Summer is going to be a wonderful time in TV land, and I'll always be grateful for good summer shows. Netflix's lineup through the end of August has some shows that I'm definitely bookmarking; from the return of some fan favorites (like Ransom Canyon season 2 and the final season of Outer Banks) to some brand new debuts, this is one summer we'll remember for a long time.
Here are 8 new Netflix shows premiering this summer 2026.

Sweet Magnolias season 5 will feature plenty of romantic moments, but it's also chock full of friendship and family, which I'm always happy to see.

This Netflix show feels like the perfect combination of classic nostalgia and a fresh series. It tells the story of the Ingalls family as they move out from Wisconsin to Kansas — and all the danger, adventures, and community waiting for them.
Ransom Canyon season 2 — Watch on Netflix Now

Ransom Canyon season 2 has a lot to deliver on after that insane season 1 finale. I need Quinn (Minka Kelly) and Stanton's (Josh Duhamel) relationship status ASAP — and I need to know what's up with Yancy's (Jack Schumacher) secret wife, like, yesterday!
My Life With the Walter Boys season 3 — Watch on Netflix Now
Netflix
Season 3 is the best season yet of this new summer show, and in addition to Cole (Noah LaLonde), Jackie (Nikki Rodriguez), and Alex's (Ashby Gentry) usual issues, there's so much family drama, not to mention some commentary on grief. Buckle up, y'all. I need season 4 STAT!

One final mission to have a good time, all the time brings the Pogues back to the OBX for another treasure hunt, another hurricane, and plenty of adventure. I can't believe this show is over!!! Check out our interviews with the Outer Banks cast once you binge the full season ;).
