TV is everywhere right now — and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. With streaming in its prime, cable holding strong, and broadcast still bringing the drama (and comedy and competition shows), the 2025–2026 season is delivering something for absolutely everyone. Whether you’re glued to a gripping Hulu thriller, multitasking during Monday Night Football on ESPN or kicking it old-school with a feel-good procedural on CBS, the message is clear: however you like to watch, there’s plenty to love.
But make no mistake — the TV industry isn’t just coasting. It’s evolving fast. This year’s Upfronts revealed a landscape that’s more platform-agnostic than ever, with major media companies doubling down on cross-channel strategies, blending ad-supported streaming with premium originals, and pushing sports beyond the usual sidelines. Disney is bringing ESPN’s biggest moments to Disney+. NBCUniversal is expanding its FAST channel footprint. Even Marvel and FX are reshaping what “franchise” means in an on-demand world. In short: networks are meeting audiences where they are — and where they’re headed next.
Still, for all the innovation, one thing hasn’t changed: people love TV. They love to talk about it, bond over it, and escape into it. It’s comfort, connection, and conversation — whether you’re watching on a phone at the airport or on a couch with snacks and friends. This year’s new lineups are packed with big swings, bigger stars, and stories that get people talking. So, go ahead, ask yourself: What are we watching? The answer is… pretty much everything!
Mark your calendars — a full year of must-see TV is on the way! From awards and live shows to sports and cultural moments, get ready for unforgettable events worth gathering around the screen for.
