What We Can’t Wait to Watch

“So, what do you want to watch tonight?” It’s a question uttered every day in so many households settling in for the evening. With the multitude of streamers and channels, audiences can feel spoiled for choice, overwhelmed by a deluge of options. Lucky for them (and you), Vanity Fair has sifted through it all to round up the most promising shows of 2023, from returning series to newcomers we can’t wait to see, to bring you our most anticipated TV of the next year.
Elsewhere in HWD, The Fabelmans star Gabriel LaBelle is only 20, but he’s already playing one of Hollywood’s most beloved legends, a character based on a teenage director Steven Spielberg. He talked with VF about creating a character who was Spielberg, but also not quite Spielberg. How do you feel about your uncle? In 2022, the cinematic answer seemed to be “pretty great, actually.” We have conclusive evidence that this was the Year of the Hot Uncle. Wag the Dog was released 25 years ago, and our oral history goes behind the scenes of the Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman classic. Bill Nighy is 73 years old, and on the cusp of his first Oscar nomination for Living. He chatted with Little Gold Men about his decades-long career and the movie, which examines what it really means to live. All this and more, today in HWD!
