Beef: Season 2 – April 16, 2026
The acclaimed Netflix series from Lee Sung Jin and A24 returns with an all-new cast and an all-new story about viciously aired grievances. This time around, a young couple witnesses a fight between their boss and his wife, setting off a chain of events that upturns the community at the country club where they work. The new cast includes some heavy hitters, including Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, and Cailee Spaeny, with Lee returning as showrunner.
Bridgerton: Season 4 – Part 1 Jan. 29 and Part 2 Feb. 26
In early 2025, Netflix delivered a behind-the-scenes look at the highly anticipated fourth season of Bridgerton. Now that an official trailer dropped, fans can expect the fourth season to follow Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson, and introduce new character Sophia Baek, played by Yerin Ha. Most of the third season’s ensemble is slated to return, including cast members Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Nicola Coughlan, Luke Newton, Ruth Gemmell, Claudia Jessie, Adjoa Andoh, and Golda Rosheuvel.
The Pitt: Season 2 – January 8, 2026
Fans of HBO’s popular medical drama, The Pitt, can rest easy into the new year because the network has finally announced the premiere date of Season 2 — and it’s just around the corner. R. Scott Gemmill’s show quickly won over audiences and critics (and a slew of nominations) when it had its world premiere in early this year. Now, viewers are gearing up for the next chapter exactly one year later on January 8.
The Boys: Season 5 – April 8, 2026
At Brazils CCXP event, Prime Video not only announced the premiere date of the fifth and final season of The Boys, but also dropped a teaser trailer (see above). The new season, which will drop its first two episodes on April 8 and release new episodes weekly, will see Butcher (Karl Urban), Hughie (Jack Quaid), and the gang try to take down Homelander (Antony Starr) once and for all. In a fun bit of fan-service stunt casting, Jared Padalecki joins the cast in a reunion with his Supernatural co-star Jensen Ackles, who will reprise his role as Soldier boy.
