A new year is upon us – and it’s set to be an exciting one for Netflix. While the past few months might have seen such huge new shows such as Squid Game and Stranger Things come to an end, there’s still plenty to look forward to in terms of returning favourites this year (hello Bridgerton) and new offerings. And 2026 is already getting off to a cracking start with the latest crop of new shows on the streaming platform. Whether it’s a tense thriller, reality TV from the continent or just a spot of stand-up comedy you’re after, Netflix has you covered as the last sparkles of Christmas fade and the return to real life sets in… (Picture: ERIN SIMKIN/NETFLIX)

Found

First up, here’s a treat for fans of this former NBC show that was cancelled after just two seasons. Both seasons of Found, which came to a premature end in May 2025, have been picked up by Netflix, raising hopes that a third series could happen at some point (although as it stands there are no plans). Still, at least we have these to enjoy for now. Found centres on Gabi Moseley (Shanola Hampton), a crisis manager who works with a team trying to track down missing people forgotten – or overlooked – by the media. Except she’s got an ulterior motive for doing so.

Release date: Out now.

Just when you thought everyone had run out of Stephen King stories to adapt, here comes another one, creeping on to Netflix from Amazon Prime Video just in time for the new year. Based on the super-author’s 2011 novel, the eight-episode saga sees James Franco as James Epping, a recently divorced English teacher who has the chance to travel back to 1960 in a bid to prevent John F Kennedy’s assassination. Except he becomes a bit too enamoured with his new past life and identity – potentially threatening his entire mission.

Release date: January 7.

Love is Blind Germany
The Love is Blind format is one which is proving popular around the world with a string of international spin-offs popping up everywhere from Brazil, Sweden and Japan through to the UK and Germany – whose second series comes to us this month. Just in case you’re that person who’s never seen it, Love Is Blind sees a group of hopeful singles attempt to date, fall in love and even get married – with the twist being that they never actually meet in person until they get engaged. Expect more drama and fireworks from this version.

His & Hers

One of this month’s biggest new series, this one is based on the 2020 novel by best-selling British author Alice Feeney. His & Hers-Netflix style updates the setting from the UK to Georgia, as a journalist (Tessa Thompson) investigates a murder in her small home town of Dahlonega, clashing with a detective as she does – the only issue being that her main rival is also her ex-husband (Jon Bernthal). With the story being told from the different viewpoints of both lead characters, this is one in which everyone’s a suspect, and nothing is what it seems.

Release date: January 8.

The book adaptations are coming thick and fast this month. Here’s another one, this time based on the best-selling romance novel by Emily Henry. The movie centres around Poppy (Emily Bader) and Alex (Tom Blyth), who are best friends despite having nothing in common. For a decade the pair went on holiday together for one week, until a falling out. Two years later Poppy rekindles the friendship and invites him on one last trip – but could the romantic sparks start flying?

Release date: January 10.
