Though the era of peak television may be behind us, there are still plenty of titles hitting network TV and streamers this year, from “Survivor” Season 50 to a fifteen-years-in-the-making “Scrubs” reboot.

Netflix hits like “Bridgerton” and “One Piece” will return to the streamer this year, alongside comedy specials from “SNL” star Marcello Hernández and others. Highly anticipated TV moments are also on the way, including the final season of “Euphoria” and a new installment of Starz’s “Outlander.” Patrick Dempsey will make his return to broadcast television with Fox’s “Memory of a Killer.”

For Taylor Sheridan fans, several “Yellowstone” spinoffs are on the horizon this year. New seasons of “Industry,” “Tell Me Lies” and “The Pitt” arrive this January, and later this spring, reality star Taylor Frankie Paul will look for love on a season of “The Bachelorette.”

Keep reading for your full guide to the premiere dates for 2026 television. New titles will be added to this list as they are announced.
