We’re also looking forward to watching new seasons of shows we love like What We Do in the Shadows and Good Trouble, a spin-off of the hit show The Fosters. 2024 is already slated to be a great year for Latinxs in television, so read on to learn more about 11 TV shows starring Latinx talent that are slated to premiere this year.

But it’s clear that between her tense relationship with her daughter and her struggling company, she’s worried that she may have chosen the wrong path in her life and nothing now is what she thought it would be.
