There’s plenty to look forward to in 2021, like for instance leaving your house again with a bicep pumped full of vaccine. But until it’s safe to do so, television will be there, and thankfully 2021 holds a wealth of exciting new programming across the ever-expanding streaming landscape.
Although networks don’t share their release schedules more than a month or two ahead, all of these shows have been rumored to be ready for release sometime this year. Whether the coronavirus pandemic has derailed those plans is uncertain, but with any luck, these 10 shows will arrive on your screen in 2021.
Peter Jackson Reveals His Favorite Lord Of The Rings Scene, And He Didn t Direct It
Peter Jackson s The Lord of the Rings film series is packed with many beloved scenes, but one stands above all for the director, and it s not a scene he directed.

In The Two Towers, Jackson wanted to properly introduce Gollum, but the director remarked that he didn t have a sequence that effectively demonstrated Gollum s two-persons-in-one existence as Gollum and Smeagol. We knew we needed it, but we had no time to shoot it, Jackson said.
