As you know, the year 2020 is coming to an end and the year 2021 is fast approaching. On occasion, the editorial staff of Just Focus offers you a top of the best series expected for the coming year.
American Crime Story – Impeachment
After being excellently received by critics and audiences, and being multi-awarded, the anthology series American Crime Story has been renewed for a third season, which is expected to be released in 2021. As a reminder, the series has traveled the OJ Simpson Case and the murder of the great couturier Gianni Versace, in the first two seasons. Its third part will deal with the famous story of the Monica Lewinsky Affair. The events took place in the late 1990s, during the second term of US President Bill Clinton. This affair broke after an intern at the Department of Defense, Monica Lewinsky, had a relationship with President Clinton. Following the great noise around the case, an attempt to impeach Bill Clinton was conducted. Directed by Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, Ratched), the third season will be carried by Sarah Paulson, his lifelong protégé, who will slip into the skin of Linda Tripp, confidante of Monica Lewinsky, who was at the origin of the outbreak of the case in the media. The actress unveiled a photo of her transformation for the role, and she is unrecognizable. Alongside Sarah Paulson, we will find Beanie Feldstein (Lady Bird) as Monica Lewinsky. Annaleigh Ashford is also in the cast, and will play Paula Jones, the one who sued Bill Clinton for sexual harassment. As for the president, it is Clive Owen who will interpret it. Billy Eichner, who previously collaborated with Ryan Murphy on American Horror Story, will play Matt Drudge, the founder of The Drudge Report and Betty Gilpin will play politician Ann Coulter. A third season that promises to be as majestic as the previous ones.
Atypical – season 4
Atypical is a series by Robia Rashid released in 2017 on Netflix, its fourth and final season should be released in 2021. This will be the last time we have the opportunity to follow the Gardner family's journey. In particular, that of young Sam (Keir Gilchrist), an autistic student who wants to become independent. We go through the episodes strong and realistic subjects rarely highlighted in films and series. Between questions about sexual orientation, the difficulty for the parents, Elsa (Jennifer Jason-Leigh) and Doug (Michael Rapaport) to support their son in all the trials and especially Sam's determination, the public is at the center of their lives. We feel the suffocation that Sam can sometimes feel, but it is his life force that will be remembered. This character has many traits of similar characteristics to Shaun Murphy from Good Doctor, played by the talented Freddie Highmore, autistic and determined to succeed in his professional and love future. For Sam, season 4 promises to be full of twists and turns, he should continue his schooling at university, in a roommate with his best friend Zahid. As for Casey, her sister (Bridget Lundy-Paine) she is caught in a love triangle, so, will we know the end of the story in this fourth season? Similarly, for Sam's parents, on the brink of divorce, will they find a compromise? Many questions to which we hope to have the answers during this final season. Separating from the Gardner family announces tears and joys, so prepare your packs of tissues, you will need them!
Why Women Kill – Season 2
Broadcast in spring 2020 in France, Why Women Kill will indeed have a season 2, scheduled for 2021 in the United States. The final episode of the first season had made the link between the three eras, ending with several cleverly orchestrated murders. The characters often reminiscent of those of Desperates Housewives, had thrown us back a few years with a certain nostalgia. We then found archetypes of the perfect woman with the character of Beth (Ginnifer Goodwin) or that of the worldly and elegant woman with the character of Simone (Lucy Liu). The male roles were not left out, especially that of Karl (Jack Davenport), particularly touching since he suffered from AIDS in the mid-1980s. In addition, the creation of Marc Cherry being an anthology series, the spotlight will be on new characters. According to the information revealed so far, this second season would take place in 1949. Here again, the cast looks promising. Allison Tolman (Fargo, Good Girls) will play Alma, an awkward wife, aspiring to see her daughter, B.K. Cannon (Switched at Birth) get married. Nick Frost (Truth Seekers) will be Bertam a veterinarian, hiding a strange hobby. Lana Parrilla (Once Upon a Time) will play Rita, wife of Carlo, a rich and evil man, who is impatiently waiting for his death. Matthew Daddario (Shadowhunters) will play Rita's lover, wishing to become an actor and that the latter support him financially. Jordane Christie (The Haunting of Hill House) and Veronica Falcón (Queen of the South) will also join the cast, respectively as a private detective and as Carlo's daughter. For those who are late, the first season is available on Salto since October 20.
