The Upshaws, Pt. 7

Bennie Upshaw (Mike Epps), the head of a Black working class family in Indianapolis, is a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family — wife Regina (Kim Fields), their two young daughters (Khali Spraggins, Journey Christine) and firstborn son (Jermelle Simon), the teenage son (Diamond Lyons) he fathered with another woman (Gabrielle Dennis) — and tolerate his sardonic sister-in-law (Wanda Sykes), all without a blueprint for success. But the Upshaws are determined to make it work, and make it to the next level, together. Part 7 is set to premiere on January 15.

Bridgerton, Season Four Pt. 1 & 2

Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson), the family’s creative and free-spirited second son, is the new love focus of Bridgerton’s return. Benedict defies convention while his siblings get married, but during Violet Bridgerton’s masquerade ball, a mystery Lady in Silver draws his attention.

Showrunner Jess Brownell continues to expand the world first brought to life by Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal) and creator Chris Van Dusen (The Catch, Grey’s Anatomy). Season four leans into fairy-tale romance and emotional longing, all wrapped in the lavish spectacle fans expect from the franchise. Part 1 premieres January 29, 2026.

Season four delivers high-stakes courtroom tension alongside emotional depth. The fourth season premiere arrives on February 5. 

The Night Agent, Season Three

Coming off the explosive events of season two, Night Agent Peter Sutherland is called in to track down a young Treasury Agent who fled to Istanbul with sensitive government intel after killing his boss. This kicks off a sequence of events where Peter investigates a dark money network while avoiding its paid assassins, while putting him on a collision course with a relentless journalist. Working together, they uncover buried secrets and old grudges that threaten to bring the government to its knees — and get them both killed in the process. The third season arrives February 19.

XO, Kitty, Season Three

Created by Jenny Han, author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and The Summer I Turned Pretty, the series continues to balance lighthearted romance with deeper emotional arcs. A mysterious letter tied to Kitty’s mother’s past pushes the season into more personal territory, raising the stakes beyond schoolyard crushes.

Little House on the Prairie

Produced by David E. Kelley (Ally McBeal, The Undoing), the adaptation reframes the classic story for modern audiences while honoring its autobiographical roots.

The Hunting Wives, Season Two

Season two escalates the drama of wealth, obsession, and secrecy in a wealthy Texas suburb. Alliances shift quickly, and no one’s hands stay clean for long.
