Let\u2019s face it: It\u2019s hard unsubscribing to Netflix<\/a>. The streamer has come a long way since it was a DVD rental service, and its original content game is a pretty attractive commodity. Even if the final season of Stranger Things<\/em> wasn\u2019t all that great, and you feel like you\u2019ve heard the plot repeated<\/a> a handful of times, there\u2019s still something<\/em> else on Netflix worth watching. That\u2019s especially true in 2026.<\/p>\n

Since January, Netflix has offered a pretty killer selection of original movies and<\/em> original shows. Shows like His & Hers<\/em>, with Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, and Vladimir<\/em> with Rachel Weisz proves there\u2019s still an audience for star-driven grownup fare. The year has also seen new seasons of The Lincoln Lawyer<\/em> and The Night Agent<\/em>, as well as unscripted behind-the-cameras docu-shows like Formula 1: Drive to Survive<\/em> and WWE: Unreal<\/em><\/a>. Some of 2025\u2019s biggest headlines in sports surrounded Lewis Hamilton and John Cena, and Netflix has the deep dives into the drama surrounding them both.<\/p>\n

The year is far from over. Later this year will see the premiere of Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/em>, a new adaptation of the hit video games, and Stranger Things: Tales From \u201885<\/em>, an animated spin-off of the juggernaut series. New seasons of Devil May Cry<\/em><\/a>, Beef<\/em>, 3 Body Problem<\/em><\/a>, and Black Doves<\/em> are on the way. But for now, these are the must-see Netflix shows of 2026.<\/p>\n
