Upcoming Tv Show 2020 

Aquafina Is Nora from Queens

Premiere Date: Jan 22

Network: Comedy Central

Fresh off her critically acclaimed, quieter than usual work in Lulu Wang’s dramedy The Farewell, Awkwafina’s next big project will feel more familiar — she’s literally playing herself. Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens refers to her real name, Nora Lum. And the Comedy Central program, produced and written in part by Awkwafina, will tell a semi-fictionalized, louder-than-real-life story of her arrested development in her 20s, trying to figure out what to do with her life while living at home in Queens with several of her family members, all of whom are perfectly cast. Her dad? BD Wong, having fun playing with lower energy than usual. Her grandmother? Lori Tan Chinn, who recently crushed in Orange Is the New Black. And her cousin? The rising comedy superstar Bowen Yang, currently scorching the earth on Saturday Night Live.

The show comes in part from Lucia Aniello, who serves as executive producer and directed the pilot. Her last Comedy Central show was Broad City, and it’s not hard to see some of that influential show’s DNA in the first looks at Nora from Queens — bright colors, loud voices, bold attitudes, and a light touch of the surreal. But Awkwafina’s work looks to be uniquely personal, an examination of her own life and family situation that’s about as one to one as a family sitcom can get (just look at the family members she name-checked in her Golden Globes speech and see how much they line up with who’s in this show). Awkwafina has been a relentlessly engaging, interesting voice in the comedy sphere since she first blew up, and I’m looking forward to seeing her drive her own vehicle. — Gregory Lawrence

Star Trek: Picard

Premiere Date: January 23

Network: CBS All Access

To be honest, I haven’t gotten much out of the post – J. J. Abrams era of Star Trek. The recent reboot trilogy featured some delightful performances (in particular Karl Urban absolutely crushing a subtle DeForest Kelly impression to play Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy), but the shift of focus from traditional science fiction to Star Wars-style action really disappointed me. Star Trek was never an action franchise, and that’s not what I liked about the Original Series or The Next Generation. I experienced the same lukewarm response to Star Trek Discovery, the first CBS All Access Star Trek series that sticks more closely to the Abrams formula of solving every conflict with epic space battles and phaser fights. Again, these things are objectively awesome, but they aren’t what I like about Star Trek (for example, in TOS and TNG, the phasers are rarely used and almost never effective against the episode’s threat).

Star Trek: Picard seems aimed more at curmudgeonly old Trek fans like myself; it’s a nostalgia grab on its face, and it’s peppered with cameos of popular characters from TNG and Voyager, including Ryker (Jonathan Frakes), Troi (Marina Sirtis), Data (Brent Spiner), and Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). But Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard didn’t become one of the most beloved Star Trek characters of all time for no reason, and I’m genuinely pretty excited to see him return. Even though the trailers tease a very Star Wars story, in which Picard seems to be occupying an Obi-Wan Kenobi role mentoring a young “chosen one” warrior, I can’t wait to watch this goddamn show if for no other reason than to see Picard hang out on his sweet,
