Netflix Upfronts 2026: His & Hers Dominates, Grown Ups 3 Announced, and Harlan Coben Returns

Netflix just wrapped its 2026 upfront presentation in New York City, and wow—what a lineup. The streaming giant came out swinging with a massive slate of new shows, movies, and renewals that have millennials buzzing. If you thought Netflix was slowing down, think again.

His & Hers Is 2026's Most-Watched Show

According to Nielsen ratings, His & Hers has officially become the most-watched show on Netflix so far in 2026. Starring Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal, this thriller miniseries about a couple navigating a murder investigation from two very different perspectives has captivated audiences worldwide. The chemistry between Thompson and Bernthal is electric, and the dual-narrative structure keeps you guessing until the final episode. It's easy to see why it beat out everything else on the platform this year.

ABC also used the upfronts to tout High Potential as the top broadcast show in the 18-49 demographic this season—proof that good storytelling still wins, whether it's streaming or traditional TV.

Grown Ups 3, Harlan Coben, and Bridgerton Creator's New Projects

But the big news? Netflix greenlit Grown Ups 3, bringing back Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and Rob Schneider for another round of nostalgic comedy. The original films were massive hits, and fans have been begging for a sequel for years.

Netflix also announced a new docuseries from Nick Cannon, fresh projects from thriller king Harlan Coben (whose adaptations like The Stranger and Fool Me Once have been huge), and a new series from Chris Van Dusen, the creator behind the smash hit Bridgerton. The streamer is clearly investing heavily in proven talent.

With Bridgerton continuing to dominate and new projects from creators like Shonda Rhimes and Ryan Murphy also in the pipeline, 2026 is shaping up to be Netflix's biggest year yet. Grab your popcorn—there's a lot coming.
