Television and streaming programming schedules

Overview

Television and streaming networks have announced various programming schedules and upcoming releases for the latter half of 2026.

Initial reports highlighted weekend schedules featuring reality, debate, and medical drama programs, alongside upcoming fall season releases such as ‘Chad Powers’ on Hulu and ‘The Paper’ on Peacock. Subsequent announcements detailed specific seasonal content, including the Hallmark Channel’s ‘2026 Countdown to Christmas’ featuring actors Paul Campbell, Tyler Hynes, and Lacey Chabert, and Prime Video’s ‘Neagley’ spin-off from the ‘Reacher’ series.

Other notable upcoming releases include a contemporary adaptation of ‘Agatha Christie’s Tommy and Tuppence’ on BritBox and a ‘Pride and Prejudice’ adaptation on Netflix slated for December 3. The winter 2026 slate also includes the return of the ABC series ‘R. J. Decker’ starring Scott Speedman.

Industry trends for 2026 indicate a focus on franchise expansions, sequels, and book adaptations as platforms compete within a market moving toward larger streaming bundles. Programming highlights for October 2026 include a seven-episode Netflix adaptation of Steinbeck’s ‘East of Eden’ starring Florence Pugh, the premiere of the young adult drama ‘Coven Academy’ on Freeform (also available on Disney+ and Hulu), and the season finale of ‘Big Brother’ on CBS.
