omg, another year of TV shows and adaptations ๐Ÿ™„... like we needed more to binge-watch in 2026 ๐Ÿ“บ. but seriously, have you seen the lineup? a bunch of 'based on' stuff ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ, it's like they're all trying to out-binge each other ๐Ÿ˜‚. line of duty is coming back for another season, great ๐Ÿ‘... meanwhile, phoebe waller-bridge's tomb raider is taking over prime video ๐Ÿค‘... i guess we'll just have to wait and see if her character is as 'tomb-raidingly awesome' as hers was in the last one ๐Ÿ˜.
 
๐Ÿ˜Š I'm so excited for these new adaptations! Phoebe Waller-Bridge is doing a Tomb Raider, and it's gonna be lit ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ”ช I loved her work on Fleabag, and I'm hyped to see what she'll bring to this iconic character. And that Trinity series on Netflix? It looks so intense and gripping ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ I've been hearing great things about these shows, and I'm counting down the days until they drop! Can't wait to binge-watch them all ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ‘€
 
I'm so excited about all these new shows coming out in 2026! ๐Ÿคฉ It's gonna be a great year for TV, especially with Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider and Trinity on Netflix ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ‘€ I've heard good things about her work, so I'm sure it'll be awesome. And Disney+ is finally getting some solid adaptations done - War looks intense! ๐Ÿ’ฅ I'm a bit curious about Time though... what's that all about? Is it gonna be like The Handmaid's Tale or something similar? ๐Ÿค”
 
I'm telling you, something fishy is going on here... have you seen all these TV shows coming out in 2026? It's like they're trying to brainwash us or something ๐Ÿค”. First off, why do we need a reboot of Tomb Raider again? And what's with all the BBC shows dropping at the same time? W1A, Trinity, Time... it's like they're trying to control our minds with formulaic British drama ๐Ÿ˜ด. And don't even get me started on Phoebe Waller-Bridge's show - is she in cahoots with the government or something? ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ I'm not buying any of this, it's just too convenient...
 
omg I just saw the cutest video of a puppy who learned how to surf ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™‚๏ธ and it totally made my day! anyway, back to this list... I'm thinking about Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider in 2026? what if they cast someone entirely different from Lara Croft? would that even be a good idea or am I just being too picky ๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ‘€. btw, has anyone tried those new gaming controllers with haptic feedback? it sounds soooo immersive ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ’ป
 
omg u guys!! ๐Ÿคฏ just saw that there's like so many new shows coming out in 2026 lol Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider is already making waves ๐ŸŒŠ i mean, I love her work on Fleabag and Killing Eve, but can't she do everything? ๐Ÿ˜‚ also what's up with the lack of LGBTQ+ representation, like shouldn't we be seeing more shows about queer characters by now? ๐Ÿค” and what's with all the Tomb Raider adaptations, is it just a new franchise or something? ๐Ÿค“ anyways, I'm low-key hyped for some of these releases, especially War on Disney+ ๐ŸŽฅ let's see if they can deliver! ๐Ÿ’ช
 
omg can't wait for 2026 ๐Ÿคฏ i'm so down for some new phoebe waller-bridge projects, her shows are always on point ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ w1a is still one of my fave bbc shows, who's excited for twenty twenty six tho? ๐Ÿ“บ maybe we'll see some british talent get some recognition on the international scene. also, tomb raider is due in 2026... fingers crossed they cast a diverse lead ๐Ÿคž
 
I'm loving all these new shows coming out in '26, but let's take a step back... aren't we already flooded with shows about, like, trauma & war & stuff? It feels like every other day someone's putting out another adaptation of a bestselling book or whatnot ๐Ÿคฏ. I mean, can we really handle that many intense dramas? And what's up with all the '24' vibes โ€“ first Tomb Raider and now War on Disney+? Are we living in some kind of alternate universe where everyone wants to watch war & trauma all day long? ๐Ÿ˜’
 
omg I'm so over all these new shows coming out in 2026 lol like who needs more TV options when we can't even agree on what's good rn? I swear, every time a new show drops we get another adaptation of an old book/manga/whatever and it's just meh I need some originality here ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. And don't even get me started on the BBC trying to reboot everything from 2011 ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ˜’. Can't they come up with something new for once? And what's with all these shows about war and testaments? Like, can't we just watch some light-hearted content for a change? ๐Ÿคฃ
 
omg I'm so confused about all these new shows ๐Ÿคฏ like when is phoebe waller-bridge's tomb raider actually coming out in 2026? isn't it a little weird that almost every show has the same release date lol 2026 can't come soon enough for me though! ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ‘€ what's with all these adaptations from the past too, like twenty twelve and w1a? are they trying to bring back old memories or something? ๐Ÿค” i'm also curious about the shows that aren't even released yet, do we know anything about them at all? is it just a bunch of speculation or is there some info out there that we're not seeing? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
 
omg i'm so excited for these new tv shows and adaptations ๐Ÿคฉ, its been a while since we had some good ones coming out... like, have you seen 'it's a sin'?? that was such an emotional rollercoaster for me, and i loved how it tackled those tough topics ๐Ÿค—. and now we've got even more on the way - phoebe waller-bridge's tomb raider is giving me LIFE!!! can't wait to see what she does with this project ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ
 
๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ’ก I think we're in for a wild ride with Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider, gotta love her unique style ๐Ÿค . But what's up with all these 2026 releases? Are they trying to cram as many shows into our schedules as possible? ๐Ÿคฏ It's already getting crazy with the recent ones like Line of Duty and The Handmaid's Tale... did we really need more adaptations, or are we just running out of ideas? ๐Ÿ“ And what about the BBC shows, Twenty Twelve and W1A? Can't they just stick to their usual schedule for once? ๐Ÿ˜’
 
Wow ๐Ÿคฏ, so many awesome shows coming up in 2026! I'm literally counting down the days until these popular titles drop on our screens... Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider is going to be epic ๐Ÿ’ฅ, and I'm loving that Trinity is getting a Netflix adaptation - can't wait to see what kind of action-packed drama it brings ๐Ÿคบ. And the Handmaid's Tale spin-off? That looks so intense and thought-provoking... interesting how all these shows are coming out in 2026 though, must be a big year for TV ๐Ÿ“บ.
 
omg u guys have u seen any of these shows?? i'm literally dying over here!! they're all soooo good!!! it's a sin is still giving me all the feels ๐Ÿคฉ, line of duty has me on the edge of my seat every week ๐ŸŽฅ, and the handmaid's tale is just so thought provoking it makes u think about the world we live in ๐Ÿ’ก. but omg what is going on with the release dates??? are they trying to confuse us or wut?? first of all, phoebe waller-bridge's tomb raider can't come soon enough ๐Ÿ™Œ, and then trinity drops 2026? like woooah! it's gonna be a wild ride so here's to hoping these shows are everything we're expecting!! ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ“บ
 
omg have u heard about these new adaptations?! i'm literally counting down the days till 2026 can't wait to see phoebe waller-bridge's tomb raider & trinity on prime video & netflix respectively!! also, tip toe on channel 4 is gonna be a banger!!
i've been following the news about these projects for ages and i'm so hyped that they're finally happening! it's amazing how much great content is being made right now, especially with all these tv shows based on bestselling books/tomb raider etc.
anyway, just wanted to share my excitement w u!! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ“บ
 
I donโ€™t usually comment but... Iโ€™m getting a bit hyped for next year's TV shows ๐Ÿคฉ! Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider and Trinity on Prime Video and Netflix respectively sound like must-watches, can't wait to see those epic adventures come to life. And itโ€™s always exciting to have new BBC productions like Time, W1A reboots, or Twenty Twenty Six - love how the network is trying out different genres ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ’ก. The Handmaid's Tale adaptation still holds up well too ๐Ÿค. Also, Disney+ seems to be making some interesting choices with The Testaments and War... curious to see how they turn out! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
 
omg have you guys noticed how tv shows & movies are all about the same kinda stuff lately? like, we're already seeing a bunch of shows come out in '26 that's just gonna be adaptations of books or games... what's next? are we just gonna run out of original ideas ๐Ÿคฏ?

i mean, don't get me wrong, i love a good adaptation as much as the next person, but it feels like we're rehashing old stories over & over again. can't we come up with something new for once? ๐Ÿ™„ and btw, what's with all these shows coming out in '26 at the same time? is that just some kinda weird TV calendar or something? ๐Ÿ“†
 
I'm so glad we're finally getting some more TV shows on Netflix ๐ŸŒŸ! I've been waiting for a new show from Phoebe Waller-Bridge, she's always brought something unique and fascinating to her projects. And with the Tomb Raider adaptation, I'm both excited and a bit skeptical - can they do justice to the iconic character? ๐Ÿ˜Š

I also love that Disney+ is expanding its lineup with more adaptations like The Testaments and War - it's great to see them taking on some of the most thought-provoking stories out there. And of course, who doesn't want to watch W1A all over again ๐Ÿคฃ? It's just what we need after a long week.

I'm not sure about Trinity though, I mean, with so many shows coming out at once, it's hard to keep track of everything... maybe I'll stick to my usual BBC One shows for now ๐Ÿ˜Š
 
I'm seeing so many of these TV shows and adaptations coming out next year ๐Ÿคฏ... I mean, what's wrong with 'em? Can't we just enjoy some decent programming now? It feels like every time we turn around there's another one hit the market. I guess it's good for the industry or whatever, but as a viewer, I'm already feeling a bit overwhelmed ๐Ÿ˜ฌ.

I do love Phoebe Waller-Bridge though - she's always pushing boundaries and giving us something unique. And Tomb Raider has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid, so I'm excited to see this new adaptation ๐Ÿ’ฅ. But all these release dates in 2026... it's like they're trying to cram an entire year into one week or something! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ Time will tell if they can deliver on all these projects ๐Ÿ“บ
