January 2026 brought a renewal blitz, as networks and streamers locked in dozens of flagship series—from returning anthology dramas and buzzy comedies to final-season swan songs. Many deals landed around finale nights, while top performers scored early greenlights.

January came in hot with renewal news. Networks and streamers spent the month locking down next seasons for a pile of shows — some announced right as finales hit, others greenlit early off performance. It was a little bit of everything: cable originals, streaming staples, and the usual big network workhorses.

  • The Lowdown (FX) — Season 2 is a go. Ethan Hawke keeps playing Tulsa citizen journalist Lee Raybon, with Sterlin Harjo running the show. Cameras roll spring 2026. Crime comedy fans, you can exhale.
  • Mayor of Kingstown (Paramount+ ) — Renewed for a fifth and final season. It will be eight episodes, with Jeremy Renner back as Mike McLusky. Created by Taylor Sheridan and Hugh Dillon. One last ride, then the gates close.
  • Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) — Not going anywhere: renewed for Seasons 25 and 26. Still on Fridays, still panel chats and New Rules, and Bill Maher stays on as EP.
  • The Pitt (HBO Max) — Season 3 ordered. R. Scott Gemmill’s ER drama set in Pittsburgh keeps the monitors beeping. For context, Season 2 just premiered January 7, 2026.
  • Black Mirror (Netflix) — Season 8 confirmed. Charlie Brooker’s anthology returns after Season 7 pulled Golden Globe nominations. The future remains mildly horrifying.
  • Emily in Paris (Netflix) — Season 6 is happening. Darren Star’s series keeps following Lily Collins as Emily Cooper. Season 5 bowed in late December 2025, so the Instagram grid lives on.
  • Culinary Class Wars (Netflix) — Season 3 on the menu. The Korean cooking competition brings back four-chef restaurant teams, with Paik Jong-won and Anh Sung-jae returning to host.
  • Shrinking (Apple TV+ ) — Renewed for Season 4. Jason Segel and Harrison Ford keep the therapy sessions going. The show returns January 28, 2026, and it is already sitting on nine Emmy nominations.
  • The Asset (Netflix) — Season 2 locked. The Danish spy drama debuted in October 2025 and hit No. 1 in 52 countries. Clara Dessau and Maria Cordsen are back.
  • The Lincoln Lawyer (Netflix) — Season 5 is set and will adapt Michael Connelly’s 'Resurrection Walk.' Manuel Garcia-Rulfo keeps driving the Lincoln as Mickey Haller.
  • It's Florida, Man (HBO Max) — Season 3 coming. The comedy anthology, based on Australia’s True Story with Hamish & Andy, will continue; cast info for the new season is TBA.
  • 10 CBS shows — Network TV did a bulk pickup: 'Matlock,' 'Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage,' 'Tracker,' 'Elsbeth,' 'Fire Country,' 'NCIS,' 'NCIS: Origins,' 'NCIS: Sydney,' 'Survivor,' and 'The Amazing Race.'
  • Everything on the Menu with Braun Strowman (USA Network) — Season 2 ordered with 12 episodes. The food-travel series sends Strowman back out to eat his way through American regional spots.

Bottom line: a busy January. Final seasons are being marked, franchises keep humming, and a few streaming hits are locking long-term plans ahead of schedule. Expect more of this as everyone firms up their 2026-27 slates.
