2026 has already brought us a slew of some pretty great releases... but there's so much more to come. From the return of one of Marvel's most popular shows to a trip back to Westeros, new DC shows, and much more, there is a ton to keep track of, and that is where we come in.
Below, we've rounded up all the most exciting upcoming TV Shows heading our way in order of release date. Here you'll find everything from the upcoming Disney Plus series Daredevil: Born Again season 2 to the Chase Infiniti-led drama The Testaments. We're even keeping track of series that don't have a set release date yet, just so you know what's next to come.
Upcoming 2026 TV shows
Daredevil: Born Again season 2
Release date: March 24, 2026
Available on: Disney Plus
Daredevil: Born Again is coming back to Disney Plus exactly one year after its debut in 2025, and things are about to get even bloodier than before. Charlie Cox is returning as Matt Murdock alongside Vincent D'Onofrio as Mayor Wilson Fisk and the surprising (and celebrated) addition of Krysten Ritter reprising her role as Jessica Jones for the first time since 2019. The new season has a lot to wrestle with after the Daredevil: Born Again season 1 finale, including violent civil unrest on the streets of Hell's Kitchen and Kingpin declaring martial law in New York. The new Daredevil: Born Again season 2 trailer teases an upcoming showdown between Fisk's anti-vigilante task force and Daredevil. There's also a surprise glimpse at Foggy Nelson, who was unceremoniously killed at the beginning of the first scene. Might this be a flashback, or something more?
For All Mankind Season 5
Release date: March 27, 2026
Available on: Apple TV
For All Mankind is one of the best sci-fi shows out there, and we've been waiting patiently for its fifth season ever since 2024. Created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi, the show offers us an alternative version of history where the space race never ended. For All Mankind Season 5's synopsis teases that this time we'll see the story "pick up in the years since the Goldilocks asteroid heist" with colonies forming and tension between the people who live on Mars and their former home rising. Season 5 will have 10 episodes for us to dig our teeth into and will be releasing weekly episodes up until May 29, 2026.
Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord
Release date: April 6, 2026
Available on: Disney Plus
It's the Maul the merrier on Disney Plus as the twin-blade-wielding Sith makes his grand return as part of new animated series Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord. From what we've seen so far, it adds an extra edge to the action, with star Sam Witwer also reprising his role as Maul. There's some added intrigue, too, as he has picked up an apprentice and appears to be gunning for both the Empire and anyone else who might stand in his way. Seeing as how we don't quite know how the villain's story comes to a close in a galaxy far, far away, this could be a dark horse for one of the more compelling Star Wars projects over the next few years.
The Boys season 5
Release date: April 8, 2026
Available on: Prime Video
Everyone's favourite superhero series will be getting its final season come April, and we are super excited about it. The Boys season 5 will revolve around wrapping up the story once and for all, be that with the supe-killing virus that Butcher has, or by Homelander destroying the world, is yet to be seen. While we are sad to see The Boys coming to an end in 2026, we also know that there are still more spin-offs heading our way, so the new season should also lay the groundwork for the upcoming shows that are on the near horizon as well.
The Testaments
Release date: April 8, 2026
Available on: Hulu/Disney Plus
Need more Handmaid's Tale in your life? The Testaments is set to deliver. Set years after the conclusion of the original series, One Battle After Another, breakout Chase Infiniti as part of a "new generation" of women suffering in Gilead. Based on Margaret Atwood's 2019 novel, The Testaments, Ann Dowd keeps some connective tissue between The Handmaid's Tale as the devilish Aunt Lydia, with creator Bruce Miller hoping lightning can strike twice with the series.
Stranger Things: Tales from ’85
Release date: April 23, 2026
Available on: Netflix
The main Stranger Things series may be over, but Netflix is far from done with the IP. Stranger Things: Tales From '85 is an upcoming animated show that will be set between seasons 2 and 3 or the main story. While we don't know a lot of details about this offshoot, we do know that there will be new monsters and a fresh adventure involving the Upside Down yet again with Stranger Things staple characters too. Hopefully, this animated venture can bring us all together after that very decisive season 5 ending.
Devil May Cry season 2
Release date: May 12, 2026
Available on: Netflix
Season 2 of the Capcom video game adaptation is arriving on Netflix in just a few months. "I'm allergic to formula. I dislike when successful shows turn into comfort food," showrunner Adi Shankar has said. "Devil May Cry won’t be TV that loops. My mission for season 2 was to capture the feeling of a 2000s film franchise entry where the audience can’t predict the next turn." Season 1 proved to be a huge hit for Netflix, so let's see if the next installment in Dante's adventures can match its predecessor.
Good Omens season 3
Release date: May 13, 2026
Available on: Prime Video
It's been almost three years since season 2 aired, but Good Omens season 3 is very much still happening and will be hitting our small screens on May 13. However, before we get too excited, this isn't going to be a regular full season, but instead just a single 90-minute episode to wrap up the story for good. As a Terry Pratchett fan girl, Good Omens holds a special place in my heart, so I'm excited to finally see the adaptation get a proper end. Hopefully, Crowley and Aziraphale will get reunited!
