Winter TV 2026 brings revivals and finales, from 'Scrubs' to 'Outlander'

Television and streaming platforms are offering a crowded winter slate in early 2026, with returning favorites, revivals and new series across broadcast networks and streamers.

The season includes high-profile revivals and returns: a 10th season of Scrubs with original cast members on ABC (premiering Feb. 25), a Malcolm in the Middle mini‑series on Hulu (April 10) and Patrick Dempsey in a network role in Memory of a Killer on Fox (Jan. 25). Other notable entries named by the critic include Marvel’s Wonder Man on Disney+ (Jan. 27), the eighth and final season of Outlander on Starz (March 6) and the fifth and final season of The Boys on Amazon Prime Video (April 8).

The critic noted that the old big‑four broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox — all appear on the list and that the selections are presented in chronological order. All dates are subject to change, and the article is the critic’s selection of notable shows for the coming months; Mike Hale is the television critic who compiled the list.
