A Different World
Coming to Netflix: September 24, 2026
Cast: Maleah Joi Moon, Jordan Aaron Hall, Alijah Kai, Kennedi Reece, Chibuikem Uche, Cornell Young IV, Method Man, Tichina Arnold, Raven Goodwin, alongside returning original stars Jasmine Guy, Kadeem Hardison, Darryl M. Bell, and Charnele Brown
Welcome back to Hillman College! Decades after the iconic original sitcom reshaped television, Netflix is bringing us a highly anticipated single-camera sequel series to A Different World. The new 10-episode comedy follows Deborah Wayne (Maleah Joi Moon), the youngest daughter of Hillman’s finest, Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert (and yes, Kadeem Hardison and Jasmine Guy are officially reprising their legendary roles!). As Deborah enters her freshman year at her parents’ beloved HBCU alma mater, she quickly finds their massive shadow difficult to escape. Alongside a fresh generation of Hillman’s best and brightest, she sets out to build her own legacy while having the time of her life.
The legacy sequel boasts an incredible team both in front of and behind the camera. Felicia Pride (Bel-Air, Grey’s Anatomy) serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Original series director and producer Debbie Allen returns to direct the pilot and executive produce, alongside heavyweights like Gina Prince-Bythewood, Reggie Rock Bythewood, and Tom Werner. Filming wrapped up in Atlanta earlier this Spring.
A Hundred Percent
Coming to Netflix: 2027
Cast: Vanessa Bayer, Nick Kroll, Diane Lane, Jason Mantzoukas, Sam Richardson, Tiffany Boone, and Lisa Gilroy
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at influencers pushing the perfect 5:00 AM morning routine, this upcoming workplace comedy is tailor-made for you. A Hundred Percent (which has been filming under the working title 100%) follows a group of friends employed within the “Thought Leader industrial complex.” While their self-help books, podcasts, and curated wellness lifestyles are designed to help the rest of us live perfectly, away from the screens and microphones, their actual lives are a complete and utter disaster.
The single-camera ensemble comedy comes from Gabe Liedman (PEN15, Broad City), who serves as showrunner, alongside co-creator and executive producer Nick Kroll (Big Mouth). Kroll also stars in the series, leading an absolute powerhouse comedy cast that includes Vanessa Bayer, Jason Mantzoukas, Sam Richardson, and Academy Award nominee Diane Lane. Backed by a hefty California tax credit, production kicked off in Los Angeles in June 2026 and wraps up at the end of August. With filming finishing up this summer, we are firmly expecting this one to hit Netflix in 2027.
Coming to Netflix: TBA
Cast: David Ashby, Michael Cusack, Dario Russo, and Felicity Ward
Netflix is heading down under for its next adult animated comedy! Set in small-town suburban Australia, Dad’s House follows 13-year-old child of divorce, Sean, who spends every second weekend with his laidback but incredibly well-meaning dad, Ian. As anyone with divorced parents knows, cramming a whole week’s worth of quality dad-time into just 48 hours is already a tall order—but Ian happens to have a remarkable gift for making the entire process so much harder than it needs to be.
This 2D coming-of-age comedy is brought to you by a trio of fantastic Australian comedy talent. David Ashby, Michael Cusack (Smiling Friends, YOLO), and Dario Russo serve as the writers, showrunners, and executive producers, and they also lead the voice cast alongside comedian Felicity Ward (The Office Australia). The series is being co-produced by Australia’s Princess Pictures and animation powerhouse Bento Box Entertainment (Bob’s Burgers). Having just been ordered to series in April 2026 and currently sitting in pre-production, animation timelines mean we likely won’t be checking into Dad’s House until late 2027 or 2028.
DANG!
Coming to Netflix: Expected 2026
Cast: Stephanie Hsu, Andrew Law, and Poppy Liu
This half-hour animated comedy follows a brother-and-sister duo living their best messy lives in New York City. However, their chaotic fun comes to a screeching halt when their absolute worst nightmare comes true: their highly successful, high-achieving older sister shows up out of the blue and actually wants to hang out with them.
