“Power Book III: Raising Kanan”
Sascha Penn created “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” the “Power” prequel led by Mekai Curtis as young Kanan Stark and Patina Miller as Raquel Thomas. The final season also brings back London Brown, Malcolm Mays, Hailey Kilgore, Joey Bada$$, and the Queens crime-world ensemble that has shaped Kanan’s origin story.

Premiere Date: June 12, 2026, via Starz.
“I Will Find You”
Robert Hull adapted Harlan Coben’s novel for Netflix’s “I Will Find You,” an eight-episode thriller starring Sam Worthington as an innocent father serving life for the murder of his son. When he receives evidence that the child may still be alive, he breaks out of prison to find him. Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia, Logan Browning, Erin Richards, Chi McBride, and Jonathan Tucker co-star. Coben adaptations have become a reliable Netflix lane, and this one has a strong fugitive-thriller premise.
Premiere Date: June 18, 2026, via Netflix.
“Sugar”
Mark Protosevich created Apple TV’s “Sugar,” with Colin Farrell returning as private investigator John Sugar for Season 2. Tony Dalton and Shea Whigham join the new season, which centers on a case involving the missing brother of a local boxer. Season 1 began as a Los Angeles noir before revealing a stranger genre layer, and Season 2 now gets to operate with that knowledge in place. Farrell remains the selling point: a movie-star detective in a show that treats noir as both style and disguise.
Premiere Date: June 19, 2026, via Apple TV.

“Elle”
Lexi Minetree stars as a teenage Elle Woods in “Elle,” Prime Video’s “Legally Blonde” prequel series. Reese Witherspoon executive produces, keeping the show directly connected to the franchise she made famous. The series tracks the experiences that shaped Elle before law school, moving the property into high school and teen-comedy territory rather than legal comedy. The pitch is simple but commercially obvious: a younger Elle Woods, a known IP, and Witherspoon involved behind the scenes.
Premiere Date: July 1, 2026, via Prime Video.
