March 2026 TV Renewals: The Complete List of Every Show Getting Another Season
TV fans scored big in March 2026 as ABC, NBC, Fox, Netflix, and PBS unleashed a renewal blitz, locking in fresh seasons for comedies, dramas, reality competitions, and period epics.
It feels like every TV network and streaming service woke up in March 2026 and decided to stamp a big 'Yes, we're bringing this one back' on pretty much every genre — comedies, dramas, reality competitions, period pieces, stuff with ghosts, stuff with doctors, the whole nine yards. Some shows are sticking around to break records, others are saying goodbye, and there are even a couple where the renewal is official everywhere except...Netflix’s PR department? Here’s everything you actually need to know, without the corporate boilerplate or vague announcements.
Renewals: The March Madness Recap
- School Spirits (Paramount+): Supernatural mystery stays alive for a fourth season after the season 3 finale. Still no details on what’s actually going to happen next — typical.
- Criminal Minds: Evolution (Paramount+): The BAU machine grinds on with a 20th season now set for 2027, even before season 19 (which drops May 28). Fan service, meet pipeline.
- For All Mankind (Apple TV+): The space race reimagining is reaching the finish line. Season 5 lands March 27, 2026, with its sixth (and final) season due in 2027.
- CIA (CBS): Spy procedural with Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss gets a quick season 2 renewal, right after its first outing.
- Wonder Man (Marvel/Disney+): Marvel’s oddball hero sticks around for a second season, helped along by viewers bingeing 618 million minutes and a stint in Nielsen's streaming top ten.
- Nelly and Ashanti: We Belong Together (Peacock): Couple reality TV is not dead. Season 2 kicks off production this March after a strong showing.
- Neighbors (HBO): HBO’s documentary about complicated neighbor relationships (why not?) snags a second season, averaging nearly 3 million global viewers per episode.
- Tamron Hall (ABC): The daytime talk mainstay is renewed for an eighth season and has dropped over 1,200 episodes since 2019. If you have not tuned in yet, it’s your loss or your sanity.
- Impractical Jokers (TBS): The mess-around classic scores season 13. Ratings are so high, it’s topping all original cable shows for adults. The formula: don't change a thing.
- Cross (Prime Video): Action/detective series based on James Patterson’s books will get a third season. Season one pulled in 40 million viewers in 20 days. Small country numbers.
- Paradise (Hulu): Dan Fogelman’s series gets a third — and final — season with eight episodes. He says that’s how the story is supposed to end, so no last-minute revivals (for now).
- Free Bert (Netflix): Not much info besides a season 2 order and Atlanta as home base for production. Netflix is typically tight-lipped.
- Miss Scarlet (PBS): Period crime drama bows out for its seventh and final season. Kate Phillips returns as Victorian detective Eliza Scarlet, calling the role 'the greatest joys of my career'.
- Best Medicine (Fox): Inspired by 'Doc Martin', this fish-out-of-water medical drama with Josh Charles is headed to Port Wenn, Maine, again with 12 new episodes for season two. The debut drew a hefty 12.6 million cross-platform viewers and ranked among the top two drama launches this season.
- Destination X (NBC): This travel-guessing reality competition (hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, because why not) averaged 14 million viewers in 26 days and hit 20 million across all platforms in its ten-episode run. NBC is calling it Peacock's best alternative launch.
- Little House on the Prairie (Netflix): Already renewed for a second round, sight unseen — no one outside Netflix has even watched season 1 yet. Cast includes Alice Halsey, Skywalker Hughes, Luke Bracey, and Crosby Fitzgerald. Showrunner and execs are all in on the optimism.
- Abbott Elementary (ABC): Ratings champ among 18-49 comedies grabs a sixth season. Quinta Brunson and ensemble have four Emmys on their shelf already, plus 30 nominations.
- 9-1-1 (ABC): The emergency procedural heads into season ten. Created by Ryan Murphy, now joined by its Nashville spin-off.
- 9-1-1: Nashville (ABC): Newish spin-off gets a go-ahead for a second season, touting Chris O'Donnell, LeAnn Rimes, and more.
- High Potential (ABC): Kaitlin Olson’s ‘cleaning lady–turned–consultant’ series will hit season 3, even as showrunner Todd Harthan bails for Disney’s new Eragon show.
- The Night Agent (Netflix): Squeaky-clean political thriller gets a fourth season. Netflix doubled down, renewing seasons three and four before some viewers got to see season two. Its White House conspiracy shtick will clearly keep going until at least 2027.
- The Drew Barrymore Show (CBS): Drew Barrymore nabs seasons 7 and 8 of her ever-earnest talk show. As she put it:
'What matters most to us is our viewers and the people that come here! This show began as a space for intimate conversation, and we’re continuing to plant our flag as a truly multiplatform experience'
- The Audacity (AMC): Dark comedy with Billy Magnussen and Zach Galifianakis gets a second season before season one even premieres. AMC’s suits say season one is, and I quote, 'fantastic.'
- Doc (Fox): Molly Parker’s medical series is sticking around with 22 more episodes for season three. Fox’s execs are very excited about the show’s ‘largest multiplatform’ scripted numbers and international audience.
- The Forsytes (PBS): Period family drama based on The Forsyte Saga gets a third season greenlight before US viewers have seen a frame of season two. Filming takes place in the UK and around Europe.
- Marshals (CBS): Yellowstone-verse returns, this time focusing on Kayce Dutton (played by Luke Grimes). Renewed for season two after only two episodes aired — confidence, or just hedging against slow-burn hits?
- The Traitors UK (BBC): The original (UK) gets a three-year extension, keeping it running at least through season 8 in 2030. It's filmed at Ardross Castle in Scotland, and both the main and Celebrity versions are sticking around. Schedules are mapped out all the way to 2030, which is more long-term planning than most politicians manage.
- At Home With the Furys (Netflix, probable): Tyson Fury’s family docuseries is reportedly prepping season three, but Netflix isn't confirming it yet. They’re even dodging media requests for a statement — so, classic Netflix playbook.
Closing Thoughts
What does all this mean? For one thing, TV execs are taking very few chances these days if a show has even a whiff of a built-in audience. If you liked any of these shows, you’re probably set for at least another year (or several, if you prefer your reality with British people in a castle). If you hoped for the death of the revival, reboot, or never-ending franchise season, I have bad news.
The real shocker here is the 'let’s renew it before it even premieres' trend — which is the TV world’s version of betting on black before the roulette wheel even spins. Either Hollywood knows their numbers, or they just want us to think they do.
