With the new year just around the corner, Thai drama fans are already counting down as January 2026 shapes up to be a packed and exciting month. From romance and fantasy to mystery, idol-driven stories, GL titles, and emotional franchises, the opening month of the year is stacked with variety.
This list includes a mix of officially announced premieres, strong insider rumours, and titles that were originally meant to air earlier but got pushed back. As always, schedules can change — even confirmed shows aren’t fully safe from last-minute delays — so consider this a living watchlist that will be updated once broadcasters lock things in.
Most Anticipated Thai Dramas and Series Coming in January 2026
Still, these are the Thai dramas with the strongest potential to land in January 2026, and fans are already buzzing.

Kicking off the year emotionally is the latest instalment of the long-running Club Friday franchise, Situationship.
Starring Ko Vasin and Punpun Sutatta, this season dives into modern relationship grey zones — the kind that sit somewhere between commitment and confusion.
Known for its raw storytelling and relatable themes, this new chapter is expected to deliver another round of intense feelings, messy emotions, and conversations viewers will definitely relate to.

Premieres: 15 January 2026 | True Visions Now | 8.00 PM
One of the most talked-about adaptations arriving this month is Missing, the Thai remake of the popular Korean drama Missing: The Other Side.
Early buzz suggests the Thai version won’t simply copy the original, but instead offer a fresh emotional tone and localised storytelling.

Expect mystery, heartfelt moments, and a narrative that slowly pulls viewers deeper with every episode.
4 Elements: The Earth
 |
Premieres: 24 January 2026 | Channel 7 | 8.30 PM
January also welcomes a new entry into the girls’ love genre with 4 Elements: The Earth.
Starring Apple Lapisara and Mim Panthita, this series has already gained attention thanks to its cast pairing and character-driven focus.
Blending romance with personal growth, this title is expected to appeal to viewers looking for warmth, emotional depth, and strong chemistry rather than fast-paced drama.
Tentative Titles & Delayed Projects to Watch
Several dramas on this list were initially planned for earlier months but ended up shifting into January. Others are still labelled tentative, based on crew hints or broadcaster scheduling patterns.
As always, any title marked tentative will be updated once official announcements drop via network channels. Until then, fans are keeping expectations flexible — because in Thai drama scheduling, anything can still move.
A Strong Start for Thai Dramas in 2026
January 2026 is shaping up to be a solid opening month, showing once again how diverse Thai television continues to be. Whether you’re in the mood for romance, emotional storytelling, mystery adaptations, or GL series, there’s plenty lined up to ease everyone into the new year.
