It's just a stacked year in general. On the comedy side, we have the final seasons of comedy heavy hitters, Ted Lasso, Barry, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Atlanta. Plus, newcomers The Bear, Wednesday, and Poker Face, and the Disney owned returnees Only Murders in the Building, Abbott Elementary and What We Do In the Shadows.

On the drama side you have the final season of Succession, Better Call Saul, Yellowstone, with newcomers Andor, The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, and The White Lotus first time in drama.

It does seem right now like the table is pretty open for The Crown to run the table next year for its final season. But with so many huge shows ending, it's kind of an exciting turning of the tides for popular TV.

HBO will be fine, they still have new seasons of House of the Dragon, The White Lotus, Hacks, Euphoria, The Penguin, The Rehearsal , Winning Time, Curb, The Righteous Gemstones, Last Week Tonight, Harley Quinn, The White House Plumbers (as well as several other limited series) just in the next year alone, not to mention at least two other Thrones spinoffs, a Parasite adaptation, a Hellraiser series from Danny McBride and Jody Hill, a tv adaptation of multiple seasons of Serial, a miniseries based off of Kubrick's unmade Napoleon script, a horror series from Alfonso Cuaron, a vampire series based off of a popular book series from JJ Abrams and Issa Rae, a new Alec Berg show post Barry, an ISIS miniseries from Bradley Cooper and Todd Phillips, The Gotham PD show, the Green Lantern Corps show, the Themyscira show all in development for the next few years. HBO is doing just fine.

Weirdly, the best comp I can think of how I feel about it is Will and Grace, a very consistent show with characters you just enjoy spending time with that occasionally speaks delicately on real world issues other shows aren't talking about (in this case the struggles of public schools and teachers) that is one of the best shows network sitcoms of its era, but still just not quite Friends or Seinfeld (or here Ted Lasso)
