Yes. It’s true. Fan-favorite shows like Game of Thrones, Jane the Virgin and Orange Is the New Black will end in 2019. But we have good news: There’s a long list of new TV spinoff shows to look forward to. From a prequel to GoT to a mysterious twist on Pretty Little Liars, 2019 and the coming years are filled with TV show spinoffs and reboots we can’t wait to watch.
But what will these spinoffs be about and which canceled and soon-to-be-canceled shows will be rebooted? Well, we did some digging and came up with 10 popular TV shows (and a couple movies) that will return to the small screen soon in the form of spinoffs. Who knows if these spinoffs will do as well as the original shows (Breaking Bad‘s Better Call Saul is still on, but then again, there was Ravenswood, the one-season spinoff of Pretty Little Liars)? What we do know is they’re worth a watch, regardless if they can match their mother show’ success.
And so before we mourn the loss of GoT and other great shows ending this year, let’s look forward to the exciting TV spinoff shows to come. Find out more ahead and get watching.
The Perfectionists (Pretty Little Liars spinoff)
A spinoff of Pretty Little Liars, which ended in 2017, The Perfectionists will follow Alison DiLaurentis and Mona Vanderwaal (two charaters from the original series) as they explore the secrets of Beacon Heights, a new town shrouded in mystery after its first murder. The spinoff, which will come to Freeform in 2019 and is based on the Sara Shepard’s book of the same title, will also star The Descendants‘ Sofia Carson and The Walking Dead‘s Sydney Park.

Jane the Virgin spinoff
Jane the Virgin will end in 2019 with its fifth and final season, but Jane Villanueva’s stories will live on in a planned spinoff. The spinoff, by Jane‘s creator Jennie Urman Snyder and star Gina Rodriguez, will be a telenovela-inspired anthology where each season is a different fictional novel written and narrated by Jane herself, according to Deadline. Per Deadline, first season will follow a story titled Tar & Roses, which takes place at the intersection of Napa’s wine country and San Francisco’s art scene. There have also been talks of a spinoff following Jaime Camil’s Rogelio de la Vega, though it seems The CW is going with this route.
