As we get ready to ring in the new year, I, like many are starting to look at what shows we can look forward to in 2026. These new shows are due to hit our screens in the first quarter of the new year. Let’s take a look.
Best Medicine
If you know me, you know that I am a big fan of Grey’s Anatomy and other medical dramas. This new show follows Dr. Martin Best, an amazing surgeon who abruptly leaves his luxurious Boston career to become the general practitioner in a small East Coast fishing town where he spent his summers as a kid. The new series releases on Fox on Jan. 6 at 8 p.m.
Wonder Man
Alright, we all may be waiting for Marvel’s VisionQuest to release (the third instalment of the Wanda Vision franchise), but first to release in 2026 is a new show called Wonder Man. The show will follow Simon Williams, a struggling actor who, after a lab accident, gains superpowers. While he is playing a fictional superhero he is forced to balance fame, his identity, the corporation that accidentally gave him his powers, and more. The series drops on Disney+ on Jan. 27.
Scrubs – Reboot
After 15 years apart, J.D. and Turk return to Sacred Heart Hospital to mentor a new group of interns. Their iconic, and at times, hilarious bromance continues with modern medicine and new faces joining the crew. The reboot will be released on Feb. 25 on ABC.
Young Sherlock
This new Prime Video action-mystery releases on March 4. This new series is reimagining Sherlock Holmes as a rebellious 19-year-old student at Oxford in the 1870s. We will follow as Holmes navigates solving his first murder case, conspiracy theories, and more.
Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair
They’re back! Picking up years later after the original sitcom ended with a now grown-up Malcolm who built a great life away from his chaotic family, he is now forced to return home at his parents’ command with his daughter for Hal and Lois’ 40th wedding anniversary. The four-episode Hulu revival releases on April 10, showing off the sitcom family’s usual drama and chaos. As a big fan of the original show, I can’t wait for it to be released.
These five amazing new series, spinoffs, and reboots bring us right through the first four months of 2026, and I can’t wait to watch and learn all about them. Are there any new shows you are looking forward to in 2026? Let me know in the comments on the post related to this article on my Instagram, @eidanwexlermedia. Happy New Year!
