It seems a bit premature, but we wanted to have a place to start tracking upcoming Netflix Originals set to hit our screens in 2026. This is an extension to our 2025 movie and TV schedule, which we’ll continue to update throughout the year.

Of course, Netflix’s development slate is undoubtedly much bigger than this list implies, with well over 1,000 projects announced or in development behind the scenes, though many will not see the light of day. Below, we’ve featured all the titles most likely to be released or have been confirmed, rather than those far out. Titles in that category would include Scooby Doo and Assassin’s Creed, for instance.

Important note: Given the considerable time remaining until 2026, everything on this list is subject to change. We’ll keep it updated throughout 2025 and into 2026 with the latest release confirmations.

Expanded versions of this list, focusing on all upcoming English-language movies and series, can be found at the links provided.
