Partnering with predictive media analytics company Diesel Labs, Screen Rant has exclusive data analyzing new TV releases with the most online chatter before their debuts.

The most-anticipated new releases of April 2025 are ranked by Attention Signals, which are calculated using measures such as likes, shares, comments, and views on social and video channels like Facebook and YouTube.