Behind the scenes, this project boasts an incredible comedy pedigree. The series was created by Andrew Law (The Good Place) and Matt Murray (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), who serve as writers and showrunners, while television heavyweights Michael Schur (Parks and Recreation) and Alan Yang (Master of None) are attached as executive producers. Universal Television is producing alongside the acclaimed animation studio Titmouse (Big Mouth). With a stellar voice cast that includes Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Poppy Liu (Hacks), and co-creator Andrew Law, this one is shaping up to be a must-watch. Though initially eyed for a 2026 premiere, the series is currently in pre-production, so a late 2026 or 2027 release seems most likely.
Dealies
Coming to Netflix: TBA
Cast: TBA
If you’re a fan of adult animation, Netflix is stocking the shelves with this brand-new supernatural workplace comedy that comes from the creative team behind the brilliant Scavengers Reign. Dealies follows the bizarre, eclectic staff of a local big-box store, whose roster includes a savant salesman, a gentle gladiator, a quiet virtuoso, a summoner of the divine, and, naturally, the poor soul who actually hired them. Described as “masters of the delicate alchemy of trade,” these retail workers are the prophets of enterprise—and occasionally, they even manage to get some actual work done.
The half-hour animated series is being brought to life by co-showrunners, writers, and executive producers Joe Bennett and Ted Travelstead, with Green Street Pictures serving as the animation studio. Netflix officially handed out a series order in June 2026, and the project is currently in the early stages of pre-production. Given the longer lead times required for animation, we likely won’t see this crew clock in until late 2027 or 2028, but we’re already completely sold.
Hollywood Arts
Coming to Netflix: Late 2026
Cast: Peyton Jackson, Martin Kamm, Emmy Liu-Wang, Alyssa Miles, Daniella Monet, Erika Swayze, and Yvette Nicole Brown
Get ready for a massive dose of nostalgia! The Victorious universe is officially expanding with Hollywood Arts, a brand-new multi-camera sitcom spinoff. The series follows a now-adult (but still struggling) Trina Vega (Daniella Monet) who returns to her former stomping grounds as a deeply unqualified substitute teacher. Naturally, she quickly finds herself clashing with—and unexpectedly inspiring—a brand-new generation of highly ambitious and talented teens trying to make it at Hollywood’s most elite performing arts school. Fans of the golden era of Nickelodeon will also be thrilled to see Yvette Nicole Brown guest-starring to reprise her iconic role as Principal Helen.
The spinoff is being spearheaded by showrunners, writers, and executive producers Jake Farrow and Samantha Martin, with Monet also serving as an executive producer and Jonathan Judge directing the pilot. Production on the whopping 26-episode season officially wrapped in Vancouver earlier this year, so the series is already in the can. Hollywood Arts will make its grand debut on Netflix later in 2026 before eventually rolling out on Nickelodeon and Paramount+.
I Suck at Girls
Coming to Netflix: TBA (Expected 2027)
Cast: Taegen Burns, Anna Konkle, Kayo Martin, Laila Pruitt, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Tory Kittles, J.J. Nolan, Brianna Reed, and Paul Scheer
If you’re looking for your next high school coming-of-age fix, this new single-camera teen comedy should absolutely be on your radar. Based on the book by Justin Halpern (Sh*t My Dad Says), the series follows three awkward high school sophomores as they stumble through the messy, confusing world of teenage romance and identity.
The project has some major comedy heavyweights behind the scenes, with Halpern serving as writer and showrunner alongside Patrick Schumacker (Abbott Elementary, Harley Quinn), and Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Scrubs) attached as an executive producer through his Doozer Productions banner. Filming kicked off in Los Angeles in July 2026 and is scheduled to wrap up in the fall, meaning we expect this one to drop on Netflix sometime in 2027.

