Netflix Surprises Fans By Announcing Renewals for Eight Original Shows

It’s often disappointing for viewers when popular Netflix series are abruptly ended before they’ve had a chance to grow an audience. Therefore, when Netflix does decide to renew a show, it feels significant. In a surprising turn of events during the yearly Upfronts presentations on Wednesday, Netflix announced that not just one or two, but a total of EIGHT original TV shows will continue for another season, delighting fans worldwide.

Indeed, Netflix has given the green light to eight different television series, planning a grand total of nine new seasons. The renewals span various categories, ensuring that reality shows, dramas, and comedies will continue for more episodes in the time to come.

Among these renewals, the announcement for a fifth and sixth season of “Bridgeton” on Netflix, coming after its fourth season in early 2026, was hardly unexpected, given the show’s immense popularity.

Another romantic book adaption is receiving additional installments too, as Netflix has greenlit another season for Judy Blume’s adaptation titled “Forever.” Similarly, the latest Netflix sensation, “The Four Seasons,” has been given a second season as part of their extensive renewal spree.

On Wednesday, it was announced that both “Survival of the Fittest” and “My Life with the Walter Boys” have been given the green light for another season, marking their third seasons. Additionally, the political series “The Diplomat,” featuring Kerri Russell, has been renewed for a fourth season.

In the end, Netflix has decided to continue two popular reality shows. The heartwarming series “Love on the Spectrum” will return for a fifth installment, following its highly-acclaimed fourth season. Additionally, the suspenseful competition show “Million Dollar Secret,” similar to “Traitors,” has been granted a second season by Netflix.

It’s truly heartening to observe Netflix extending the run of numerous shows, particularly early in their lifespan. The fact that they are investing heavily in a series like “Bridgton” is commendable. While it’s undeniably popular, what makes it stand out is its higher production cost compared to other romance series such as “Virgin River” and “Sweet Magnolias”, due to its elaborate period settings and costumes. By choosing to renew the show for multiple seasons, Netflix has given fans a guarantee that we can enjoy “Bridgton” at least until 2028, and potentially beyond.

One popular Netflix series that garnered significant attention this year but hasn’t been renewed is “Adolescence.” This drama has made history by becoming one of the most-watched shows on Netflix, leading some to believe that new seasons would follow. However, “Adolescence” was intended as a limited series from the start, so additional episodes may not be produced.
