The Hands-Down Sexiest Shows on TV in 2018

If you're looking to lose yourself in a TV show that generates some serious heat, then you've come to the right place. Sexy might just be the watchword for the 2018 television season [1], because everyone from Netflix to PBS is serving up smoldering goodness. Whether you're looking for some NSFW hookups set against a sci-fi backdrop or a bit of good, old-fashioned (consensual) bodice-ripping [2], TV has you covered this year. From swoon-worthy romantic moments to passionate sex scenes you won't be able to believe made it to the small screen, these are the sexiest shows [3] of 2018.

Altered Carbon

Don't let the grimy, dystopian exterior fool you — Altered Carbon is one of the sexiest new shows of the year. In a world where bodies are regarded as little more than sleeves, the act of giving and receiving pleasure is unabashedly a favorite pastime for the characters. And yes, that means Joel Kinnaman's abs are on screen often enough to deserve their own credit.

Scandal

Just because Olivia Pope is saying goodbye this year doesn't mean she's not having fun in the show's final season. The fierce leader of the Gladiators is still having her share of smoking-hot encounters and making no apologies for it. Scandal [4] viewers will be happy to know that the show hasn't lost any of its heat after seven years of proudly being one of TV's sexiest shows.

American Crime Story: Versace

Make no mistake, there were plenty of gruesome and unsettling moments in American Crime Story: Versace [5] that won't stop haunting our dreams anytime soon. The series was about the chilling story of a real-life serial killer, after all. However, the show also served up some truly enticing and erotic scenes featuring its stars — Ricky Martin, Darren Criss, and your new TV boyfriend Édgar Ramírez.

Lucifer

Season three of Lucifer is the show's most sinful season yet. Tom Ellis has never been hotter as the world's most famous fallen angel, and despite being on Fox, the series is happy to push its PG-13 rating as far as it can go without the censors stepping in.

Station 19

This show is quite literally Grey's Anatomy [6] in a fire station, so there's no way it wasn't going to immediately declare itself a sexy new favorite. When they're not fighting fires, the employees of Station 19 make plenty of time to tear each other's clothes off (and thank goodness for that).

The Good Fight

Diane Lockhart is still fighting the good fight she started on The Good Wife, but now that she's been freed from the confines of network TV, she and her coworkers are also indulging in some of TV's best sex scenes. In truth, The Good Fight is one of the rare shows where everyone can remain fully clothed and still be hot as hell thanks to the sheer ambition and passion of the remarkable characters. However, when they do disrobe, no one is complaining.

Grey's Anatomy

Owen and Amelia, Jackson and Maggie, April and Vik Roy — even in season 14, Grey's Anatomy [7] continues to find new and stunningly attractive pairings for viewers to fall for. The show may be pushing two decades, but it's only gotten sexier with time.

Troy: Fall of a City

Netflix imported this swords and sandals show across the ocean for your viewing pleasure — emphasis on pleasure. The show serves up its first sultry sex scene within the first five minutes of the premiere, and things only get more provocative for Paris, Helen, and Achilles from there. This series might just make Netflix and chill a thing again.