Living the Dream
Coming to Netflix: TBA (Expected 2027 or 2028)
Cast: Julia Davis, Chris Diamantopoulos, George Gendi, Stavros Halkias, Ambika Mod, Javone Prince, Tom Stourton, and Ellie White
Netflix’s international adult animation slate continues to grow with Living the Dream, an upcoming 8-episode UK-based comedy. The series centers on London best friends Des and Ray, two guys who are deeply convinced they should have made it big by now. Instead, they find themselves stuck running the social media accounts for a company called Ecofood. Expect plenty of millennial workplace angst as the duo navigates awkward office romances, HR blunders, out-of-touch directives from their L.A. corporate office, and the heavy burden of Ray’s dad’s disapproval.
The series is created by George Gendi, who also pulls double duty as a voice actor on the project. It features an incredibly strong writers’ room that includes Joe Markham, Joe Parham, Phoebe Walsh, and Ellie White, with White also lending her voice to an absolutely stacked cast featuring Ambika Mod (One Day), Chris Diamantopoulos (Silicon Valley), and comedian Stavros Halkias. Produced by Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe and Boulder Media, we recently got to do a deep dive into this series at Annecy.
Minimum Wage
Coming to Netflix: Late 2026
Cast: Tommy Armstrong, Luke Burke, Julia DiCesare, Hyde Healy, Aidan Micho, Ryan Micho, and Grace Reiter
If you’ve ever worked in the food service industry as a teenager, this upcoming workplace comedy is going to hit incredibly close to home. Based on the popular shorts series of the same name from American High, Minimum Wage takes viewers inside the kitchen of a chaotic local pizza shop. The ensemble series follows a group of teen employees just trying to survive power-tripping managers, unhinged dinner rushes, and the slow, inevitable grind of service-industry burnout. As the show’s brilliant logline teases: “The stakes are low. The pressure is immense.”
American High’s Jeremy Garelick (The Binge, The Wedding Ringer) and Will Phelps serve as writers, showrunners, and executive producers on the project. Interestingly, this series is taking on a much shorter, bite-sized format, boasting a massive 28-episode order with a quick 15-minute runtime per episode. Production has already officially wrapped in Liverpool, New York, and it is currently expected to land on Netflix before the end of 2026.
Scooby-Doo: Origins
Coming to Netflix: 2027
Cast: Abby Ryder Fortson, Mckenna Grace, Tanner Hagen, Paul Walter Hauser, Maxwell Jenkins, Sherilyn Fenn, Sara Gilbert, and Bruce McGill
Jinkies! Mystery Inc. is heading back to live-action for Netflix, but this time with a fresh, slightly darker modern twist. Set during their final summer at camp, this 8-episode half-hour reimagining follows old friends Shaggy (Tanner Hagen) and Daphne (Mckenna Grace) as they stumble into a haunting mystery involving a lost Great Dane puppy who may have just witnessed a supernatural murder. Teaming up with pragmatic, science-minded townie Velma (Abby Ryder Fortson) and the strange but handsome new kid Fred (Maxwell Jenkins), the gang is pulled into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their deepest secrets.
Behind the scenes, the series has some serious pedigree. It’s being produced by Warner Bros. Television alongside Greg Berlanti (Riverdale, You), with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg (High Fidelity, Cowboy Bebop) serving as writers, showrunners, and executive producers. Toby Haynes (Andor, Black Mirror) is set to direct the pilot. Production is currently underway in Georgia under the working title Talbot Pines, with filming scheduled to wrap up in September 2026. While an exact date is TBA, we expect the Mystery Machine to roll onto Netflix sometime in 2027.
Uncorked
Coming to Netflix: TBA (Expected 2028)
Cast: TBA
Uncorked is an upcoming single-camera romantic dramedy set in the world of high-stakes winemaking. The series follows a talented but highly self-destructive winemaker who heads back to Napa Valley seeking a second chance at love, her family legacy, and that fiercely elusive 100-point wine rating. Her greatest passion also happens to be her fatal flaw—a problem that usually kicks into gear before lunchtime on a Tuesday.
