Can't pick a show? This random TV show generator asks TMDB for something at random and shows you the poster, the year it premiered, its TMDB rating out of 10, a short summary and a link to its TMDB page. It only draws shows that at least 100 people have rated on TMDB, so you won't get a pilot nobody watched.
How to use the random TV show generator
- Set How many to the number of shows you want, from 1 to 8.
- Click Pick. The shows come straight from TMDB, so it can take a second.
- Not into any of them? Click New picks for a fresh set.
- Click Copy titles and search them on whatever you stream with. The generator doesn't know what's on Netflix or anywhere else, so check before you get attached.
A few ways to use it
- End the scroll: let it pick tonight's show instead of browsing menus for 40 minutes.
- Household vote: draw 3 and have everyone rank them.
- A month of random TV: watch the first episode of whatever it gives you, every day for 30 days. You'll hate some of them. That's half the fun.
- For the friend who says there's nothing to watch: draw one and send it over.
Frequently asked questions
How does the random TV show generator work?
TMDB sorts TV series by popularity, 20 to a page. The generator picks a random page (from the first 500 at most), then picks your shows at random from that page. Only series with 100 or more TMDB votes count, and adult titles are left out.
Can I get more than one show at once?
Yes, up to 8 per draw. You won't see the same show twice in one draw.
What genres are included?
Whatever TMDB lists as a TV series, so dramas, sitcoms, anime, crime shows, kids' cartoons and so on. There's no genre filter yet. If you only want sci-fi, you'll have to keep drawing.
Is it really random?
Yes. The page and the shows are picked with cryptographically secure randomness on our server. Popular shows sit on the earlier pages, but every page has the same chance of coming up, and no show pays to be included.
