In my review of The Pitt season 2, I make no secret that it's my most anticipated TV show of 2026. In it, we pick up 10 months after last season with the day shift returning for the Fourth of July weekend.

Lead Doctor Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch is more grounded than his emotional breakdown in season 1, planning to leave for a three-month sabbatical after the holiday shift is over. His replacement, Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi), has entered the ER with an agenda, hoping to implement permanent changes to how Robby runs his department.
As you can imagine, it's glorious chaos from the moment the ER's doors open, and the stakes only grow in the award-winning HBO Max's second season. By blending its winning formula with new dynamic elements, The Pitt's just as strong as it was before. – Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter

It might not be groundbreaking filmmaking, but I was incredible impressed by People We Meet on Vacation. Adapting the smash-hit romance novel of the same name by Emily Henry, one of January's new Netflix movies is the perfect reminder that the first month of the year doesn't have to be cold and dreary.
The romantic chemistry between our two leads is astonishing, and who needs bold filmmaking when you can be cozy instead? Personally, I love that we're starting a new year with the energy that platonic love is just as important (if not more) as romantic love.

Jonathan Pine is back after a nine year break and he’s in hiding under a new alias. But, Tom Hiddleston’s beloved character isn’t having a relaxing time, as he’s dragged into a new nail-biting mission. This is one of my most anticipated Prime Video shows of the year (it's already began airing on BBC One in the UK) and one I'm delighted to see returning after such a long absence.
This time around, Pine finds himself tussling with menacing Colombian businessman Teddy dos Santos when demons from Pine's past resurface. Season 2 welcomes back plenty of familiar faces like Olivia Colman, Alistair Petrie, Douglas Hodge, and Michael Nardone. And, with the first three episodes of this BBC-developed Amazon TV show out on Sunday, that’s your weekend viewing sorted. – Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer

Watch On
Tempted to step back in time to watch an all-female notorious gang plan a daring theft, street brawls erupt, and royals trained in boxing in Victorian London? Steven Knight’s returning period drama is the perfect watch for you.
A Thousand Blows season 2 picks up directly after the events of its predecessor, with Sugar Goodson battered, Hezekiah Moscow in a heap of despair, and Mary Carr determined to get the Forty Elephants back together to reclaim the streets.
All six episodes are out now on Hulu, or Disney+ if you don't live in the US, so you don't have to wait to see where this next chapter goes. Just be prepared: there may be less boxing this season, but it still packs a brutal punch. – Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor

Watch On
Netflix’s latest crime thriller His & Hers may have divided critics overall, but everyone's in full agreement over its wild ending that I'm sure will be the talk of the town this weekend.
Marvel stars Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal play a news reporter and a detective, both of whom try to solve a murder where each believes the other is a prime suspect. Whether or not their suspicions are correct is another matter entirely.
The six-episode series is an ideal binge watch as all episodes are now available on Netflix – and, given the chatter about its big twist already, you'll want to stream it all ASAP so nobody spoils it for you. – LB

Tron: Ares (Disney+)
Tron: Ares | Official Trailer - YouTube
Watch On
One of many films that bombed at the global box office in 2025, Tron: Ares makes its Disney+ bow less than three months after its initial theatrical release.
Set 15 years after Tron: Legacy, the sci-fi franchise's latest entry stars Jared Leto as Ares, an artificial intelligence program created by Dillinger Systems and labeled as the "perfect, expendable soldier". However, when Ares crosses over into the real world, the lines between reality and digital realms begin to blur.
I really enjoyed Tron: Legacy but, whether it's the mixed reception Tron: Ares has received and/or Leto's involvement, I can't say I'll be racing on my Light Cycle to watch this one. Maybe you will, though. – TP