This one comes from some massive TV heavyweights. Darren Star, the mastermind behind Netflix’s own Emily in Paris as well as Sex and the City, is co-writing, showrunning, and executive producing alongside David Schulner (New Amsterdam). Universal Television and Counterpart Studios are backing the project. While the story is set in California, filming is tentatively slated to kick off in Toronto in May 2027. Given the production timeline, we wouldn’t expect to be in production on this new comedy series until sometime in 2028, but this could change dramatically.
Untitled Hannah Berner & Paige DeSorbo Comedy Series
Coming to Netflix: TBA
Cast: Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo
Giggly Squad fans, rejoice! Best friends, podcast hosts, and reality TV personalities Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo are bringing their hilarious dynamic to Netflix. Set in New York City, this single-camera relationship comedy will star Berner and DeSorbo as fictionalized versions of themselves. The series follows the two ultimate ride-or-dies as they navigate city life, help each other shed their emotional baggage, and emerge as the people they’ve always wanted to be.
The duo is co-writing the pilot alongside Kay Cannon (Pitch Perfect, Blockers), who is set to serve as showrunner and executive producer. Comedy legend Amy Poehler is also on board to executive produce through her Paper Kite Productions banner, alongside Universal Television. The project just landed a script-to-series commitment at Netflix in March 2026 and is currently in active development. Since it’s still in the early writing stages, we likely won’t see this one hit our screens for a while.
- Also on the animated side of things, Achivo Motors is reportedly in development with creators Brett Cawley and Robert Maitia.
- Announced in July 2026 in development, Toxic Moms, if greenlit, will star Ashley Tisdale following a sleep-deprived new mom who’s drawn into a clique of cool, wealthy mothers.
- There’s a long-gestating Wednesday spin-off reportedly in the works following Uncle Fester. No official word on whether this will move forward.
- Matt Rife, who has done a number of specials for Netflix, is working on a new workplace comedy series set at a gym with Irony Point producing.
- The Glen Powell movie Hit Man is reportedly getting a comedy series spin-off, although it’s still early in development.
- Announced in 2024, a Bat Boy adaptation was announced to be in development, and there’s been little update since. Not yet ready to put it in the dumped column.
- Announced a year ago (September 2025), Lena Dunham is developing a new series with Jeremy O. Harris, with Sarah Paulson set to star, called Sex Act.
Looking at the international comedy slate:
- From Brazil, Deixa Nevar with Isabelle Drummond and Just the Two of Us from creator Patricia Leme are the big hitters here.
- From France, Netflix is teaming with TF1 for a series called Johnny Biloute from creator Dany Boon.
- In Italy, Netflix is doing an adaptation of the Argentinian series Envidiosa called Troppo Invidiosa. That’s in addition to a series called Il capo perfetto.
- From India, Puneet Krishna is working on a new dark comedy series, but details remain slim. You’ve also got a new project with Arjun Bijlani and Amyra Dastur called Chumbak.
- Taiwan has a big new medical comedy coming up called How to Survive Med School, which is still to come in 2026 as will a new series called Dogmanstarring Joseph Chang.
And finally, a few projects that we suspect have been quietly shelved which were previously announced:
- Notes on Love with Shonda Rhimes, Norman Lear and Steve Martin was announced all the way back in 2019, but there’s been zero mention in recent years, albeit there’s still a broken page on the Shondaland website.
- Lily Singh was attached to a Kenya Barris project alongside the announcement that her late show on NBC would be ending back in 2021, but there’s been no mention of it since.
- Netflix filmed a pilot for a new comedy for Samara Weaving, Little Sky, although it was later included as a footnote in a Deadline post that Netflix opted out of moving forward with it to series.
That’s that – what do you think of Netflix’s upcoming comedy series slate for the rest of 2026, 2027 and beyond? Let us know in the comments.
