Netflix is gearing up for a packed 2026, promising a diverse slate of shows that cater to a wide range of tastes. The streaming giant is set to release a mix of literary adaptations, new seasons of popular series, and original content.

Collider has highlighted six of the most anticipated series. "Little House on the Prairie," arriving July 9, reimagines the classic story by focusing on the Ingalls family's settlement in 1870s Kansas. This version distinguishes itself by directly engaging with the Osage people, on whose land the Ingalls settled, and by casting Native actors. Creator Rebecca Sonnenshine described the series as a blend of family drama, survival epic, and origin story of the American West.

"The Hunting Wives" returns for its second season at the end of 2026. Despite not being initially predicted to be a hit, the series starring Brittany Snow and Malin Akerman became Netflix's most-watched show in the U.S. within a month of its July 2025 premiere. The upcoming season will unravel the chaos left by the first, with Snow and Akerman's characters in a "bad place" before old secrets and new enemies bring them back together.

Will Ferrell makes his television comedy debut in "The Hawk," premiering July 16. He plays Loni "The Hawk" Hawkins, a former world No. 1 golfer convinced he has one more major win in him, despite his ex-wife's doubts and his son's rising golf career. The Professional Golf Tour would prefer he retire, but Loni is determined to complete his Grand Slam.

Fall 2026 will see a new adaptation of "Pride & Prejudice." Netflix's take features Emma Corrin as Lizzie Bennet and Jack Lowden as Darcy, with Olivia Colman as Mrs. Bennet and Dolly Alderton penning the script. The cast also includes Rufus Sewell as Mr. Bennet, Jamie Demetriou as Mr. Collins, and Louis Partridge as Wickham.
