Fans of HBO and HBO Max have a lot to look forward to in 2026. The network has already revealed which shows will be returning and which ones have been cancelled, even though the year is just beginning.
According to industry insiders, the streaming service is having a much stronger year in 2026 compared to 2025. Last year saw the cancellation of four shows, including the comedy series The Franchise after just one season. However, things are looking up this year, with three popular shows already renewed in the first few weeks.
HBO announced on January 30th that the comedy show It’s Florida, Man will be back for a third season. The show is popular for recreating strange but true news stories from Florida, using actors and interviews with the people who lived through them.
The medical drama The Pitt, featuring Noah Wyle, will return for a third season, starting January 7th. The renewal was announced right before the second season began, demonstrating the network’s strong belief in the show’s success.
Good news for viewers of Bill Maher’s Real Time: HBO has renewed the show for two more seasons, ensuring it will be on the air through 2028.
Beyond that, late 2025 also brought good news for fans of the hockey series, Heated Rivalry. It was renewed for a second season in December. The show follows Shane and Ilya, two competitive hockey players who find love in a surprising turn of events.
In early December, the drama series Rage was renewed for another season. The show centers around five women navigating incredibly stressful circumstances that push them to their limits.
Good news for fans of Game of Thrones! House of the Dragon has been renewed for a fourth season, which will conclude the show’s story about the Targaryen family. Plus, the new spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is coming back for a second season – even before the first season has finished airing!
Several shows have been renewed for second seasons recently, including the crime drama “Task” starring Mark Ruffalo, and Tim Robinson’s dark comedy “The Chair Company,” both getting the go-ahead in November. Around the same time, Rachel Sennott’s comedy “I Love LA,” which centers on a group of friends living in Los Angeles, also received a second season order.
HBO appears to be rebounding after a challenging year that included several show cancellations. They have a solid lineup of both returning shows and exciting new projects planned, promising a lot of great content for viewers in 2026.
