The 59 Best New Shows of 2026 (and 2 More We Can't Wait For)
By Google News TV ·
His & Hers (Netflix) Netflix has been really good of late at the pulpy, potboiler, limited series, and His & Hers is the latest in that winning streak. The show follows a detective (Jon Bernthal) and his estranged journalist wife (Tessa Thompson) as they both hunt for answers when a local woman—whom they both have a close connection to—winds up dead.
Based on Alice Feeney's book of the same name, His & Hers is exactly how this kind of show should be: Juicy, fun, easy to watch, and filled with really good actors.Stream It Here A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (HBO) In shrinking its story down to a more intimate one that takes place between the margins of major universe events, Game of Thrones takes a page out of the Andor handbook with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
(based on George R.R.
Martin's Dunk and Egg novellas). This short series, which follows a big, humble, anxious hedge knight (former professional rugby playerPeter Claffey)and his little friend/squire (Dexter Sol Ansell) is a true breath of fresh air for Thrones fans on both a story and character level. It's a delight.Stream It Here Ponies (Peacock) Doesn't the premise of Ponies just sound fun?
This spy series set in '70s Moscow follows a pair of women working with the CIA who find themselves at the midst of a vast conspiracy when their husbands both die under mysterious circumstances. And those women are played by The White Lotus's Haley Lu Richardson and Game of Thrones queen Emilia Clarke.
Sometimes something that sounds like a winner just turns out to be one.Stream It Here The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins (NBC/Peacock) This show about a disgraced former football player (Tracy Morgan) and a documentary filmmaker following him (Daniel Radcliffe) comes from the team behind 30 Rock, so you know you're going to get several jokes per minute. Plus, Morgan and Radcliffe are no slouches themselves.
The show had a special debut in January and will continue on a regular schedule later in February.Stream It Here Wonder Man (Disney+) At the very least, Wonder Man is among the best shows Marvel ever made—and you could make a case that it's at the top of the list.
Yahya Abdul Mateen II plays the titular hero (aka actor Simon Williams) as the kind of guy we love to love in this sort of story: humble, well-meaning, charismatic, and ambitious. But when he meets fellow actor (and former fake terrorist) Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley) and learns that his favorite movie from childhood is being remade by an acclaimed director, everything changes.
Wonder Man isn't just a good Marvel show, but a good show about people, movies, and friendship period. Let's hope the MCU takes notes from what worked so well here and keeps the streak going in the future.Stream It Here The Muppet Show (ABC/Disney+) One of America's great cultural institutions made its grand return in 2026: The Muppet Show!
This version—coming from executive producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg—is directly modeled on the original Muppet Show, which means special guests, musical performances, comedy sketches, and lots of fun. The first episode, which featured special guest star Sabrina Carpenter, was an absolute delight for anyone who likes Kermit, Miss Piggy, and friends (or who just likes laughing and having a good time).
For now, it's just this one episode, but if the reaction is strong enough (and it seems like it might be), the show will come back in full.Stream It Here Love Story (FX) The latest entry in producer Ryan Murphy's…
