There are hundreds of TV shows launching in 2026. Scripted dramas. Reality shows. Limited series. Streaming exclusives. Network staples. Shows returning after years off the air.
It’s a lot to keep track of.
This page is my running list of every premiere date I can confirm across all platforms for the year. I’ll update it throughout 2026 as new dates get announced, moving each month to the top as it arrives.
