Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet in 'Pride and Prejudice'
2026 is the year of love. No matter how much the world feels like it’s falling apart, a good love story can be the perfect escape. At the very least, these stories are something to take our minds off reality for a while.
Last year, television delivered romance in all kinds of settings, from the streets of London in Too Much, to the jungles of The Narrow Road to the Deep North, and even to Jeju Island in When Life Gives You Tangerines. This time around, the genre is opening its arms even wider, with everything from returning fan-favorite series to fresh adaptations based on New York Times bestselling novels. Without further ado, here are the upcoming romance shows you won’t want to miss. 'Love on the Spectrum' Season 4 Love on the Spectrum returns for Season 4, with a lot more romance to spare. The Emmy Award-winning series continues to show that the dating experience is universal, including for those within the neurodivergent community. Whether it's building meaningful relationships or just putting themselves out there to make new friends, it's hard not to root for everyone as they step outside their comfort zones. This season brings in new faces like Logan Pereira, Emma Sue Miller, and Dylan Aguliar, while also catching up with familiar favorites like Connor Tomlinson and Madison Marilla. As always, the show presents the sweet, heartwarming evolutions of these individuals. But such is the nature of dating, there's bound to be heartbreak. Brace yourself, as these new love stories are ready to bloom. 'Pride and Prejudice' Jane Austen's seminal 1813 novel is being adapted for the screen once again. Pride & Prejudice walked so modern rom-coms could run, often regarded as the original blueprint for the genre. The story first made a major impact on screen with the 1995 BBC adaptation starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. While that version is frequently praised for its faithfulness to the source material, it's the 2005 film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen that feels like a true marriage between cinema and literature. This time around, Emma Corrin fills the shoes of Elizabeth Bennet, the leading woman with a"sparkling" wit beyond her years, but a dangerously astute level of self-awareness. Although their perception of society is as sharp as her intelligence, Elizabeth just can't wrap her head around Mr. Darcy, who this time will be played by Jack Lowden. Although their timeless romance remains the beating heart of Pride & Prejudice, the residents of Hertfordshire — brought to life by a cast featuring Olivia Colman and Rufus Sewell — help rejuvenate this adaptation for modern audiences. 'The Miniature Wife' Being the bigger person means a lot differently in The Miniature Wife. Lindy and Les Littlejohn are the ultimate power couple — or at least one half of them. Lindy has won a Pulitzer for her work, while Les has yet to receive a Nobel Prize. Les guarantees that this shrinking technology is going to change the landscape of scientific research. But when Lindy makes fun of his work, the flustered Les accidentally shrinks his wife to 6 inches tall. The 1989 sci-fi comedy Honey, I Shrunk the Kids famously popularized the size-shifting gimmick, but The Miniature Wife uses the same gag to explore something far more intimate. Lindy and Les are both ambitious, but from the trailer alone, it's clear that Les is less confident of the two. It doesn't help that he has yet to find a size-reverting antidote. For most of their relationship, Lindy has been the"bigger" person in terms of achievement. Now that she's smaller than Les' finger, the power dynamics completely shift. 'XO, Kitty' Season 3 It's a long way from home for Kitty . Season 3 of XO, Kitty takes place in the aftermath of the talent competition, where Kitty exposes Stella's blackmail scheme and dismantles her plan. With the truth revealed, Stella is removed, and despite earlier sabotage, Eunice wins the competition and earns a spot on tour. As for her family, Kitty finally crosses off one of her personal checklists when she reunites her grandmother with her estranged sister. Romantically, Kitty finally decides what her heart wants. She finally begins to move on from Yuri . Instead, her feelings shift toward Min Ho , who has supported her throughout the season. Though she can't fully confess, Kitty chooses to join him on tour. With the two sharing an unresolved past, this tour might be the one chance to figure out if they're a thing. 'Off Campus' Thanks to Heated Rivalry, sports are officially now the new sexy. Arriving this year is another hockey-based series based on the New York Times bestselling novel series, Off-Campus. Written by Elle Kennedy, the series brings opposites-attract energy to the ice. Hannah Wells is confident in almost every aspect of her life. There's just one little problem: her crush doesn't notice her. In true Hannah fashion, she comes up with the ultimate pretend date scheme to make her crush jealous. Hannah's got the perfect fake date candidate: college bad boy and hockey captain Garrett Graham . His future in professional hockey is about to come into fruition, but unfortunately, his low GPA won't do. When Hannah offers to tutor him in exchange for his cooperation, Garrett simply agrees. What the two don't realize is that their innocent, unexpected kiss is about to turn into one of the wildest nights of their lives.Show Do You Belong In? Yellowstone · Landman · Tulsa King · Mayor of Kingstown Four worlds. All of them brutal, complicated, and built on power, loyalty, and the price of survival. Taylor Sheridan doesn't write heroes — he writes people who do what they have to do and live with the cost. Ten questions will reveal which one of his worlds you were made for. 🤠Yellowstone 🛢️Landman 👑Tulsa King ⚖️Mayor of Kingstown FIND YOUR WORLD → QUESTION 1 / 10POWER 01 Where does your power come from? In Sheridan's world, everyone has leverage. The question is what kind. ALand, legacy, and a name that's been feared and respected for generations. BKnowing the deal better than anyone else in the room — and being willing to walk away first. CReputation. I've earned it the hard way, and everyone in the room knows it. DBeing the only person both sides will talk to. That makes me indispensable — and dangerous. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 10LOYALTY 02 Who do you put first, no matter what? Loyalty in Sheridan's universe is always absolute — and always costly. AFamily — blood or chosen. The ranch, the name, the people who carry it with me. BThe company — or whoever's signing the cheques. Loyalty follows the contract. CMy crew. The men who stood with me when it counted — I don't abandon them for anything. DMy community — even when my community is a powder keg and I'm the only thing stopping it from blowing. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 10CONFLICT 03 Someone crosses a line. How do you respond? Every Sheridan protagonist has a line. What matters is what happens after it's crossed. AQuietly, decisively, and in a way that sends a message to everyone watching. BI outmanoeuvre them legally, financially, and politically before they even know I've moved. CDirectly. Old school. You cross me, you hear about it to your face — and then you deal with the consequences. DI absorb it, calculate the fallout, and find the move that keeps the whole system from collapsing. