2026 TV Premiere Dates: A Complete Guide For New & Returning Shows

With the number of streaming platforms, cable channels, and traditional broadcast networks, there is never a shortage of new TV shows, and the same can be said for what has premiered throughout 2026. Whether you’ve been looking for brand-new releases or shows returning in 2026, there’s something for everyone. You name it — crime dramas, procedurals, sports programming, superhero spinoffs, sitcoms, animated series, sci-fi thrillers, awards shows.

We’re now into the final months of 2026, but there are still plenty of debuts to look forward to, like Blade Runner 2099, Netflix’s Pride and Prejudice, and Frisco King. There will also be new seasons of fantasy epics The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Percy Jackson and the Olympians, both of which are returning in 2026 for their third seasons. Of course, we can’t bring up upcoming fantasy shows without mentioning HBO’s Harry Potter making its debut in December.

In an effort to keep the TV-obsessed in the loop with 2026’s TV premiere dates, ScreenRant put together a full guide of what’s releasing for the rest of the year (and beyond). The calendar list, which features titles from across all platforms, networks, and genres, will be frequently updated as more release dates are announced. To note, everything included in the list is based on US release dates.
