Highlights
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Season 2 – June 25, 2026
Aang, Katara, Sokka and the “Gaang” are officially back in live-action on Netflix on June 25, as the streamer announced with a brand new teaser. Season 2 of Avatar: The Last Airbender filmed back-to-back with season 3, which should also be the series’ final season if it follows suit from the original animated show, so it shouldn’t be too long before we get that third installment as well.
Elle: Season 1 – July 1, 2026
Prime Video has finally revealed the premiere date for Elle, its prequel series to the 2001 hit comedy Legally Blonde. The first season, which will debut in its entirety on July 1 on the streamer, follows a young Elle Woods (Lexi Minetree) in high school “as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman” originally played by Reese Witherspoon. In a bold show of confidence, Prime Video also announced that the show had already been renewed for a second season.
