Top names among them are The Pitt, Severance Season 2, Stranger Things Season 5, Fallout Season 2, and more.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is not just a GoT spinoff; it’s so much more than that. It’s about to adapt that segment of the George RR Martin that fans have been dying to see on their screens for quite a long time. Previously, the GOT and HOTD series traumatized the fandom with gruesome battles and bloodshed. Now, it’s time for the world to witness that not all the stories in the world of Westeros and Essos are brutal; in fact, some are known for humour and warmth that can lift one’s mood.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms follows Duncan the Tall, who, after his mentor’s death, decides to become a knight to honor him. Later, he crosses paths with a boy named Egg, who becomes Dunk’s squire. The little boy is actually Aegon Targaryen, but he hides his identity to travel the world alongside Dunk.
2. Euphoria Season 3
- Genre: Psychological drama
- Release Date: Spring 2026 (Date: TBA)

Euphoria has captivated a huge fandom with its mature storytelling and intriguing characters since the first season. Additionally, it gave us some of the most viral sequences and became the meme powerhouse. The second season arrived in 2022, and since then, every fan has waited for Euphoria Season 3 with bated breath. Now that, after multiple delays, it is finally getting closer to its 2026 release date, the public is extremely intrigued to see how the unresolved character arcs get closure. Moreover, it is also stated to be the final season of the fan-favorite series.
Euphoria Season 3 will feature a five-year time jump and will show our beloved characters dealing with adulthood.
3. The Testaments
- Genre: Dystopian Fiction
- Release Date: Spring 2026 (Date: TBA)
- Where to Stream: Hulu
The Testaments is the sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale and will answer several questions that have remained mysteries for years. The series will take place 15 years after its predecessor and will let us know what happens to Gilead in the future. Several crucial characters from The Handmaid’s Tale, including Aunt Lydia, Agnes, and a few others, will make a comeback. As hinted by several sources, The Testaments will end the Gilead saga forever, and probably give us the ending we have been looking for.
The Testaments will revolve around the three lead ladies: Aunt Lydia, Agnes, and Daisy/Baby Nicole. Lydia will be seen trying to execute her eventual plans leading to the downfall of Gilead. She recruits Daisy and Agnes for a better cause. The Testaments will not only showcase the cruelty of the regime, but will also, for the first time, reveal its weakness.
4. House of the Dragon Season 3
- Genre: Fantasy, Political Drama
- Release Date: Summer 2026 (Date: TBA)
- Where to Stream: Max
House of the Dragon Season 3 will feature several shocking sequences as it covers the most crucial events of the source material; one among those is the ‘Battle of Gullet.’ So, we all know that this will be the goriest and most dramatic HOTD seasons yet. The third chapter will also overwhelm the fandom with other elements. For instance, it will most probably see Alicent losing her grip on power, Rhaenyra’s darker side, and the most devastating dragon deaths, of course.
HOTD Season 3 will majorly showcase Rhaenyra and Daemon’s conquest to invade King’s Landing. Daemon will lead his forces to fight the Hightower army. While the characters who survived in Season 2 will return, there will be some essential new entries.
5. Wonder Man
- Genre: Superhero
- Release Date: January 27, 2026
- Where to Stream: Disney+
Wonder Man is one of the underused superheroes of Marvel, and now that he is finally getting the limelight he deserves, every fan is super excited. Simon Williams has been around for ages, but he took a long time to bag a live-action until now. So, it’s obviously creating buzz lately as the audience eagerly wants to see how this television series turns out. Will it be able to live up to the expectations, or will it be a disappointment?
It will follow Simon Williams, who is more interested in becoming a popular actor and not a superhero. He auditions for the Wonder Man remake film alongside Trevor Slattery. The series is marketed as a meta-commentary thing, and it will bring something really new to the table that Marvel has never tried before.
