These are upcoming series for the rest of 2026 I am keeping track of… Apart from the BL series, there are also many other series that I love to watch, especially the British drama series as well as GBBO. A few years ago, before I discovered BL series, I basically watched a lot of British mystery and crime series, as well as some American comedy and drama series. Even after I started watching BL series, I still watched many of my favourite British and American shows. Now that September has arrived, many of these shows from the Northern Hemisphere are starting their new seasons and I just want to keep track of them here… This is because with so many BL series to keep track in the past year, I just cannot remember all the new series of these other shows that I love also, LOL… Looks like I have to put many of the BL series on the back burner for a while since these English series are my priorities in the coming weeks…

Update September 12, 2026: Below is a video I just found, it listed 8 of the British series that I love, obviously a few have finished airing for years now… I just couldn’t get into Whitstable Pearl a few years ago, and I dropped it. The only other series I haven’t watched but intended to is Ludwig which just finished airing season 2 recently… And yes, I was one of those who felt so frustrated that they cancelled Agatha Raisin (which is based on the novels by M.C. Beaton) and Rosemary & Thyme, LOL… By the way, Pam Ferris also starred in another one of my favourite cozy British series, the original adaptation of The Darling Buds of May, not to be confused with the remake The Larkins…