American Horror Story – season 10
Broadcast since October 2011, the anthology series American Horror Story is about to celebrate its tenth anniversary. After a ninth season released in 2019, the baby of Brad Falchuck and Ryan Murphy (Hollywood, Ratched) is far from finished playing with our nerves. If seasons 1 and 2 remain quite conventional in the subjects addressed, the following revolve around more whimsical themes. For its part, AHS: Freak Show (season 4) pays tribute to Tod Browning's Freaks released in 1932. On the other hand, AHS: 1984 (season 9) is reminiscent of some of the greatest slashers of the time, such as Friday the 13th and Evil Dead. After the announcement of the casting of season 10 by Ryan Murphy, fans do not know which foot to dance on. While some envision a season dedicated to urban legends and can be related to AHS: Roanoke (season 6), others imagine mermaids and other aquatic monsters. One of Murphy's latest posts lists Provincetown MA as a geographic location tag, and a few clicks are enough to understand why. The most valiant will not hesitate to type "The Black Flash of Provincetown" on Google, to perhaps discover the real theme of this mysterious season… Far from being completed, production began in October 2020 and should end in 2021, for a likely broadcast next fall. On the casting side, spectators will find Kathy Bates, Billie Lourd, Sarah Paulson … and Macaulay Culkin, who will make his first appearance in the series.

Euphoria – season 2
The drama series phenomenon Euphoria, broadcast since June 2019 has made its comeback with two special episodes. The first was released in early December, and the second scheduled for January 25, 2021. It will focus on Jules, played by Hunter Schafer, one of the two heroines of the series. Enough to make fans wait for season 2, whose filming has been postponed because of the health crisis. If you haven't watched it yet, it's not too late to start. The story?Bennett Street, returns to high school after being in a rehab center. She meets Jules Vaughn, new to the establishment. The two girls become attached to each other very quickly, and we can see their relationship evolve over the episodes. Euphoria was created by Sam Levison, who drew inspiration from his youth for the screenplay. The first season made a strong impression. It accurately depicts the daily life of teenagers who grow up and build themselves, going through sometimes difficult times. Many themes are addressed such as love, violence, addiction, rejection… So far, nothing more than the classic series aimed at teenagers. But the acting, with actress and singer Zendaya in the foreground, brings a whole new dimension to the story. The artistic direction also sublimated the scenes, with, among other things, an original and colorful makeup. Season 2, scheduled for early 2020 promises to be rich in twists and turns! We look forward to seeing it arrive on our screens. But before that, see you at the end of January.
La Casa de Papel – Season 5
Another highly anticipated series for 2021: La casa de papel, season 5! At the end of season 4 (released on April 3, 2020) many questions arise. The protagonists of the famous Spanish series have succeeded in the "Paris" plan thanks to which Lisbon (Itziar Ituno ) is brought back inside the bank while Gandia (Jose Manuel Poga) the head of security, is neutralized. At the level of the hostages, it is once again Arturo Roman (Enrique Arce) who attracts the wrath of his companions: Accused of touching, the latter was shot by Manila (Bélen Cuesta) robber infiltrated among the hostages. Unfortunately for the impatient, the season ends on a cliffhanger of the most breathless. 2 minutes from the end of the last episode, The Professor (Alvaro Morte ) finds himself face to face with the hateful Alicia Sierra (Najwa Nimri) who robs him with a gun. Many guesses have been proposed by fans of the series. Would Alicia finally be on the side of the robbers? Will she give birth in the Professor's hideout? Will Arturito die? Did the Professor once again have "EVERYTHING" planned? What's going to happen? How will Tokyo (Ursula Corbero), Rio (Miguel Herran) and the others manage to get out of their heist if the Professor is half-offside? So many questions that will only be answered at the release of season 5, whose production was launched on July 27 in Denmark.
Falcon and The Winter Soldier
After a year 2020 devoid of Marvel feature films, we are looking forward to the first series stamped Marvel that will be broadcast at Disney +. WandaVision will open hostilities in January 2021. A tantalizing pitch, two singular protagonists who have not had an interesting exploitation time in the films dedicated to the Avengers … Several strong arguments that could have included this series in our list. However, we decided to stop on Falcon and the Winter Soldier… The show arrives on March 19 on the Disney streaming platform. One of the themes exploited is the weight of the legacy left by the disappearance of Steve Rogers, the former Captain America. It is not easy to take over from an icon and it will be interesting to analyze the choices made by our duo. In a world sinking into darkness, the threats intensify for the Falcon and Bucky. Some seem to have ideals similar to Red Skull, the nemesis of their mentor. The combination of the talents of the two former sidekicks should make sparks. The hawk who inherits the role of successor did not take the costume to the star-spangled banner, but he did make some welcome changes to the design of his costume. Although he is aware of his new responsibilities, he has decided to bring a touch of lightness to his new life. A state of mind that we understand given the magnitude of his task. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSqf6f8ZWHQ&ab_channel=FilmsActu Like The Mandalorian, the Marvel show benefits from considerable resources. All the ingredients are in place to make Falcon and the Winter Soldier, a series that will mark spring on Disney +. We hope this top has you more, we are waiting for your feedback on our Instagram and Facebook on THE series you are most looking forward to in 2021!
