We Look Forward To New Shows Being Released In 2023
This year, there have been plenty of disappointments, especially for “Gentleman Jack” and “Warrior Nun,” which both deserve another season.
A question also remains: Why is there no official announcement about “High School” season 2? It’s easy to feel hopeless when this question appears endless, and the more time passes, the less hope there is.
Nevertheless, we have enjoyed some very entertaining brand-new shows such as “Prisma,” “Willow,” “Heartstopper,” “The Last of Us,” and “Gap, The Series,” to name a few.
Now, all that remains is to see what 2023 has in store for us! And get ready, because four brand new lesbian Thai series will be released this year once “Gap, The Series” season 1 ends! So stay tuned!
Just wondering what series you would like to see renewed, or canceled, in 2023?
