Expanding on earlier 2026 TV previews, new buzz spotlights revivals like Scrubs and The Night Manager alongside early-year premieres across Netflix, HBO Max, Peacock, and more, blending nostalgia with fresh thrillers and dramas.
Entertainment previews from Time magazine and Metro.co.uk add to the excitement for 2026's TV slate, emphasizing January launches and revivals not widely covered previously.
Netflix kicks off with His and Hers on January 8, starring Tessa Thompson as a news anchor probing a hometown murder with Jon Bernthal as a cop suspect. Peacock's Ponies arrives January 15, featuring Haley Lu Richardson and Emilia Clarke as CIA widows unraveling 1977 Moscow mysteries.
Revivals shine early: The Night Manager season 2 premieres January 11 on HBO Max (and BBC One January 1), reuniting Tom Hiddleston and Olivia Colman. Scrubs returns February 25 on NBC, with Zach Braff, Donald Faison, and Sarah Chalke exploring post-internship life—Braff told TVLine it retains the 'bromance and friendship.'
Further highlights include HBO Max's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (Game of Thrones prequel, January 18, starring Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell), Disney+'s Wonder Man (January 27, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as a superpowered actor), and Hulu's The Testaments (April, Handmaid's Tale sequel with Chase Infiniti). Outlander wraps with season 8 on MGM+ March 7.
Bridgerton season 4 (Netflix, parts January 29/February 26) and The Boys season 5 (Prime Video, April 8) build anticipation as noted in prior coverage. These updates promise a genre-diverse year, subject to scheduling changes.
