So far, 2026 is full of promise .. when it comes to television, at least.

Looking to February, fans can watch the next season of *The Night Agent*, or if reality is more your thing, there's always *Survivor*. And last but not least, the revival you've been waiting for: *Scrubs* is about to be back in your life!
