Netflix just refreshed its evergreen “best shows” list, adding dozens of new titles, firm premiere dates and a heads-up on what’s leaving soon. From returning giants like Stranger Things to under-the-radar gems like Envious, the platform is banking on variety to keep subscribers hooked through 2026.
What’s New-and When
January kicks off with Bridgerton S4 Part 1 on the 29th, followed by Part 2 on Feb. 26. March brings the Peaky Blinders movie, reuniting Cillian Murphy with the Shelby universe. Later this year, Beef becomes an anthology, swapping Yeun and Wong for Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan.
Freshly crowned Emmy champs also line up:
- Adolescence (4 single-take episodes, 8 Emmys)
- Ripley (4 Emmys, black-and-white noir)
- Arcane (2025 animated program winner)
Returning Favorites You Can Start Now
The Diplomat S3 already landed in October, with Kerri Russell scoring a 2026 Globe nod. The Lincoln Lawyer S4 arrives Feb. 5, while Nobody Wants This has two seasons waiting ahead of its Globes run. If you missed Squid Game’s bloody finale, all three seasons are now complete.
Comfort-watchers can queue up nine seasons of The Great British Baking Show, every Gilmore Girls episode plus the 2016 reboot, or Love on the Spectrum S3, fresh off its Emmy win for unstructured reality.
Hidden Gems and Surprise Drops
Argentine comedy Envious quietly dropped three seasons, and Tina Fey’s reimagined The Four Seasons debuts with Colman Domingo earning early Emmy buzz. Historical-drama fans get Death by Lightning (Michael Shannon as President Garfield) and Dept. Q, a cold-case thriller from The Queen’s Gambit co-creator Scott Frank.
