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