Netflix has released its annual What’s Next? video for 2026, and it’s an unusually ambitious tease—an ornate little sci-fi/fantasy short framed around Teyana Taylor (“One Battle After Another“) as a mystic guide ushering a wide-eyed tween into the unknown. “I know you’re wondering, what’s next?” she asks, before the kid’s sent tumbling through a time-and-space reverie that flashes glimpses of the characters poised to headline the streamer’s 2026 slate—Millie Bobby Brown in “Enola Holmes 3,” Cillian Murphy in “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man,” and Theo James back for “The Gentlemen” season two, among plenty of other quick-hit appearances.

It’s a small amuse-bouche for what’s imminent: later today, Netflix is expected to roll out the bulk of its 2026 TV and film lineup. The promise, at least on paper, is a return to big-swing, big-audience programming—major series coming back like “Bridgerton,” “The Night Agent,” “Virgin River,” “One Piece,” and “Lupin,” plus buzzy movie plays like “Apex” starring Charlize Theron, “War Machine” with Alan Ritchson, and “The Rip” featuring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, and more.
For now, it’s just a curtain-raiser—less about details than momentum—one sleek, glossy reminder that Netflix wants 2026 to feel like a constant stream of “next up” moments, landing on your home screen before you’ve even finished processing the last one.
Watch the Netflix teaser below and stay tuned for more details.
