All The TV To Get Excited About In 2023

Kicking off 2023 and proving that it's going to be a great year for TV is the third and final instalment of Happy Valley. The show hasn't been on our screens for seven years and we've been desperate for its return. Not only is Sarah Lancashire back as Sergeant Catherine Cawood, her latest investigation will lead her straight back to Tommy Lee Royce, played by James Norton. WATCH 1 January, BBC One.

It's already aired in the US to positive reviews, but Welcome To Chippendales will finally be available to watch in the UK. Telling the true story of the founder of Chippendales - the iconic stripteasing dance group - AKA Somen 'Steve' Banjeree, the show takes some pretty dark turns. WATCH 11 January, Disney+

Crossroads was the iconic British soap that ran across two decades from 1964 - 1988, attracting 15 million viewers in its heyday. One of the lead characters Meg Richardson was played by Noele 'Nolly' Gordon and although not much was known about her private life, many saw her as the face of Crossroads. Now, Russell T. Davies (It's A Sin) is shining the spotlight on the actress and her life with his miniseries Nolly. WATCH February, ITVX

Based on the critically-acclaimed novel of the same name, Fleishman Is In Trouble tells of Toby Fleishman (Jesse Eisenberg) who has just started online dating after his divorce. But when his ex-wife goes missing with their two kids, he's forced to confront the reality of their marriage. With a whole host of A-List names including Claire Danes and Lizzy Caplan, this series is sometimes amusing, often heartfelt, always insightful and definitely not one to miss. WATCH 22 February, Disney+

Another much anticipated book adaptation coming in 2023 is Daisy Jones and the Six written by Taylor Jenkins Reid who also wrote the bestseller The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

And we've not only got the special to look forward to, but there's also the third instalment of Bridgerton itself to enjoy. Focusing on Colin Bridgerton and Lady Penelope, could it be that Lady Whistledown's identity is finally revealed to the public, thus jeopardising any budding romance between the two of them? WATCH Netflix

It feels like we've been waiting a while for this one but the fourth season of Sex Education is finally here. Or at least it will be later this year. And we have so many questions. Will Maeva and Otis ever get together? Will Eric and Adam last? Who will Dan Levy - of Schitt's Creek fame - be playing? WATCH Netflix

It seems like just yesterday that season five of The Crown aired and caused a wave of controversy, but apparently series six - which will be the final series of the hit Netflix show - is just around the corner. Certain scenes have already been filmed for the sixth season including the tragic death of Princess Diana and her subsequent funeral so be prepared for some tears. WATCH Netflix

Leo Woodall (The White Lotus) and Ambika Mod (This Is Going To Hurt) have been cast in the upcoming adaptation of David Nicholls' best-seller One Day.

The award-winning series is back for its fifth and final season. We don't know much about the upcoming series but we can confirm that Ashley Walters and Kane Robinson will both be returning as Dushane and Sully whilst Barry Keoghan (Dunkirk) and Brian Gleeson (Harry Potter) will be joining the cast. At the end of series four, Sully killed Dushane's potential successor Jamie (Michael Ward) so we can expect a lot of fallout from that decision whilst Lauryn (Saffron Hocking) will have to deal with raising her child on her own.
