The new year will bring the usual wealth of returning television series. But should you be looking for something brand-new, here’s a something-for-everyone list of premiering shows to watch for this year. Note, as always, that premiere dates are subject to change.

“Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials”

A country-house party prank goes terribly wrong in this elegant-looking British series, adapted from Christie’s 1929 novel and featuring young sleuth Lady Eileen “Bundle” Brent (Mia McKenna-Bruce). Helena Bonham Carter and Martin Freeman co-star. (Premieres Jan. 15, Netflix)

“Ponies”

Emilia Clarke and Haley Lu Richardson star in this 1970s espionage thriller, in which two young women become CIA operatives after their husbands are killed under mysterious circumstances. (Jan. 15, Peacock)

“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”

This “Game of Thrones” prequel, taking place a century before that series’ events, is based on author George R.R. Martin’s novella “Tales of Dunk and Egg,” the story of a lowborn knight (Peter Claffey) and his child squire (Dexter Sol Ansell). (Jan. 18, HBO)

“Steal”

An office worker (Sophie Turner, speaking of “Game of Thrones”) at a pension fund investment company gets unexpectedly pulled into a heist in this six-episode series, also starring Archie Madekwe (“Saltburn”) and Jacob Fortune-Lloyd. (Jan. 21, Prime Video)

“The Beauty”

Ryan Murphy’s latest is a body-horror sci-fi thriller, in which supermodels around the world are literally exploding(!) after taking a “fountain of youth” drug. The cast includes Rebecca Hall, Anthony Ramos, Ashton Kutcher and Isabella Rossellini. (Jan. 21, FX/Hulu)

“Wonder Man”

Yet another Marvel Comics adaptation, and an intriguing one: Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) and Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) are actors hoping to be cast in a “Wonder Man” movie, with the former suddenly finding himself with superpowers of his own. Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”) and Andrew Guest (“Community,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) are the co-creators. (Jan. 27, Disney+)

“The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins”

This comedy about a disgraced NFL superstar is something of a “30 Rock” reunion, with Robert Carlock, Sam Means and Tina Fey on the creative team and Tracy Morgan playing the title role. Daniel Radcliffe(!), Erika Alexander and Bobby Moynihan co-star. (Feb. 23, NBC)

“How to Get to Heaven from Belfast”

From “Derry Girls” creator Lisa McGee, this comedy/thriller follows three Irish childhood friends as they try to solve the mysterious death of a former schoolmate. (February TBD, Netflix)

“The Testaments”

Based on Margaret Atwood’s bestselling sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale” (itself already a TV hit), this series follows a new generation of young women growing up in the dystopian theocracy of Gilead. Ann Dowd, of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” returns as Aunt Lydia; Chase Infiniti (“One Battle After Another”) co-stars. (April TBD, Hulu/Disney+)

“Widow’s Bay”

In this horror/comedy, Matthew Rhys (“The Americans”) plays the mayor of an island town in New England, contending with locals who believe their community is cursed. Apparently it is? Katie Dippold (“Parks and Recreation”) is the showrunner. (April 29, Apple TV)

“Trinity”

This naval thriller from the makers of “Bodyguard” was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia. It centers on a naval commander (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) stationed on a nuclear submarine who gets involved, surely unwisely, with the secretary of defense (Richard Madden) — who’s got a few conspiracies up his sleeve. (TBD, Netflix)
