2026 BL Series List

The list of 2026 BL series includes My Romance Scammer, Duang with You, Love Like a Bike, and Peach Lover.

2026 is already delivering some excellent BL content. New dramas are dropping left and right. The genre just keeps expanding. Productions are bigger, stories are more diverse… We're seeing BL tackle themes they wouldn't have touched a few years ago. Whether you're into fluffy romances, intense drama, or something completely weird, there's probably a BL series for you.

This year's releases are super exciting. We're getting adaptations of popular novels that fans have been begging for. And some truly wild concepts that make you go "wait, they're actually making that?" Of course, not every 2026 BL is gonna be a masterpiece. Some will flop hard. Others will start strong and fumble the ending. But that's part of the fun, right? Discovering hidden gems and watching trainwrecks is all part of the BL watching experience.

Fourever You 2 in Akasaka is a Thai BL drama released in 2026.

2026 is shaping up to be another packed year for BL dramas! New series are already airing, while more are announced for later in the year. Psst… the rumour mill is churning about potential surprises. It's hard to predict which 2026 BL series will actually be good, but that's part of the excitement, right? You never know when a random low-budget drama is gonna become everyone's obsession. Or when a highly anticipated series is gonna massively disappoint… We're all just along for the ride.

Check out the 2026 list of BL series, anime, and movies. I will update the list with new dramas on a regular basis.

Cat for Cash is a Thai BL drama released in 2026.

Based on what's already out and what has been announced, 2026 looks like we're getting everything. Fluffy university romances like Fourever You 2. Devastating melodramas like Smile After Tears. Some countries are doubling down on BL production, while newcomers are trying to break into the market. There will definitely be adaptations of popular web novels that fans have been screaming for.

Here's my list of all the BL dramas in 2026. It includes every BL series, movie, or anime that was completed during this year. As we watch more dramas, this list will grow. Many new 2026 BL series will get added, and we'll all collectively lose our minds over whatever couple becomes the next big thing.
