We polled nearly 5,000 of our readers on 2026's most anticipated show — and there was a clear winner
We asked our readers what their most anticipated show for the rest of 2026 is, and nearly 5,000 responded. Reacher and Slow Horses lead the pack.
In the last month, Tom's Guide polled nearly 5,000 readers to determine their most anticipated TV show of 2026. Superhero series, prestige television, and new releases were among the options. The poll focused on upcoming shows, as some previously popular ones had already dropped. The winner of the poll was the sixth season of "Slow Horses" on Apple TV+, starring Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden.
It received nearly 1,000 votes, or 20% of the total. Second was "The Terminal List" season 2 on Prime Video, with 416 votes (8%). "Reacher" spin-off "Neagley" followed with 400 votes (8%). The poll's bottom five consisted of HBO Max's Harry Potter reboot, Peacock's "Crystal Lake" Friday the 13th prequel series, Netflix's "The Witcher" season 5, and Apple TV+'s "Outer Banks" season 5.
