Netflix has announced significant changes to its upcoming series schedule, particularly for some of its popular shows, including “Wednesday,” “Ginny & Georgia,” and “Untamed.” These series, along with several others, will not be making their anticipated returns until 2027.
Changes in Netflix’s 2026 TV Slate
Despite Netflix’s proactive approach to early renewals for various drama series, several notable shows are absent from its 2026 lineup. The slate includes established favorites like “Outer Banks,” “The Witcher,” and “Bridgerton,” but misses key series like “Wednesday,” “Ginny & Georgia,” and the freshman titles “Ransom Canyon,” “Untamed,” and “Forever.”
Scheduled Delays for Key Series
- Wednesday: Starring Jenna Ortega, the supernatural comedy is facing delays. Season 2 will follow nearly three years after Season 1 due to production complexities and industry strikes. Recently renewed for Season 3, filming is expected to begin in February 2026, targeting a 2027 release.
- Ginny & Georgia: The mother-daughter comedy-drama released its second season in 2023. Although Season 3 was slated for 2025, filming for Season 4 began in fall 2023 and is projected to conclude in February 2024, pushing its premiere to 2027.
- Untamed: This crime drama starring Eric Bana aims to change its format from a limited series to an ongoing one. After a successful first season in July, production on Season 2 will occur this year, with an expected release in early 2027.
Impact of Production Challenges
Production delays stem from various challenges. “Wednesday” requires extensive production time, akin to series like “Stranger Things.” “Ginny & Georgia” is on a two-year cycle, while “Untamed” is still adapting following its initial success.
Other Shows Missing from 2026 Schedule
Other absent series include the international shows “Supacell,” “Dept. Q,” and the Canadian adaptation “Bet.” These series have also faced production delays, with “Supacell” experiencing cast changes that impacted its timeline. Additionally, “Geek Girl,” recently renewed for its second season, has completed filming but is not listed in the 2026 slate.
Conclusion
The postponements for “Wednesday,” “Ginny & Georgia,” and “Untamed” to 2027 highlight the challenges Netflix faces in managing its production timelines. As fans eagerly await the returns of these beloved series, they can expect a rich lineup of new content to fill the coming years.
