Big Questions You’re Asking

Netflix Release Dates

Here you have it! 2026 Netflix release dates as they become available. I’ll update it every week. And I’ll share a few of my favorite TV streaming accessories:

• A big TV. I like the Roku streaming interface on TVs like this 55 inch Roku Pro Series, or this 55 inch TCL Class 4 (this one is a fantastic deal).

• I do not like watching TV without a blanket, and my favorites are from Vera Bradley’s fleece collections. Mostly known for their florals, they also have novelty prints, stripes, and even this amazing wearable plaid (obviously my favorite).

• Clearly we need snacks. I really like this Dash popcorn popper, and of course I put butter on my healthily popped corn. I did not forget chocolate (as if I could). My favorite fair trade bars come from Theo, which originated in Seattle. Check out this dark chocolate variety pack.

• We need to hydrate, my friends, especially when we watch an entire series in a weekend (no, it isn’t good but yes, I’ve done it). I got my first double-walled stainless steel water bottle this year and I love it. Cold stays cold, hot stays hot. And yes, we do need 32 ounces.

• Last item? A place to put our snacks, our phones, and whatever else we want to keep handy. Once I hit the couch, I want everything within reach. Now I do not have one of these, but I want one – they’re couch arm trays! I like both the small ones that drape over the arm and the larger ones that clip on. That is loafing luxury and I’m all for it.

Are you wondering if those are all affiliate links? Yes, yes they are.
