Every day, TVLine's What to Watch column spotlights new and returning English-language shows (and select movies) premiering or airing fresh episodes across broadcast, cable, and streaming — organized by release time and alphabetically within each slot.

What follows is a look at the entire calendar year: a roundup of live-action scripted series debuting in 2026 across four major U.S. broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC), select cable networks (such as AMC, FX, HBO, Starz, and USA), and eight major streaming services (Apple TV, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount+, Peacock, and Prime Video). No imports, second-run series, returning shows, unscripted titles, animated shows or children's programming.

This is a living, breathing document. As additional titles and premiere dates are announced, we'll update this list — so be sure to bookmark the page and check back regularly for the latest additions.
