If the year 2025 was a remastered experience for television, then 2026 brings back double the amount of that fun. Big franchises are returning, seasons that were postponed will finally reach us, while some new shows are also going to make their presence felt. This isn't just going to be a binge-watching experience, because some of the series are taking their narratives ahead in exciting new directions in 2026.Starting from jump-out-of-your-seat ER drama and glittering period pieces to MCU meta adventures, and adrenaline-charged spy sagas, here are five series that showcase vastly different milieus. Nevertheless, they share one thing in common: they have a huge fan-following that's surely talking about them. Let's take a look at these five series to watch for in 2026, ranging from The Pitt Season 2 to The Night Agent Season 3 below.The Pitt Season 2 View this post on Instagram Instagram PostIn case you just watched The Pitt in 2025 and you are still shaken by that dramatic season finale, you are not alone. The gritty medical drama, the one that is more of ER with real-time urgency, is back. The Pitt Season 2 will debut on January 8, 2026 on HBO Max and a day afterward on JioHotstar in India.This time around, the action takes place in a disorganized fourth of July weekend shift, approximately ten months or so after the events of Season 1. Watch out for fireworks-style crises, technical breakdowns, malpractice anxiety, and newcomers to the ER, all overlaid with the fast-paced, emotionally charged format of the show.Wonder Man View this post on Instagram Instagram PostCalling all Marvel fans! Wonder Man has already become one of the most discussed upcoming shows of 2026, set to release on January 27, 2026, on Disney+.The series features Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as a struggling Hollywood actor named Simon Williams, who suddenly acquires actual superpowers. The very reality of superhero threat works with a very real on-set anarchy, it is a clever, meta arrangement.Given that Ben Kingsley is back as the endlessly unpredictable Trevor Slattery, Wonder Man will be an enjoyable dose of comedy, cosmic power, and MCU weirdness of the days of the past, and that is precisely what makes it thrilling.Euphoria Season 3 View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe cultural phenomenon of the teen drama returns with Season 3 in April 2026, and is now growing up.

The mess is not going away, however. Get ready to witness the same raw feelings, clumsy relationship dynamics and dreamy looks but this time around in a new, more unsure stage of adult life after high school.Bridgerton Season 4 View this post on Instagram Instagram PostRegency fashion, purloined glances in glittering ballrooms and that instantly recognisable orchestral pop soundtrack are in the equation.
