Paramount+ has announced that the fourth and final season of the time-hopping mystery thriller series Yellowjackets will premiere on November 20, 2026. Season 4 looks to depict the rescue of the girls from the wilderness as it simultaneously wraps up the story of their future selves.

Jack Reacher (Alan Rtichson) and his old pal Frances Neagley (Maria Sten) will both be back on Prime Video this fall, as the streamer announced not only the premiere date of Reacher: Season 4, but also the first season of the spin-off Neagley, a wholly original series that follows the latter character as she works as a private investigator in Chicago. Reacher: Season 4, meanwhile, will be based on the Lee Child novel Gone Tomorrow.

Slow Horses: Season 6 – September 16, 2026

Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) and his Slough House agents are set to return to Apple TV on September 16.
