Netflix has continued an impressive run of streaming dominance in 2026 with massive shows and movies taking over various genres, some even earning enough views to make streaming history. The first big Netflix project of 2026 that comes to mind is War Machine, the sci-fi thriller starring Alan Ritchson that earned enough views to land a spot in Netflix’s all-time top 10. Ritchson is best known for his role in Prime Video’s Reacher, which is a must-watch for fans of another popular Netflix action show, The Night Agent, starring Gabriel Basso. Netflix has released three seasons of The Night Agent to date, and despite viewership declining throughout each season, Netflix has renewed the show for Season 4, which is also confirmed to be the final season of the beloved action show.

One Netflix show that has emerged in the last few years as one of the most popular the platform has to offer is The Lincoln Lawyer, which is based on the series of legal thriller novels by Michael Connelly. If you’re wondering where you’ve heard Connelly’s name before, he also penned the beloved Bosch novels that resulted in Titus Welliver’s hit crime series on Prime Video. Netflix has aired four seasons of The Lincoln Lawyer since the show debuted in 2022, with one final season on the way next year, likely within the first few months of 2027. Netflix is almost ready to say goodbye to the original Lincoln Lawyer series, but there’s another show coming soon to the platform that’s going to scratch that same itch before the fifth and final season airs next year. We’re talking, of course, about Will Trent, the ABC crime thriller show starring Ramón Rodríguez.

Here’s When ‘Will Trent’ Begins Streaming on Netflix

Will Trent has been a staple legal drama/crime thriller on ABC for several years now, with new episodes streaming exclusively on Hulu and Disney Plus after they air on the network. The show has been renewed for Season 5, but it’s not expected to arrive until sometime next year. However, fans don’t have to wait until then to watch episodes of the show, as several seasons of Will Trent are confirmed to begin streaming on Netflix on November 3. This is part of a larger deal between Disney and Netflix that also allows other shows to stream on Netflix, such as Percy Jackson and Tracker.

Check out Will Trent on Netflix starting November 3 and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of all the hottest projects on streaming.
