Netflix has revealed its Arabic-language programming slate for 2026, featuring a mix of returning reality franchises, new drama series and original feature films. The titles span drama, romance, thriller, horror and unscripted entertainment, continuing the platform’s push into regional storytelling.
While the line-up includes returning favourites such as the Emmy-nominated Love is Blind, Habibi, Alkhallat+ and Dubai Bling, release dates for the films have yet to be announced.
Here are the projects announced so far:
From The Ashes: The Pit
A follow-up to From the Ashes, one of the most globally successful Arabic-language Netflix releases, the film centres on three former friends forced into a reckoning after becoming trapped in a pit during a schoolyard collapse. Starring Moudi Abdullah, Aseel Morya, Aseel Seraj and Wafa Al Wafi, the story explores fractured friendships, guilt and unresolved trauma under mounting pressure.
