A selection of the Netflix shows we're excited to binge-watch in 2026

In 2025, Netflix gave audiences some of the year’s most iconic TV moments, including new shows like Adolescence and returning favourites including Wednesday, Squid Game, Selling Sunset and, of course, Stranger Things.

Looking ahead to the next 12 months, the streamer has even more planned to make us laugh, cry and swoon, with some of our favourite shows returning, as well as final farewells to old friends and, of course, new TV obsessions.

Here are 19 of the Netflix series we’re most looking forward to in 2026…

Queer Eye

The Fab Five is in Washington D.C. for Queer Eye’s10th and final season.

Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness and newer addition Jeremiah Brent are all back to help people transform their lives through style, grooming, interior design, culture and cooking tips.

Jonathan recently admitted that filming the show in Washington D.C, in the current political climate was especially “surreal.”

“It was really such a great experience,” they said on their podcast. “Wrapping everything up in Washington D.C. was, visually, very pretty. It’s a really pretty city, but also very surreal.

“We started filming [Queer Eye during] Trump‘s first administration in Atlanta in 2017 … It was interesting to be back there in this atmosphere.”

The 10th and final season of Queer Eye arrives on Netflix on Wednesday 21 January.

The latest iteration of the spicy Regency drama Bridgerton kicks off in just a few weeks, following a new romance between Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek (played by Luke Thompson and newcomer Yerin Ha, respectively).

After meeting at Lady Bridgerton’s famed masquerade ball, Benedict embarks on a quest to track down a mysterious woman he meets at the event, who it transpires is not a member of society, but a maid to the formidable Lady Araminta Gun.

The fourth series also introduces Araminta’s daughters, Rosamund Li and Posy Li. Look out for familiar faces, too, including Jonathan Bailey, Nicola Coughlan and Simone Ashley.

The first half of Bridgerton’s fourth season premieres on 29 January, followed by the second part on 26 February.

After that shocking season three finale, The Lincoln Lawyer returns, with Manuel Garcia-Ruffo back in action as Mickey Haller, LA’s most dedicated defence attorney.

Inspired by Michael Connelly’s bestselling novel The Law Of Innocence, showrunners Ted Humphrey and Dailyn Rodriguez recently teased to Tudum: “Following the incredibly suspenseful and emotional climax of season three, the stakes have never been higher, because this time Mickey is the client.

“With his very life and reputation on the line, he’ll need the strength and support of his entire team, and his entire family, to fight for his future,” they revealed.

How I Met Your Mother’s Cobie Smulders, The Morning Show’s Sasha Alexander and Entourage’s Constance Zimmer are set to join the ensemble alongside the existing cast, which includes Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, and Neve Campbell.
