Greek drama rollouts 2026 – new episodes & series

Entities: ANT1 · Dina Michailidou · Kri̱no kai Agkathi · Andreas Morfonios · Antonius and Cleopatra

Overview

The summer 2026 Greek television season continued to expand. After ANT1’s June premieres of the period romance *Kryno & Agkathi* and the police thriller *Other Me*, Skai added the high‑budget melodrama *Blue Hours* on 10 July, followed by its legal‑romance spin‑off *Antonius and Cleopatra* on 16 July and a new season of that series on 22 July.

ANT1 extended *Other Me* with the “Katharsis” arc, airing episodes 5‑8 from 27 to 30 July, deepening the student‑murder investigation and introducing a new organisational leader ahead of a climactic showdown.

On 25 July ANT1 debuted *Spilades*, an adaptation of Maria Georgiadi’s early‑1960s Aegean novel, beginning with a shipwreck that leaves heroine Niki (Deniá Psylliá) amnesic and drawn into family secrets, love triangles, and island rivalries across Psara and Syros.

Further promotion arrived on 27 July when ANT1 released backstage footage for *Kryno & Agkathi*. That same day the network confirmed production details: the series is directed by Andreas Morfonios, written by Gianna Kanellopoulou, and features an ensemble cast including Tasos Iordanidis, Dina Michailidou, Spiros Sarafianos, Orestis Tzovas and others.

The following day, 28 July, ANT1 published a behind‑the‑scenes photo album for its new drama *Derti*. Set in Patras in 1987, the series follows Stella (Eugenia Xygkoro) as she returns to confront her estranged mother, with the album revealing costumes, set design and the atmospheric nightclub interiors that frame the story.

On 29 July SKAI issued the first trailer for *Blue Hours*, highlighting the illegal romance between Angel and Eva amid family feuds in the Pelion region and unveiling the title song “To Prostimo” performed by Paola.

These developments illustrate a sustained surge of new Greek dramas, visual promotion efforts and serial extensions throughout the summer schedule.
