Late October–December 2026: Key premieres and season returns
October 21 sees several notable returns and launches, including The Terminal List (Prime Video, Season 2) and Where’s Wanda?

Angel’s The Wingfeather Saga (Season 4) and Tubi’s docuseries Just One Before I Die also arrive that day.
Across the following week, Netflix’s Nobody Wants This (Season 3) and two new Netflix comedies — Did Someone Happen to Mention Me? and the dramedy Fading Grandeur — join Hulu’s docuseries Swipe Right on the Devil and NBC’s comedies Happy’s Place (Season 3) and new series Newlyweds.

By the end of October viewers can expect returns and new dramas including Dexter: Resurrection (Paramount+, Season 2), Apple TV’s new drama Nocturne, and multiple Netflix drama launches listed for October 30. The calendar also lists the Apple TV limited doc under The One About Matthew Perry and Shudder’s The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula (Season 7) in late October.
November features high-profile season premieres and new series across platforms: HBO’s The Gilded Age (Season 4) on November 1; NBC dramas St. Denis Medical (Season 3) and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins (Season 2) in early November; and Netflix animated limited series Bass X Machina on November 3.
Mid-November highlights include Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (Season 3) and a clutch of Netflix drama premieres such as The Body and ChiaroScuro. On November 20 Prime Video’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Season 3) and Showtime’s concluding season of Yellowjackets (Season 4) are scheduled.
Late November and December bring more streaming launches and returning franchises: Prime Video’s new drama Blade Runner 2099 on November 25; Netflix’s December limited dramas like Pride and Prejudice on December 3; Apple TV’s Bad Monkey (Season 2) on December 2; and holiday and year-end specials including Netflix’s docudramas and several final-season bows.
Several entries are listed as Fall TBA for broadcast series rolling into the 2026–27 season, from Netflix’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman (Season 7) to Magnolia’s Fixer Upper: We Bought a Money Pit and Discovery’s revived unscripted series such as Rescue 911.
Midseason and Spring 2027: TBA slate and network renewals
The calendar also compiles a large midseason and spring 2027 list of shows currently marked TBA. Network staples and reality formats expected back include ABC’s The Bachelor (Season 30) and American Idol (Season 25), CBS staples like Ghosts (Season 6) and Matlock (Season 3), and Fox programming from animation to competition, such as Family Guy (Season 25) and MasterChef (Season 17).
Streaming platforms previewed for spring include Netflix returns like Sakamoto Days (Season 2) and renewed tentpoles such as The Witcher (listed as Season 5; final season). New series and limited runs across HBO, PBS and Discovery also populate the TBA section, from PBS docu-miniseries to gritty cable dramas and docuseries on Investigation Discovery and National Geographic.
Early 2027: January–March highlights
Looking into 2027, early entries include ABC’s procedural The Rookie (Season 9) and the new spinoff The Rookie: North on January 6, plus Apple TV’s new drama The Wanted Man. PBS continues its long-running genealogy series with Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates Jr. (Season 13) on January 12.
Later in January and into February, the lineup lists streaming and broadcast launches such as Disney+’s Ahsoka (Season 2) and Prime Video’s new drama Bloodaxe, while Netflix is flagged for returning animated and drama series including Blue Eye Samurai (Season 2, January TBA) and several new comedy series slated for February.
March includes a potential return for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (Paramount+, Season 2) and other titles marked TBA across streaming services. The 2027 TBA list also includes numerous Netflix projects, HBO dramas and PBS miniseries whose exact premiere dates remain pending.
Shows that have already premiered in 2026
The schedule also records titles that launched earlier in 2026. January openings included Netflix’s drama Run Away, multiple live sports specials and network staples returning for midseason. Across January and the spring months, the list catalogues hundreds of premieres and returns: network dramas and procedurals, reality franchises, competition series and international dramas arriving on U.S. streaming platforms.
Examples from early 2026 include ABC and NBC series relaunches such as America’s Funniest Home Videos and hallmarks like When Calls the Heart, Netflix debuts including Synden and global formats from BritBox and Acorn TV. The calendar continues through spring and summer with major events — the Winter Olympics and MLB/NBA seasons — alongside serialized streaming premieres from Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, HBO and others.
Because the list is updated regularly, readers should expect adjustments: many entries remain tagged TBA or subject to network scheduling changes, and the calendar covers a mix of series premieres, season returns, limited runs and one-off live specials rather than theatrical films or standalone specials.
