A whole slate of beloved books are getting the big-screen treatment in 2026, and we are already making our watch lists! From classic romance to witchy sequels and steamy thrillers, our favorite stories are truly coming to life.

First up, for all our romance novel fans, Emily Henry's delightful People We Meet on Vacation already hit Netflix in January. Get ready for all the will-they-won't-they feels with this one. And speaking of beloved returns, grab your designer heels because The Devil Wears Prada 2 is strutting into theaters on May 1. We cannot WAIT to see what Miranda Priestly is up to now.

For those who love a good mystery with a dose of charm, Shelby Van Pelt’s heartwarming Remarkably Bright Creatures, starring Sally Field and the voice of Alfred Molina as Marcellus the octopus, arrives on Netflix May 8. And if you're looking for some period drama romance, Jane Austen’s timeless Sense And Sensibility gets a fresh take on September 11, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones.

Witches, assemble! The iconic Owens sisters are returning in Practical Magic 2 on September 11, with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock reprising their roles. Seriously, we are SO excited for this magical reunion. And if you’re a fan of Colleen Hoover’s more intense side, her thriller Verity, starring Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, hits theaters October 2. Prepare for a ride!

And for a little eye candy, Jacob Elordi will be in Ridley Scott’s post-apocalyptic film The Dog Stars in August. Plus, Nicholas Galitzine is starring in not one, but two films: Three Bags Full (with Hugh Jackman!) on May 8 and Masters of the Universe in June. We are really being spoiled here. Get ready to dive into these stories, friends!