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 10SETTING 04 Where do you feel most in your element? Sheridan's worlds are as much about place as they are about people. AWide open land — mountains, sky, silence. Somewhere you can see trouble coming from a mile away. BThe oil fields of West Texas — brutal, lucrative, and indifferent to whoever happens to be standing on top of them. CA mid-size city where the rules haven't quite caught up yet — fertile ground for someone with vision and nerve. DA rust-belt town built around a prison — where everyone's life is shaped by what's inside those walls. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 10MORALITY 05 How do you feel about operating in the grey? Nobody in a Sheridan show has clean hands. The question is how they carry the dirt. AI do what has to be done to protect what's mine. I'll answer for it eventually — but not today. BGrey is just business. The line moves depending on what's at stake, and I move with it. CI have a code — it's not the law's code, but it's mine, and I don't break it. DI've made peace with it. Keeping the peace requires compromises most people don't have the stomach for. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 10AMBITION 06 What are you actually fighting to hold onto? Every Sheridan character is fighting a war. The real question is what they're defending. AA way of life that the modern world is doing everything it can to erase. BMy position — and the leverage that comes with being the person everyone needs to close a deal. CRelevance. I've been away, I've been written off — and I'm proving that was a mistake. DWhatever fragile order I've managed to build — because without it, everything burns. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 10LEADERSHIP 07 How do you lead? Authority in Sheridan's world is never given — it's established, maintained, and constantly tested. ABy example and force of will. People follow me because they believe in what I'm protecting — and because they know what happens if they don't. BThrough negotiation and leverage. I don't need people to like me — I need them to need me. CBy being the smartest, most experienced person in the room and making sure everyone quietly knows it. DBy being the calm centre of a situation that would spiral without me — and accepting that nobody thanks you for it. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 10OUTSIDERS 08 Someone new arrives and tries to change how things work. Your reaction? Every Sheridan show has an outsider disrupting an established order. Sometimes that outsider is you. AThey'll learn. Or they won't. Either way, the land was here before them and it'll be here after. BI figure out what they want, what they're worth, and whether they're an asset or a problem — fast. CI was the outsider once. I give them a chance — one — to show they understand respect. DNew players destabilise everything I've built. I assess the threat and manage it before it manages me. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 9 / 10COST 09 What has your position cost you? Nobody gets to where these characters are without paying for it. The bill is always personal. AMy family's peace — maybe their innocence. The ranch demands everything, and I've let it take too much. BRelationships, time, any version of a normal life. The job eats everything that isn't nailed down. CYears. Decades in some cases. Time I can't get back — but I'm not done yet. DMy conscience, mostly. And the ability to ever fully trust anyone on either side of the wall. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 10 / 10LEGACY 10 When it's over, what do you want people to say? Sheridan's characters all know the ending is coming. The question is what they leave behind. AThat I held the line. That the land is still ours and everything I did was worth it. BThat I was the best at what I did and that no deal ever got closed without me at the table. CThat I built something real, somewhere nobody expected it, and I did it on my own terms. DThat I kept the peace when nobody else could — and that the town is still standing because of it. REVEAL MY SHOW → Sheridan Has Spoken You Belong In… The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you're complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes. 🤠 Yellowstone 🛢️ Landman 👑 Tulsa King ⚖️ Mayor of Kingstown YELLOWSTONE You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world's indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you're willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family's weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what's yours, you don't escalate — you finish it. You're not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone's world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn't make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it. LANDMAN You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You're a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they'll do to get it. You're not naive enough to think this world is fair. You're smart enough to be the one deciding who it's fair to. TULSA KING You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you're not above reminding people that the two aren't mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they'd be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they're more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don't need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land. MAYOR OF KINGSTOWN You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you're the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky's world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You've made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless. ↻ RETAKE THE QUIZ 'Every Year After' The Summer I Turned Pretty might have ended last year, but there's a new summer love story arriving on Prime Video. Based on the Canadian BookTok sensation by Carley Fortune, the streaming platform is bringing Every Year After to life. Persephone"Percy" Fraser has long left home for the city, spending her young adolescence in a sleek and stylish apartment. More importantly, it's the one place where she can keep her distance from everyone, including Sam Florek . In a People We Meet on Vacation-like fashion, the original novel is told over"six summers in the past and one weekend in the present." Percy thought she had seen the last of Barry's Bay, let alone heard from Sam. But after receiving word of his mother's death, Percy doesn't think twice. She packs her bags and races back to the one place that once served as the backdrop for a relationship that could have been. 'The Hunting Wives' Season 2 Some romantic pursuits are risky to pursue. However, The Hunting Wives shows that a little danger could be the solution to a jaded relationship. Previously in Season 1, The Hunting Wives introduces newcomer Sophie O'Neill , who had just moved from Massachusetts to Maple Brook, East Texas. It doesn't take long for her to make friends with the town's gun-loving elite, who are led by Margo Banks . Much of The Hunting Wives revolves around these mysterious socialites, who do their best to maintain a flawless facade while hiding their instability. That said, none of the romance in this show is the cookie-cutter kind. There are no wholesome love stories — only a volatile attraction between Sophie and Margo. With Sophie hiding her past DUI incident and Margo in an open marriage, it seems like all the rules are off when you're part of the rich.
