Rather than base its annual rankings on statistical samplings or reviews from professional critics, IMDb determines its lists by the actual page views of the more than 200 million monthly visitors to IMDb. This data is derived from the IMDbPro movie and TV rankings, which are updated weekly throughout the year.

The most anticipated new series of 2023 include:

• “The Last of Us”
• “Secret Invasion”
• “The Fall of the House of Usher”
• “Love and Death“
• “Ahsoka“
• “Masters of the Air“

“IMDb customers are anticipating tales of iconic childhood characters like Barbie, Ariel, and Winnie-the-Pooh, as well as new storylines from popular video game franchises, ‘Mario,’ and ‘The Last of Us,'” Nikki Santoro, IMDb chief operating officer, said in a statement.
