My Life with the Walter Boys (Season 4) — The Colorado-set YA drama keeps delivering for Netflix’s teen audience, earning its second pre-emptive renewal in the show’s history. Season 3 is still incoming in 2026 before Season 4 goes into production.
Big Mistakes (Season 2) — Dan Levy’s breakout comedy thriller heads back to New Jersey. Netflix also locked in a new creative first-look deal with Levy alongside the renewal — a sign they’re deeply invested in everything he makes next.

East of Eden (Fall 2026) — The crown jewel of the Upfronts. Florence Pugh leads this sweeping seven-episode limited series adapting John Steinbeck’s classic novel, told through the lens of the morally complex Cathy Ames. A new trailer dropped alongside the Fall 2026 release window announcement — and it looks absolutely stunning.
The Hawk (July 2026) — Will Ferrell’s new Netflix comedy series finally got its official teaser and first-look photos. A new date was also confirmed — expect it landing on your screens in July 2026.
