Netflix has had a wildly successful year so far in 2026, with new releases like War Machine (starring Alan Ritchson ) cracking the all-time top 10 and earning a sequel. Other shows like The Night Agent (starring Gabriel Basso ) have returned, with one more new season of the Reacher replacement series confirmed to be on the way next year. Netflix stumbled a bit with the premiere of The Boroughs , the new sci-fi series produced by the Duffer brothers , creators of the global sensation, Stranger Things . After earning millions of views during its debut on the platform, most fans felt that the future of The Boroughs was in safe hands, but Netflix canceled the show while it was still in the global top 10. This came despite creatives and stars showing interest in doing another season.
