Starting September 21, a new list of the top 100 TV shows, as determined by over 500 television experts from Hollywood and around the world, will be unveiled. Updates will keep you informed.
TV enthusiasts, get ready! A curated list of the 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century is coming soon. This selection is based on insights from show creators, actors, writers, and other television professionals across the globe.
These experts, numbering over 500, were given the task of choosing the ten best shows that debuted after January 1, 2000. They decided what ‘best’ means—whether it be their personal favorite, most rewatched, or most ambitious in artistic terms.
Beginning on September 21, 20 shows from the list will be revealed daily, starting with number 100. This ranking promises to deliver unexpected choices, even to the editors.
