This one, about the Targaryen family hundreds of years before the events of 'Thrones,' stars Matt Smith ('The Crown') and Rhys Ifans.

'House of the Dragon' (HBO, August 21): Can you say 'Game of Thrones'? HBO is trying to party like it's 2019 again with the first of several potential spinoffs of its juggernaut fantasy epic.

'Reservation Dogs' (FX, August 3): This lackadaisical but sharp comedy, about irreverent Indigenous teens living on a reservation (and trying desperately to get out) was a delightful surprise in its first season and its second should cement its status as one of the best comedies around.

'Only Murders in the Building' (Hulu, June 28): This murder-mystery/comedy will stream its second season less than a year after the first, and who can blame Hulu for getting us more of the lovely trio of Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez sooner? Season 1 ended with the three podcasting amateur detectives arrested for murder, but all is not what it seems.

The series, about a group of investigators of the supernatural for the Catholic Church, gets weirder and more daring with each season.

'Evil' (Paramount+, June 12): This moody, horror-tinged drama from the creators of 'The Good Wife' is back for a third season with even more darkness and terror.

Tense, emotional and epic, there's no other show quite like it. 'For All Mankind' (Apple, June 10): Apple's alternate history about a world where the U.S.- Soviet space race never ended is consistently the best show on TV, and returns for Season 3 in an alternate version of the 1990s when the competition to put astronauts on Mars is on.
