With 2026 just around the corner, viewers can watch several exciting new television shows to kick off the new year. This January, major franchises like Marvel and Game of Thrones will unveil their latest projects on television and streaming. We will also see established hits like Stand out And The Pitt Continuing their beloved stories with another season. As everyone prepares their calendars for 2026, mark the dates for these five new shows to air in January.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (since 2026)
Settled 100 years ago game of ThronesThis prequel series tells the story of Ser Duncan the Great (Peter Claffey), a humble hedge knight who takes the young prince Aegon Targaryen (Dexter Sol Ansell) under his wing as he travels across Westeros in search of honor and justice. Finally, Duncan takes part in a tournament and clashes with the evil Prince Aerion Targaryen (Bertie Carvel). This begins a journey that will make him a legend.
This new spin-off should satisfy audiences who are excited for the next season of House of the Dragon. This series will not only shift the focus away from the dragons and kings of Westeros, but will also feature a more comedic tone than previous series in the franchise. This should be a refreshing break from the franchise’s traditional doom and gloom, while also expanding the world of Westeros and highlighting some of the empire’s greatest heroes.
Regard A knight of the Seven Kingdoms on HBO or HBO Max on January 18th.
Miracle Man (2026)
Miracle man will do something unique in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: present a show about the making of a remake of a superhero film set in a world full of superheroes. The series follows Simon Williams (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), an actor with real-life superpowers, as he tries to land the lead role in the new Wonder Man film. We’ll also see Williams attempt to appear in the film alongside failed actor and former fake villain Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley).
Miracle man is very different from the vast, earth-shattering narratives often seen in the MCU, which should help alleviate the superhero fatigue that audiences have felt with Marvel in recent years. Overall, it appeals to an audience that enjoys superheroes and meta shows The studio I will definitely check out this Marvel miniseries when it premieres.
