Top 5 Most Anticipated Shows To Be Continued in 2017

5

Name: Bates Motel

Network: A&E

Season: 5 and will be the last of the series

Premiere Date: Feb 20 Why it's on my list: Bates Motel, although falling flat Season 3, it picked up again in Season 4 and made me excited for the final season, Season 5. Going back to its dark roots from Season 1 Bates Motel looks to end on a high yet creepy note and will forever be one of my fave book to film to tv adaptations. Bates Motel S5 could easily have been higher on my list if it weren't for the news of newcomer Rihanna coming to the cast for the final season.

4

Name: Black Mirror

Network: Netflix

Season: 4

Premiere Date: Unknown Why it's on my list: Black Mirror is one I came across in 2016 and got so hooked I binged watched 3 seasons. With the likes of Jodie Foster to come in to help direct in s4 what's not to look forward to.

3

Name: Wentworth

Network: Foxtel

Season: 5

Premiere Date: Unknown Why it's on my list: Wentworth was another one I came into late and loved the badass vibe of the show. it's never dull and has surprises around every corner, and with S4 ending on a cliff hanger it's hard not to be excited about this series return.

2

Name: Channel Zero: No-End House

Network: SYFY

Season: 2

Premiere Date: Unknown Why it's on my list: With the premiere of this anthology series in 2016 being one of my fave new horror themed shows, I am super excited for the series to return in 2017 with no-end house.

Based off the popular 'creepy-pasta' stories found online, Channel Zero has a very creepy and suspenseful feel to it and after seeing the teaser trailer for no end house on youtube it looks season 2 will deliver.

1

Name: Stranger Things

Network: Netflix

Season: 2

Premiere Date: Unknown Why it's on my list: By far the most interesting and exciting thing to come from tv in 2016, Stranger Things is returning in 2017 for s2 and has the world eagerly anticipating how they will continue the story. With an old school vibe and a whole new yet familiar take on horror Stranger Things was raved on about by all and easily the biggest show to come from Netflix in 2016, it's no surprise that S2 is on a lot of most anticipated lists for 2017.
