Below are the NEW series released in 2026 (not new seasons), on Amazon Prime, Disney+ and Netflix. Those are series I have seen and liked ! My favourites series are in bold.
AMAZON Prime Video
- Bait / Young actor, Shah gets the audition of a lifetime : James Bond. But his Pakistani family will get involved…
- Scarpetta / In 1990 and again in 2026, a medical examiner (N. Kidman) leads the investigation, aided by a gruff cop and her husband, an FBI agent. But between a radiant sister and a niece who’s cut off from the world, her family life complicates matters.
- Young Sherlock / Guy Ritchie’s adaptation, as a series, with Sherlock, Mycroft and Moriarty as young men. Colorful and full of action.
DISNEY+
- Lucky Luke / The lonesome cowboy finds himself tasked with protecting a young girl from all the outlaws of the Wild West
NETFLIX
- How to get to Heaven from Belfast / Three young women, bound by a childhood secret, embark on a crazy investigation to find a friend.
- Run away / The Harlan’s Coben adaptation, a January tradition, but this one is good ! A father (James Nesbitt) is looking for his daughter, and becomes the main suspect in her boyfriend’s murder
Series I didn’t find very good…
- CEO Club / Amazon / A documentary that purports to showcase the lives of female business celebrities, but is nothing more than a pretentious display of the problems of rich, superficial women. If it’s meant to be feminist, it ends up being the exact opposite.
- Love Story / Disney+ / The story of the famous couple Jonh Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bassett – A misogynistic and cliché-ridden plot. Just because you have a good subject doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed a good series! The casting and direction aren’t convincing. The women here are portrayed as pitiful, whiny, and manipulated. I wanted to watch it, but I gave up after three episodes.
- Under Salt Marsh / Amazon Prime / In a small coastal town in Cornwall, a child is murdered. As a storm threatens to flood the town, the community—cut off from the outside world—is in shock. The killer is one of them. Generally speaking, the British are good at murder mysteries and thrillers, but this one offers nothing original or new, apart from the striking scenery. It has a great cast, but the heavy soundtrack dampens what little interest there is.
