Google has not shared much details about Android 12 for Android TVs. But it is likely that the new features will be known soon as it is already been made available for the developers.
Reportedly, there may be some big feature enhancements including support for HEVC (high efficiency video coding) transcoding and multi channel audio. Typically, Google releases the first Android TV preview a few months after the first Android developer preview rolls out. But this year, Google is rolling it out at the same time. This may play a significant role in speeding up its adoption.
