have to make sense of modern nightmares, like internet trolls, dating, and the perils of home makeover shows<\/a>. <\/p>\n

While we may have no clue what Season 5 will bring, that’s part of the fun. Because with this crew, anything is possible. \u2014 K.P.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guill\u00e9n, and Mark Proksch<\/p>\n

How to watch: <\/strong>What We Do in the Shadows<\/em> Season 5 premieres July 13 on FX.<\/a><\/p>\n

Steven Soderbergh directs the tense six-episode miniseries Full Circle<\/em><\/a>, which follows a kidnapping investigation that quickly morphs into something much larger. What are the victim’s wealthy parents hiding? Why does the boss orchestrating the kidnapping keep talking about “closing the circle?” And is there anything supernatural at play here? A stacked ensemble cast and Full Circle’<\/em>s many twists and turns promise to rivet you to this crime drama. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Claire Danes, Timothy Olyphant, Zazie Beetz, Jim Gaffigan, Jharrel Jerome, CCH Pounder, Phaldut Sharma, Adia, Sheyi Cole, Gerald Jones, Suzanne Savoy, Ethan Stoddard, Lucian Zanes, and Dennis Quaid<\/p>\n

46. Foundation<\/em>, Season 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Adapting Isaac Asimov’s classic science fiction novels might seem beyond ambitious. After all, the Foundation <\/em>books are, as Entertainment Reporter Belen Edwards explained<\/a> during Season 1, “collections of interlocking stories and novellas whose events span hundreds of years, not to mention an entire galaxy.” But Foundation <\/em>creators David S. Goyer and Josh Friedman made the impossible pretty compelling with some major modifications. <\/p>\n

This critically heralded sci-fi series still unfurls a fascinating space saga, but by folding in its own rules and some clones. If you missed out on Season 1, there’s still time to catch up ahead of Season 2’s big debut. \u2014 K.P. <\/em><\/p>\n

After being canceled by HBO Max \u2014 though much of Season 2 had already been shot \u2014 Minx’<\/em><\/a>s<\/a> future looked dire. Luckily, STARZ swooped in and saved this ’70s-set comedy from total annihilation.<\/p>\n

In Season 2, Minx <\/em>continues to explore the strange partnership between outspoken feminist Joyce and porn publisher Doug, who join forces to create an erotic magazine for women. Their magazine \u2014 also titled Minx <\/em>\u2014 becomes even more popular this season, bringing with it new levels of fame and fortune that neither Joyce nor Doug are fully equipped to handle. Whether they manage to ride the wave or crack under the pressure, you’d better strap in for the return of this smart, sexy show. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We’re back, baby!”<\/p>\n

Futurama <\/em>is the chaotic cartoon show that can’t be killed! It’s bounced from Fox to Comedy Central to Hulu, getting canceled a couple of times along the way. But now, 10 years since Season 10, Fry and the crew of Planet Express are returning for a fresh round of episodes and misadventures. With much of the original voice cast reprising their roles, this resurrection is sure to thrill animation fans, sci-fi lovers, and anyone who craves comedy rich in pop culture references, irreverence, and silliness. \u2014 K.P. <\/em><\/p>\n

Twisted Metal,<\/em> PlayStation’s over-the-top demolition derby, is the latest classic game series<\/a> to get the live-action treatment. Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Peacock’s take on the game is an action\/comedy following John Doe, a road-raging loner who’s given the chance to turn his life around if he can successfully transfer an essential package across the country. With the assistance of an equally kooky (and heavily armed) car thief, Doe’s thrust into a whirlwind adventure where all kinds of murderous enemies await \u2014 including the incredibly ’90s-tastic violent clown dubbed Sweet Tooth. \u2014 Y.H.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Tahj Vaughans, Thomas Haden Church, Will Arnett, and Joe Seanoa<\/p>\n

How to watch: <\/strong>Twisted Metal<\/em> premieres July 27 on <\/a>Peacock.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

50. Heels, <\/em>Season 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Sibling rivalry goes to the ring in Heels. <\/em>Created by Michael Waldron, this drama series ushers audiences behind the scenes of a Southern town’s intense wrestling scene. Sure, the matches may be scripted, but the pain behind the plot twists hits home for a pair of brothers at odds in matches and in life. <\/p>\n

Jack Spade (Stephen Amell) is a “heel” onstage, meaning he plays the villain the rowdy crowd is meant to boo and root against. His younger brother Ace (Alexander Ludwig) is the “face,” meaning the hero who is fated for victory. But who will win ownership of their late father’s wrestling promotion? And how can Season 2 outdo the drama and blows of Season 1? \u2014 K.P. <\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Stephen Amell, Alexander Ludwig, Alison Luff, Mary McCormack, Kelli Berglund, Allen Maldonado, James Harrison, Roxton Garcia, and Chris Bauer<\/p>\n

One of our favourite shows of 2022<\/a> and the sweet teen romance of our dreams, Heartstopper<\/em><\/a>‘s debut season was a poignant and delightful examination of queer identity, including protagonists Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson at its core. English writer and illustrator Alice Oseman adapted her beloved characters<\/a> from her hit 2016 webcomic<\/a> for the wonderful Netflix screen adaptation, directed by Euros Lyn. Leaving us on a cliffhanger like that with Tao and Elle? We pined, we perished. In Season 2<\/a>, amid exams, a Paris school trip, and a school formal ahead, Nick and Charlie enjoy their shiny new relationship, Tao and Elle figure out their burgeoning feelings, and Tara and Darcy have challenges of their own. \u2014 S.C.<\/em><\/p>\n

52. Only Murders in the Building<\/em>, Season 3<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Only Murders in the Building<\/em><\/a> <\/em>has captivated us with its charming take on the murder mystery. It won’t be long until we reunite with the show’s trio of Charles, Oliver, and Mabel as they prepare to take on their most high-profile case yet.<\/p>\n

Season 2 ended<\/a> with a flash-forward to this season’s murder victim: Ben Glenroy, an actor starring alongside Charles in a Broadway show directed by Oliver. The two actors appear to have major beef<\/a>, so when Ben dies onstage just seconds into the show, all suspicions point to Charles. Looks like our intrepid case crackers will have no choice but to fire their podcast back up to clear Charles’s name. They’ve done it before, and I have faith that they can do it again \u2014 only this time, they’ll be doing it with Meryl Streep in the mix<\/a>. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Together, they’ll set off for the Grand Line, where enemy pirates and massive sea monsters await. Will the Straw Hat Pirates be able to find the legendary One Piece and cement their place in history?

Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan Ahsoka Tano gets the spotlight in her very own Disney+ Star Wars series<\/a>. As the Empire rises, the former Jedi \u2014 and incredibly powerful Force user \u2014 will face a new great enemy in Grand Admiral Thrawn. That name is sure to ring a bell for fans of Star Wars Rebels<\/em>, as Thrawn is a major antagonist of that series. Not only that, he’s also positioned to be the new “heir to the Empire.” Let’s hope Ahsoka can stop him sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

The Rebels <\/em>love doesn’t end with Thrawn, though. Other major characters slated to appear include Mandalorian warrior Sabine Wren, revolutionary leader Hera Syndulla, Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger, and droid Chopper. Here’s hoping Ahsoka and this crew can strike a blow against the Empire \u2014 and deliver an excellent Star Wars adventure along the way. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n
