Here Are the Family-Friendly Movies & TV Shows Coming in 2026
From returning series to new films and shows, check out the releases that everyone can enjoy.
If you’re looking for entertainment for your kids, look no further: Billboard Family has it covered. There are plenty of new movies and shows – and returning series as well – that will provide hours of enjoyment for the whole family.
With big-screen sequels (The Super Mario Galaxy, The Mandalorian and Grogu, Toy Story 5, Minions 3, The Angry Birds Movie 3) and new versions of older properties (The Cat and the Hat, the live-action remake of Disney’s Moana, a feature-length Paw Patrol flick), as well as new stories like the sports comedy GOAT, the science-fiction animal tale Hoppers and the story of two friends caught in a magical world called Forgotten Island, theaters will have many options for you and your children.
On the smaller screen, returning series like Pokemon Horizons: Season 3: Rising Hope and Yo Gabba GabbaLand! make their premieres, while PBS Kids offers the new show Phoebe & Jay.
Scroll through for the upcoming release dates (we’ve noted MPAA ratings where available) and we will be updating this calendar throughout the year. And if you’re unsure whether the show or movie is appropriate, watch the trailer or an episode for yourself before showing your kids.)
