2026 is toning up to be an absolutely crazy year for fantasy and sci-fi viewers– and these are my 10 most anticipated publication releases of the year.
From the long-awaited conclusion of Red Rising to new Dungeon Crawler Carl mayhem, epic fantasy standalones, pirate magic, superhero finales, and genre-bending sci-fi, this listing covers every little thing I’m directly hyped to read in 2026.
