2025 isn't over yet, but that hasn't stopped HBO Max from giving us our first official look at some of its biggest shows that'll debut next year.
In an absolutely stuffed 'new in 2026' trailer, one of the world's best streaming services has given us a taste of some of the most notable HBO TV Originals that'll drop after New Year's Day.

There's something for everyone, too. By my count, 17 new and returning series are part of this HBO Max sizzle reel and, in the majority of cases, the footage that makes up said video is the first visual tease we've seen for them.
Take Lanterns, the next DC Universe (DCU) TV show that's set to arrive sometime in mid-2026 and is one of my most anticipated shows of the next 12 months, for instance.
Until today (December 12), a single image is all we've had to work with – in an official capacity, anyway – for the DCU Chapter One project. Thanks to the above trailer, though, we can finally see we've not only seen the Green Lantern TV show's first footage, but also Aaron Pierre's John Stewart and Kyle Chandler's Hal Jordan in action for the first time.
With Supergirl's first trailer taking flight yesterday (December 11) and now Lanterns' first official footage being unveiled, DC devotees have certainly feasted well over the last 24 hours. Want to know more about these projects? Check out my Supergirl hub and Lanterns guide for more details.
To focus solely on DC Studios' next two productions, however, would do a disservice to the other great HBO TV shows scheduled for 2026.
