The 6 series at the beginning of 2026 that you can't miss

Quietly and without fanfare, we have already completed almost all of January 2026, and excuses like “The year has just started” or “It’s too early” no longer hold. They don’t work in your job and, of course, they don’t work in the audiovisual world, which has premiered filled with releases everywhere, movies that “you have to see” and “essential” series, the kind that change every week.

Quietly, we are already almost through January 2026, and excuses like “The year has just started” or “It’s too early” no longer hold. They don’t work in your job, and certainly, they don’t work in the audiovisual world, which has premiered filled with releases everywhere, movies that “you have to see” and “must-watch” series, the kind that change every week. However, there are always fantastic things to discover among the viral content and what is announced to you on TikTok. Grab the remote, because I’m going to guide you through those 6 incredible series from the beginning of 2026 that you can’t miss under any circumstances. And no, they are not the typical ones. Not all of them, at least.

The Pitt (season 2)

Is there really more to say? Doctor Robbie returns to The Pitt, just before taking a few months off, to meet his replacement in the emergency room during a July 4th that promises to be eventful. So far, in just two episodes, the structure of season 1 is repeated, and that is not a bad thing at all: very smart doctors, very sick patients, a lot of blood everywhere, plots that get worse over time, students eager to learn, and 15 hours ahead where you know things are not going to end well. A script marvel that also takes the opportunity to shake up AI. What more could you ask for?

The ‘Burbs

I have to admit that You Can’t Kill the Neighbor is one of my favorite movies from the late 80s, featuring a fantastic Tom Hanks and an unusual dose of dark humor for the time. Even viewed today, it is very entertaining, and perhaps that’s why I was so pleased to learn that its spirit will live again in The Burbs, produced by Seth McFarlane (Family Guy) and Brian Grazer, one of the most experienced producers in creating hits in Hollywood history. In total, there will be 8 episodes that we will see on February 8, and few things excite me more right now.

Scrubs (season 10)

Neither Grey’s Anatomy, nor ER, nor even The Pitt: my favorite medical series in history is Scrubs, which lasted 8 seasons from 2001 to 2009 and had a continuation in the form of a spin-off that was worthless. Now, to make up for the mistake, the original team returns in a season 10 where the characters have grown older (Zach Braff is 50 years old to still be doing “Eagle!” with Donald Faison) but the silliness is still the order of the day. We just have to see if they also remembered to include their heart. It premieres on February 25 on ABC, there will be 9 episodes, and it is still unknown where or when it will arrive on streaming in other countries. Let’s cross our fingers.

Young Sherlock

Fifteen years ago, Guy Ritchie directed Sherlock Holmes 2, but the idea of continuing with the world’s most famous detective has never left his mind. And for good reason: he has now taken the plunge to create Young Sherlock, the adaptation of the original novels by Andrew Lane that he wrote between 2010 and 2015. As it is, everything Ritchie does is, at the very least, interesting, and in this case, it seems he has stepped on the gas alongside Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Ralph Fiennes’ nephew. There will be 8 episodes that we will see on March 4 on Amazon Prime Video. Stay tuned!

Bronca (season 2)

I recognize that it makes me very angry when miniseries end perfectly and then it’s announced that there will be a season 2, but in the case of such a good production as Bronca, I can’t be upset. If the first batch of episodes had Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as psychopathic protagonists, this 2026 we will see Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan fighting against Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny for the favors of the owner of a country club. If it’s as good as the previous one, I wouldn’t mind if they make twenty more seasons. It will premiere on Netflix on April 16, by the way. Mark it down.

How to Get to Heaven from Belfast

I conclude with a series that many may have overlooked. But it shouldn’t be. After all, everything that the creator of Derry Girls, Lisa McGee, does should be followed with genuine passion. In this case, she has created for Netflix the story of three friends investigating the death of an old classmate over 8 episodes that will be released on February 12. Personally, I don’t need to know more to dive right into it: as long as it’s half as good as her previous series, we have gourmet dinner.

Peacock has announced the release date for its highly anticipated series based on ‘The Burbs’, which will premiere on February 8, 2026. This series is a adaptation of the classic 1989 comedy and mystery film that captured the audience’s attention with its dark sense of humor and portrayal of suburban life.

Reviving Classics

The protagonist of this new series will be Keke Palmer, known for her versatility as an actress and her ability to tackle both dramas and comedies. Palmer has been recognized for her work in various productions, and her performance is expected to bring a fresh and contemporary feel to the original narrative of ‘The Burbs’. The series will consist of a total of eight episodes, suggesting a deep exploration of the characters and their interactions in a disturbing suburban environment.

The first teaser for the series has been released, and we can get a first look at what it will be. The brief preview offers a glimpse into the intriguing and comedic atmosphere that fans can anticipate. This type of marketing strategy tends to be effective, especially for reviving the nostalgia of viewers who enjoyed the original film and attracting a new audience that may not be familiar with the 1989 work.

With the combination of the comedy and mystery characteristic of ‘The Burbs’, along with the presence of an rising star like Keke Palmer, the series has all the elements to become a success on the platform. Details about specific plots and additional characters have not yet been revealed, leading to speculation among fans that there will be interesting twists and surprises throughout the season.
