If you’ve been after something to fill the Buffy-shaped hole in your heart, Warrior Nun might just do the trick. At the start of the show, protagonist Ava, an orphan, is dead.

Where to watch: Netflix
Another reboot from Netflix, this time of the iconic book series that was also adapted into a TV show and a movie in the ‘90s.

It’s sure to delight nostalgic ‘90s kids and new fans alike.

P-Valley is based on the play Pussy Valley by Katori Hall, who is series’ showrunner and executive producer.

Zomboat! (July 24)
Where to watch: Stan
This sitcom first aired in Britain in 2019 and is now premiering in Australia on Stan. In the vein of Shaun of the Dead, it’s a zombie comedy set in Birmingham, following a ragtag group of z-poc survivors fleeing for their lives on a very, very slow canal boat. As you do.
Muppets Now (July 31)
Where to watch: Disney+
They’re ba-ack! Muppets Now is a six episode “unscripted” series following Scooter and the other Muppets as they prepare to launch their first streaming show. It all sounds very meta and very Muppet-y, which is just what we need in 2020.
