Channel Surfing: Awesome TV picks for the week of 12/30/2024

Our Channel Surfing TV picks are bringing some scares to you in the new year.

Our Channel Surfing TV picks are bringing some scares to you in the new year. Take a deeper dive into the horror genre in a new season of Horror’s Greatest. There’s an unexpected selection to the Devil King’s army in Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!. Then, the Immortal Universe continues with the second season of Mayfair Witches

A Celebration of Horror

Horror’s Greatest is a documentary series that explores the titular genre. It provides interviews with key figures in the field while providing fresh takes on the classics and unearthing hidden gems for viewers.

The new season looks to cover even more sub-genres and popular tropes found in horror films. Subjects include animal attacks, killer dates, hidden gems, film scores, and space horror. It’s a must watch for any fan.

Horror’s Greatest season two premieres Tuesday, December 31, on Shudder. 

Impressing the Big Boss

Much like many anime series, Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four! has an interesting concept. The Demon King has four leaders that reign over an alternate world. As you’d expect, there are a bunch of fearsome members amongst these Four Heavenly Kings, but that’s not a word you would use to describe Uchimura Dennosuke.

After all, he is a regular executive at a boring company. Maybe it’s that leadership quality that the Devil King finds impressive since he handpicks Dennosuke to be part of his Big Four. The new position is just one dangerous mission after another so our salaryman must put his white collar business mind to good use or he may not last very long. 

Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four! launches Wednesday, January 1, on Crunchyroll.

Killing the Devil

When we last left Mayfair Witches, Dr. Rowan Fielding gave birth to a child who be another coming of the powerful entity, Lasher. However, before the baby could be taken away, Fielding runs away with her child.

In season two, Fielding wants to understand whether her kid is either human or monster, and whether she can use the potential demon for good and aid in her healing abilities. But those plans take a back seat when the rest of her family is put in danger and she must react to protect them. 

The new season of Mayfair Witches begins Sunday, January 5, on AMC.
