Building on earlier 2026 TV previews highlighting revivals and January launches, fresh coverage from IndieWire and the Lewiston Tribune spotlights 40-50 anticipated series, introducing new standouts like Ryan Murphy's horror 'The Beauty' alongside spinoffs and originals across platforms.
Recent previews expand the 2026 TV landscape with diverse new series, complementing prior reports on early premieres like Netflix's 'His and Hers' and revivals such as 'Scrubs' and 'The Night Manager' S2.
Confirmed early highlights, as previously noted, include HBO's 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' (Jan. 18, 'Game of Thrones' prequel with Peter Claffey), Disney+'s 'Wonder Man' (Jan. 27, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in a meta superhero tale), and Hulu's 'The Testaments' ('Handmaid's Tale' sequel, April).
New buzz focuses on FX's 'The Beauty' (Jan. 21), Ryan Murphy's horror with Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, and Ashton Kutcher about a perfection virus sparking murders in fashion. Peacock's 'The 'Burbs' reboot (Feb. 8) stars Keke Palmer in a horror-comedy update of the 1989 film; NBC's 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins' (Feb. 23) features Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe in comedy.
Upcoming include Amazon's 'Scarpetta' (March, Nicole Kidman), PBS's 'The Count of Monte Cristo' (March 22, Sam Claflin, Jeremy Irons), and the final 'The Boys' S5 (April). These additions signal strong Emmy potential amid shifting schedules.
