40 Shows We Can't Wait to Watch in 2026 | TV/Streaming | Roger Ebert
"While the streaming (and now TikTok) era has changed how people watch TV, the fundamentals remain the same: people will always be drawn to storytelling and characters that entertain, move, thrill, or even surprise them. Sometimes it's easy to see a new critical darling coming ("Pluribus"), while sometimes a new hit comes entirely out of nowhere (" The Pitt "). We've highlighted a blend of the two in these 40 shows across multiple streaming services, including new projects from major creative talents."
"We've cheated a little by jumping most of January-we too can't wait for season two of "The Pitt," season three of "Shrinking," the launch of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," the return of "The Night Manager" and Netflix's "His & Hers," but all of those will be thoroughly reviewed here very shortly."
Streaming and short-form platforms have shifted viewing habits, but storytelling and compelling characters remain central to audience engagement. Predictable critical darlings and surprise hits both emerge, and a mix of anticipated successes and unexpected breakout shows is arriving. Forty upcoming series across multiple streaming services feature projects from notable creatives and returning seasons like The Pitt season two and Shrinking season three. Adaptations and high-profile productions such as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and a new take on The Age of Innocence are included. Titles range from heist dramas to costume period pieces, and release dates may change.
