The 2026 BLs I Am Most Excited For!
We are now into the second half of 2026! The first half of the year has had some truly incredible BLs, but I think these upcoming series are going to be even better:
1. Police in Love (th)
Airing: 2026 | 12 episodes
A police officer named Thiar (Yin) agrees to a six-month marriage with a junior sergeant named Mangkorn (War) to break a cursed horoscope. I’m SO happy YinWar (my all-time favourite cp) will be back on my screen this year and in a fake marriage action romcom! (Filming 60% done)
2. My Summer of You (jp)
Airing: 24 June | 10 episodes
Two highschoolers become friends due to their love of movies, when one confesses to the other, they try to remain friends, as they spend summer travelling to film locations together. This manga is so beloved, it sounds like the most beautiful little story and its starring Oku Tomoya who was my favourite part of Minato’s Laundromat! Yay!
3. You Maniac (th)
Airing: 2026 | 10 episodes
Two young "red flags," each in their own way, are complete opposites. But when they’re forced to fake a relationship, real feelings begin to grow between them. I love WilliamEst and I am so happy that they are doing something completely different, its going to be so fun and messy. Also, BarcodeKin as the side cp, I couldn’t be more excited (Filming Q18)
4. Nour (th)
Airing: august | ? episodes
A detective investigating mysterious arson attacks, crosses paths with a mysterious captain. As the two untangle supernatural secrets, they cross the dangerous line between life and death and spark a romance. From the Top Form team, adapted by Sammon and TongTong FINALLY leading a BL… I’m losing my mind!
5. A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream (cn)
Airing: 12 June | 16 episodes
A star at the peak of his career, retreats to the mountains in search of peace, where he meets a free-spirited young tea farmer. This is from the creator of Litchi Island, which is phenomenal, but she’s been given more budget and more episodes. This looks beautifully shot and written, but I’d expect nothing less from her.
6. Mr Fanboy (th)
Airing: 2026 | 12 episodes
When Wan (Save) gets a casting opportunity for a BL his idol is starring in, he meets Third (Auau), his idols ship partner. They clash immediately, but when Wan passes his audition, they are forced to work together. I love AuauSave and I love series about the entertainment industry, plus DMD and dir. Kla’s series are just getting better and better! (Filming Q16)
7. The Prosecutor’s Office’s Proposal (kr)
Airing: June | 8 episodes
A Prosecutor selects a failed police officer as his partner; to help investigate a murder case he’s been pursuing for years and proposes that he joins his team as an investigator under his own office. We were going through a KBL draught, but a lot are coming in the second half of the year and this director’s track record is 10/10.
8. The Edge of Horizon (th)
Airing: 20 June | 10 episodes
The deep and impossible love between a royal prince and a commoner, the commoner strives to rise through the ranks of the military so that he can stand by his prince’s side as a general. InnOngsa make a gorgeous pairing, and I am so excited for their debut as a cp. This is One31 so we know to expect ridiculous DRAMA, but I still have high hopes.
9. Class Crush Crisis (th)
Airing: 24 July | 8 episodes
Lee is sent to a new co-ed school after ignoring his studies, instead dreaming of becoming an indie rock musician. He immediately clashes with his studious roommate Putter, but as they grow closer Lee has to rethink his own rules on love. This is giving My School President vibes, it’s from a director I love and I’m such a sucker for high-school romances!
10. Oops! Mysterious Sounds (th)
Airing: September | ? episodes
Two enemies forced to fake date, become reluctant partners in the murder investigation of their friend, when they discover headphones that connect them to the afterlife. Will they discover the killer, or will they become his next victims? There’s a lot of going on here, but I hope it works. And this is ambitious as it’s the companies debut production!
11. Sekigae Shitara, Doyara Ushiro no Otoko ga Ore no Koto Sukirashii (jp)
Airing: 2026 | ? episodes
Translation: After Switching Seats, It Seems The Guy Behind Me Has A Crush On Me
During a routine classroom seat change, introverted Haru is shocked to be passed a confession note from the most popular guy in school. I know we’ve seen this story 100s of times, but I LOVE it every time! And this has Konishi Eito from Takara’s Treasure.
12. Be My Player Two (th)
Airing: 2026 | 10 episodes
Thi (Maxky), a top streamer, hunts down Zo (Bas), a mysterious gamer who defeats him. What begins as a hunt for a rival turns into a discovery of love. I am such a big MaxkyBas fan, their chemistry is crazy! And it’s been a while since we had a gaming BL. And I really liked Boss and A Babe from the same universe and director. (Filming: Q15)
13. Love Destiny (th)
Airing: 14 July | 10 episodes
A modern surgeon has an accident, he then winds up in the body of a man living in the past, despised by all. Unsuccessful in finding a way to return to the present, he must survive in the past and to win over the people around him. I love that we are getting a BL adaptation of such a famous lakorn and that I get to see Leng in another leading role!
14. Love³ (th)
Airing: 2026 | ? episodes
3 love stories in one and they all look adorable, from the Lovesick 2024 producers: 1. A love triangle of secret crushes and unrequited love (friends to lovers trope) | 2. The school president tries to woo his crush (cat and mouse trope) | 3. His long-time crush disappears and returns 4years later (second chance trope) (Filming: wrapped)
15. When the Light Fades (th)
Airing: 25 June | 10 episodes
In 1976, a young student steps into the tree line. There, he meets comrades in arms from Ban Saeng Dao. A bond is born, giving inspiration on the path of ideology. This is going to be either incredible, or bad. I’m really hoping it will be great, because it’s Bas first proper leading role!
I tried to order it most to least excited and not multiple series from the same production company or there would have been quite a few GMMTV, DMD and CHANGE series on here! There’s truly some awesome stuff coming!
