Every year, I watch dozens of new shows to make sure I'm on top of the best series out there. That means every year, I also start developing a list of the shows I'm most anticipating in the upcoming year. Last year, that list included shows like "The Pitt," "Alien: Earth" and "Death by Lightning."
This year, well ... one of those shows is back for season 2, and it's right at the top of my list. In fact, there are more than a few returning shows that are high up on my list of most anticipated shows of 2026. But there are also a few new series I can't wait to watch, including one that finally brings one of my favorite superheroes to a live-action show.
