There’s nothing quite like the rush of seeing your favorite show officially get renewed. It’s the kind of news that instantly sparks excitement and guarantees that the characters and stories you’ve grown attached to aren’t ending anytime soon.
Every year, Netflix delivers an overwhelming number of new series across every genre imaginable, but in such a competitive streaming landscape, renewals are never guaranteed. That’s exactly why each announcement feels like a major victory.
So far, 2026 is already shaping up to be a huge year for Netflix, with several standout shows securing their futures. In this article, we're spotlighting six Netflix series that have already been renewed this year. That way, you can stay in the loop on which beloved series are continuing their runs.
The Lincoln Lawyer
The Lincoln Lawyer is easily Netflix's best legal drama series, which is why it comes as no surprise that the streaming giant renewed the show for a fifth season ahead of its fourth season premiere. Netflix officially renewed The Lincoln Lawyer for a fifth installment on Jan. 28, 2026. The fourth season was just recently added to Netflix, and it is one of the most popular shows streaming on the platform at the moment.
Like with every installment, The Lincoln Lawyer season 5 will be based on one of Michael Connelly’s bestselling novels, continuing Mickey Haller’s high-stakes legal battles as he takes on new cases across Los Angeles. The fifth season is confirmed to adapt Connelly's seventh novel in the series, Resurrection Walk. There will also be 10 episodes, just like the previous installments.
Finding Her Edge
Netflix has proven that it's the main go-to streaming service for solid teen content. Finding Her Edge is another strong addition to the platform’s growing lineup of coming-of-age dramas. It's a compelling teen series that mixes romance, family struggles, and the intense pressure of competitive figure skating into one emotionally driven story.
The first season dropped on Netflix in late January 2026, and just a little under two weeks later, the streaming giant gave the show the green light for a second season. The show made a strong debut, so it's no surprise that Netflix is moving forward with another installment.
Based on the novel of the same name by Jennifer Iacopelli, Finding Her Edge centers around Adriana Russo, a gifted figure skater attempting to reignite her career while navigating complicated romantic relationships and shouldering the heavy expectations tied to her family’s legacy in the sport.
A Man on the Inside
Honestly, A Man on the Inside is one Netflix show we were surprised to see renewed since the last season dropped in November 2025. The streaming giant didn't give the go-ahead on a third season until early February 2026. However, we're excited to see where the story goes next!
A Man on the Inside follows a widowed, retired professor named Charles Nieuwendyk who unexpectedly finds a new sense of purpose when he begins working undercover as an amateur private investigator. The first season saw Charles infiltrating a retirement community to help solve a mysterious case, while the second season took him to a college campus, where he tackled a new blackmail mystery. It'll be interesting to see what fresh challenges await Charles in the third season!
Emily in Paris
While shows are constantly being canceled left and right, Emily in Paris has managed to not only survive but thrive, becoming one of Netflix’s most talked-about romantic dramedies. After another great installment, Netflix officially renewed Emily in Paris for a sixth season in January 2026.
The series follows Emily Cooper, a young marketing executive from Chicago, who suddenly finds herself living and working in Paris. Tasked with bringing an American perspective to a traditional French marketing firm, Emily must navigate cultural clashes, language barriers, and the expectations of her demanding colleagues, all while juggling a complicated love life.
This last season saw Emily expanding her professional horizons by taking on a leadership role in Rome and facing emotional crossroads in her romantic relationships.
Black Mirror
There are many sci‑fi shows out there, but few manage to be as thought-provoking, unsettling, and culturally reflective as Black Mirror. Unlike traditional series, each episode is a self-contained story, exploring a different facet of technology and its potential consequences on human behavior, society, and morality.
Black Mirror has been around since 2011, originally airing on the UK’s Channel 4 before moving to Netflix in 2016, where it gained international fame. Over its run, the show has tackled topics ranging from social media obsession and surveillance to artificial intelligence and virtual realities. In January 2026, Netflix renewed the hit sci-fi series for an eighth season. However, we're still waiting on more details.
Culinary Class Wars
For those who enjoy a good cooking competition, Culinary Class Wars delivers all the excitement, drama, and culinary creativity you could hope for. The Korean show pits 80 “Black Spoon” underdog chefs from humble kitchens against 20 elite “White Spoon” professional chefs in high-stakes challenges that test their skills, innovation, and composure under pressure.
Of course, it wouldn't be a competition series without intense eliminations and a hefty prize for the winner, which raises the stakes and pushes contestants to give everything they’ve got. There have been two seasons of Culinary Class Wars so far. Netflix officially renewed the cooking reality competition series for a third season in January 2026.