Rick and Morty season 9
Release date: May 24, 2026
Available on: HBO Max/Hulu
Though it hasn't even been a full year since season 8, season 9 is already almost upon us. The synopsis reads, "Rick and Morty is back, baby! Season Nine is all certified bangers. No AI slop! Just Grade A organic slop, made by real humans with real human traits like back hair and cysts. Please watch, or we'll have neglected our families for nothing." Oh, and season 10 is currently in development.
Spider-Noir
Release date: May 25/May 27, 2026
Available on: MGM+/Prime Video
Nicolas Cage reprises his character from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in the spin-off series Spider-Man Noir, releasing this Spring on MGM+ and Prime Video. The show is getting a black-and-white release alongside a "period-inspired" color version. Set in an alternate 1930s New York, the show follows P.I. Ben Reilly (Cage) as he deals with a spider bite that gives him the ability to spin webs and swing through the Big Apple.
Cape Fear
Release date: June 5, 2026
Available on: Apple TV
A fresh take on Cape Fear is arriving soon to Apple TV. The show, based on Martin Scorsese's 1991 thriller (which is based on the 1957 John D. MacDonald's novel titled The Executioners), stars Javier Bardem, Amy Adams, and Patrick Wilson. Bardem plays Max Cady, a killer who is planning revenge against the attorneys who sent him to prison: Wilson's Tom and Adams' Anna.
Sugar season 2
Release date: June 19, 2026
Available on: Apple TV
Fresh off one of the more mind-bending plot twists in recent years, Colin Farrell's John Sugar is back on the case for a second season that pretty much demands to be watched once you know about that character reveal. Sugar season 2 sees John "tracking the troubled older brother of an up-and-coming local boxer as his search for his beloved missing sister continues". The synopsis continues, "As the investigation expands into a city-wide conspiracy with sinister intentions, Sugar must reckon with himself to answer the question – how far will he go to do what’s right?"
House of the Dragon season 3
Release date: June 2026
Available on: HBO Max
That's right, another upcoming Game of Thrones show is releasing in 2026, and it also just so happens to be the next installment of one of the best HBO Max shows on streaming right now as well. House of the Dragon season 3 may not have a release date yet, but since it has officially wrapped filming and likely won't want to clash with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, we are predicting we will see it sometime around June. That's just speculation on our part, but what we do know is that the Targaryens are still fighting, and that their upcoming antics will be leading us to the events of the already confirmed House of the Dragon season 4.
Lucky
Release date: July 15, 2026
Available on: Apple TV
Lucky is a limited series hailing from Apple TV, which stars Anya Taylor-Joy in her first television role since 2020's Netflix hit The Queen's Gambit. "When a multi-million-dollar heist goes sideways, con artist Lucky is forced to go on the run. Pursued by both the FBI and a ruthless crime boss, Lucky must fight for her life – and a way out," reads the synopsis. The first, action-packed trailer has already been released.
TBC 2026 TV shows
Ted Lasso season 4
Release date: Summer 2026
Available on: Apple TV
Jason Sudeikis's titular character proved he can get knocked down and get up again when Ted Lasso was greenlit for a surprise new season, following its third and final chapter aired in spring 2023. In the new installment, the optimistic football-loving mogul is set to return to the world of goals and knee-high socks as a coach for a local women's team. And this time? He's sharing the sideline with Sex Education star Tanya Reynolds.
Hannah Waddingham will also be back as Rebecca Welton, as will Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent and Annette Badland as pub owner Mae.
Lanterns
Release date: August 2026
Available on: HBO Max
The next small-screen installment in James Gunn's DCU Chapter One is Lanterns. The new series will follow veteran member of intergalactic peacekeeping organization the Green Lantern Corps Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) as he trains up new recruit John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) while they investigate a murder in Nebraska. Gunn has previously compared the show to True Detective and The Leftovers showrunner Damon Lindelof is on board as co-creator, so we're expecting big things. The show was initially rumored to premiere in the first few months of 2026, but HBO surprised fans by officially announcing the later release window back in November. With Supergirl geared up to hero-land in cinemas on June 26, comic book lovers have now been left wondering whether it'll arrive before or after we catch up with Superman's wild cousin Kara Zor-El.
VisionQuest
Release date: TBC 2026
Available on: Disney Plus
It's been a long time coming, considering that VisionQuest was announced to be in development all the way back in 2022, but we finally know that the upcoming Marvel show will be with us sometime in late 2026. Created by Terry Matalas, the upcoming series focuses on the superpowered android and former Avenger known as Vision; however, reports on the portnetail story of the show indicate that he could technically be "White Vision" now. In classic Marvel fashion, plot details are being kept secret at the moment, so keep your eye on this page for more updates.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2
Release date: TBC 2026
Available on: Disney Plus
If you love animation and superheroes as much as we do, chances are you are excited for the upcoming release of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 2 as well. Set in an alternate timeline to the rest of the MCU movies and shows that have Spidey in them, this series is an origin story following a Peter Parker who gets his abilities through a temporal paradox thanks to Doctor Stranger's antics. The style of the first season blew us away, and we can't wait to see what the next outing brings us.
