10 Best New Kids Shows to Stream & Where to Watch Now

Zombies, Cake, and Dinos: 10 of the Best New Kids Shows to Stream This Month

Your kids will never be able to say “There’s nothing to watch!”

Kids TV can seem pretty bleak if you don’t know where to look for the good stuff. So much is poorly scripted, poorly animated, or just plain annoying. Fortunately, there are plenty of great shows out there to watch. You just have to know how to find them—or at the very least what streaming services to click on to begin your search.

This fall, there are new seasons out of some of your kid’s old favorites, plus plenty of seasonal goodness in the wake of Halloween and with Thanksgiving and Christmas on the horizon. Here’s our guide to 10 of the best new kids shows to stream this month.

10. “Zombies: The Re-Animated Series” (2026)

Got a kid who loves Disney Channel original musicals? Then you’ve probably already seen “Zombies,” the ever-so-charming Romeo and Juliet-style movie about a high school cheerleader and a zombie who fall in love, face adversity, and then change their whole town. Starring Meg Donnelly and Milo Manheim, the film became so popular it sparked a few sequels, including 2025’s “Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires.”

“Zombies: The Re-Animated Series”takes place right before “Zombies 4” and brings back most of the original cast of the original movies. The gang has graduated from Seabrook High and through a series of shorts, get back together for hijinks, songs, and more absurdity. Season two dropped in late October 2026 and wraps up with “The Z-O-M-B-I-E-S: The Re-Animated Series Karaoke Singalong Spectacular,” so be prepared to belt out all your zombified faves.

9. “Max & the Midknights” (2026)

An animated series based on the best-selling children’s books by Lincoln Pierce, “Max and the Midknights” follows Max, a 10-year-old girl determined to become a knight and hellbent on leading her friends on epic adventures. The group is tasked with saving the kingdom of Byjovia, and the show is full of both solid jokes and very fun songs. Though it’s already renewed through season four, only two seasons of “Max” are out at the moment, with the second just hitting TeenNick in mid-October.

8. “Dino Dex: The First Dinosaur” (2026)

A spin-off of the popular “Dino Dex” series, “Dino Dex: The First Dinosaur” follows junior dinosaur expert Dex as he journeys to discover the origin of the giant reptiles we all know and love. Accompanied by older sister Dana and best friend Kayla, Dex also learns a lot about dinosaurs along the way — something dino-obsessed littles should be fully on board with. While the acting and aesthetic aren’t top-notch, it’s innocuous enough and, if you stick around, it could even teach you something.

7. “Hollywood Arts” (2026)

A live-action sitcom for slightly older kids and tweens, “Hollywood Arts” is actually a spin-off of the Nickelodeon series “Victorious,” though you really don’t need to know that to follow along. Set at Hollywood Arts, a fictional SoCal high school focused on the performing arts, “Hollywood Arts” follows Daniella Monet’s Trina Vega as she attempts to guide a group of ragtag but talented teens as they try to find their place in the entertainment industry at large.

6. “Is It Cake: Halloween” (2026)

If you’re a parent, you know “Is It Cake?”, a hit Netflix series hosted by “SNL” castmember Mikey Day, “Is It Cake” asks talented bakers to craft delicious and deceptive edible masterpieces. A panel of comedians and actors then attempts to suss out the cakes from non-cake decoys and the whole thing is a lot harder (and more fun) than one might expect. Kids and adults alike love it and it’s become essential family viewing.

With its latest season, “Is It Cake: Halloween” dives further into spooky culinary delights, even paying tribute to fellow Netflix hit “Wednesday” in one episode. There’s big money and cake-y glory at stake for the winner of the series, too, which makes it all the more delicious.

5. “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir Chibi: Shorts” (2026)

In recent years, Disney has really leaned into the “chibi” genre of animation, producing ultra-ultra-cute versions of some of its most beloved properties. “Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir” is no different, with the pair cast in short, slapstick-heavy but dialog-light bits of animation. Season two, which just dropped in October, features episodes like “The Yo-yo,” “Ping Pong Game,” and “The Theater,” all of which are just plain adorable.

4. “A Proud Family Wizmas” (2026)

Hitting Disney+ and Hulu November 14, “A Proud Family Wizmas” follows Penny Proud as she struggles to rectify the damage she did when she accidentally destroys Christmas. As she quests to make things right for the children of the world (and for her town of Emeryville), Penny discovers the joy of yuletide cheer and — maybe, just maybe — even the true meaning of Christmas. Delightfully animated in stop-motion style, “A Proud Family Wizmas” should be a hit with fans of “The Proud Family” and of Rankin/Bass holiday classics like “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer” alike.

3. “Coven Academy” (2026)

A young-adult series that follows a New York teen named Briar who discovers she’s a witch, “Coven Academy” is set at a sort of magical boarding school in New Orleans. Aimed more at older kids than littles, the series stars Malina Weissman as Briar, Disney Channel musical favorite Malachi Barton as Briar’s love interest Jake, and Tiffani Thiessen as Miss Emma Graves, the firm but fair headmistress of the school. That’s not all that should appeal to ’90s and ’00s kids out there, either: Devon Sawa also makes a guest appearance on the show as Mr. Cole, a warlock and teacher at the school.

2. “Bluey: Fancy Restaurant” (2026)

A silly live-action series of shorts inspired by the Bluey episode of the same name, “Fancy Restaurant” follows adorable Australian kids as they pull out all the stops to plan fancy dates for their unsuspecting parents. There are messes a-plenty, of course, but also lots of really creative and good ideas that your kids might want to emulate themselves. In the episode “The Magical Dining Room,” for instance, a pair of sisters try to enchant their parents with cupcakes while in “Chicken Rat Restaurant,” a trio of siblings turn their house into a ridiculous eatery full of wacky puzzles and mazes.

1. “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” (2026)

Disney+ goes all out for its adaptation of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” and with season three hitting the streaming service November 20, fans should expect a spectacle. Following the plight of a teenage demigod, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” features Greek gods, courageous kids, magical creatures, and copious amounts of teenage and fantasy drama in equal parts. Walker Scobell is great as Percy, and with guest appearances promised from Ming-Na Wen, Jennifer Beals, Kate McKinnon, Holt McCallany, David Costabile, and Jesse L. Martin promised this season, kids and adults alike should find plenty to love.

Stream “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” season three on Disney+ starting November 20.
