IMDb, the internet's leading source for film, TV, and celebrity content, has released its annual lists of the most anticipated movies and TV series for the upcoming year. The 2025 lists offer a glimpse into what IMDb fans are most excited about. The three lists were compiled using data from its vast user base and IMDbPro’s MOVIEmeter, which is updated weekly throughout the year. With over 250 million monthly visitors, the website's rankings reflect real user interest and engagement.

The movies category is dominated by franchise films, from live action reboots (‘Snow White’) to series-ending sequels (’Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning’) to superheroes (‘Superman’ and four new Marvel films). There’s slightly more diversity in the list of new series, with Netflix’s western “American Primeval” and the historical drama “El Turco” joining “Game of Thrones” spin-off “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” “Suits: L.A.,” and the revival series “Daredevil: Born Again.”
