Netflix has teased its slate of returning TV shows for 2026, releasing a video offering a glimpse of what is to come over the next 12 months. Following a major 2025 that saw the final seasons of Stranger Things and Squid Game alongside the return of Wednesday, the streamer is now focusing on a new batch of seasons.
One of the biggest returning properties is Bridgerton, back for a fourth season centred on Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and his Cinderella-inspired romance with Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha). The first four episodes arrive on January 29, with the final four following on February 26.
Also returning for a second season is sci-fi epic 3 Body Problem, from the creators of Game of Thrones, expected to deepen geopolitical stakes as the Wallfacers counter the Trisolaran threat. Beef, meanwhile, returns on April 16 with a brand-new cast led by Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny. Other second-season renewals include Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen and British spy thriller Black Doves.
Two major live-action adaptations are also back: Avatar: The Last Airbender gets a second season in 2026, and One Piece returns on March 10 with its second season titled Into the Grand Line. Romcom Nobody Wants This is renewed for a third season, while political thriller The Night Agent returns on February 19.
Additional returning shows include French thriller Lupin for a fourth season in autumn, fantasy epic The Witcher for a fifth season, and hit drama The Hunting Wives for a second. Behind-the-scenes wrestling docuseries WWE: Unreal returns on January 20, and Formula 1 documentary Drive to Survive returns in February.
