GMMTV UNVEILS 2026 SERIES LINEUP

Thailand’s leading content provider GMMTV closed out 2025 with the kind of spectacle only they can pull off. At Union Hall in Bangkok, the studio unveiled its 2026 slate under the banner “Magic Vibes Maximized,” introducing a flood of new titles. Within minutes, #GMMTV2026 shot to No. 1 worldwide on X, a reminder of just how global the studio’s reach has become.

This year’s showcase had a different energy as the company CEO, Sathaporn Panichraksapong, introduced the show. The company has spent the last few years shaping Thailand’s soft power through youth dramas and fandom-driven storytelling and now, they’re expanding that universe. The 2026 lineup leans bigger and more ambitious, with prestige remakes, star-packed ensemble dramas, and new genre swings that push into action, thriller, romance, fantasy, and even musical theater. And yes, the mascots have their own expansion plan, too.

Below are some standouts, the titles fans were buzzing about, and the ones that are primed to tug at your heartstrings and become your next obsession.

The Heavy Hitters

Scarlet Heart Thailand

One of the showcase’s loudest moments came with the official trailer reveal of Scarlet Heart Thailand, a new adaptation of Tong Hua’s beloved historical fantasy. Led by Tu Tontawan, Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn, Tay Tawan Vihokratana, Fourth Nattawat, Nanon Korapat, Phuwin Tangsakyuen, and a sweeping ensemble, this is positioned as one of GMMTV’s prestige offerings of 2026. Director Kanittha Kwanyu helms the project, and the early visuals alone were enough to ignite international fandoms.

HiGH & LOW: BORN TO be HIGH

In a surprise closing announcement, GMMTV confirmed an official partnership with Japan’s HI-AX and Parbdee Tawesuk to adapt the hit HiGH&LOW action universe for Thailand. Titled BORN TO be HIGH, the series unites top names from across the GMMTV roster including Sky Wongravee, Sea Tawinan, Perth Tanapon, Mark Pakin, Khaotung Thanawat, Nanon Korapat, Pond Naravit, Ohm Thitiwat, Nani Hirunkit, Winny Thanawin, Joss Way-ar, Barcode Tinnasit, and more. Slated for 2027, the project marks a significant expansion of GMMTV’s action programming and one of their largest-scale international adaptations to date.

The Love of Siam: The Musical

A landmark moment for GMMTV: their first-ever musical, adapted from the modern classic Love of Siam. Starring Gemini Norawit and Fourth Nattawat, the musical will reimagine the beloved story in a live performance format. And already hiding from audience reaction, this is poised to be one of the biggest projects in GMMTV history.

GL in the Spotlight

One of the most noticeable shifts in this year’s lineup is GMMTV’s clear, intentional investment in GL (Girls Love) storytelling. Historically, the studio’s annual slates have leaned heavily toward BL, with GL titles often appearing in smaller numbers. This year marks a meaningful change with GMMTV not only introducing more GL titles, but doing so with visible budget and strong marquee talent. Series like Ditto, Bake Love Feeling, and Wish Upon a Star signal a shift toward broader representation and a deeper commitment to building narratives around women’s relationships with the same care and ambition the studio brings to its flagship BL dramas.

Ditto

Milk Pansa and Love Pattranite return as a pair in Ditto, a series about two women named Rafah who cross unlikely paths. Milk plays a flight attendant who has lost her job, while Love plays a ballerina whose broken leg has halted her dreams of dancing. Although both women have fallen from grace in their fields, they come together and help each other up along the way. Milk and Love are joined by Piploy Kanyarat, Ciize Rutricha, and Earn Preeyaphat to round out the cast. The series is adapted from the novel Ditto: Rafah, Fallen from Heaven, and is directed by Tle Tawan and Arisa Wawwanjit.

Moonshadow

GMMTV promises complex relationships and steamy scenes with Moonshadow. Starring Emi Thasorn and Bonnie Pattraphus, the series is about a young woman named Jan who has closed her heart off after a breakup. When she has a one-night stand with a singer named Key, Jan must confront new feelings as their relationship blossoms. When Jan’s ex-girlfriend, played by Film Rachanun, comes back into her life, both Jan and Key must decide on what they want and what they will fight for. Adapted from the novel Moon Shadow and directed by Fon Kanittha, Moonshadow leaves fans of Emi and Bonnie eagerly awaiting its release. 

Enemies With Benefits

Fans of office romance will want to tune into Enemies With Benefits, starring Jan Ployshompoo and JingJing Yu. Two office enemies enter into a friends-with-benefits arrangement after a fateful encounter and must keep it a secret while still butting heads in the office. The ensemble cast is full of familiar faces for avid GMMTV viewers like Ciize Rutricha, Kapook Ploynira, JJ Chayakorn, and more. The series is adapted from a web novel of the same name and directed by Tle Tawan and Arisa Wawwanjit.

BL For The Ages

BL remains one of GMMTV’s strongest pillars, and the 2026 slate reflects a studio refining its approach to the genre. This year’s selections span rom-coms, darker psychological dramas, and more self-aware takes on modern relationships, pairing established fan favorites with narratives with their expanding global audience in mind. The lineup ranges far and wide, moving from low-stakes first-love stories to more serious explorations of adulthood and identity, including a coming-of-age series centered on a character living with HIV.

You Maniac

Starring LYKN’s William Jakrapatr and Est Supha, You Maniac quickly emerged as one of the most anticipated BL series of 2026. Two self-aware “red flags” enter a fake relationship for their own reasons, only to find the emotional lines blurring faster than expected in an opposites attract dynamic. The show’s teaser trailer surpassed 1 million views within 24 hours, signaling strong international interest well ahead of its release.

I Will Always Save You

Jimmy Jitaraphol and Sea Tawinan step into unfamiliar territory with this action-leaning romantic comedy. When a police officer is assigned to protect a singer he can’t stand, resentment slowly gives way to something more complicated. The series marks a tonal shift for the pair, giving them space to explore humor and vulnerability in a new way.

Gunshot

Gunshot pushes into darker emotional terrain for GMMTV staples Off Jumpol and Gun Atthaphan, who reunite in a revenge-driven drama about loss, grief, and obsession. After losing the love of his life, one man spirals into vengeance while a police officer tries to pull him back from the edge. The series promises intensity and moral ambiguity which is territory the pair hasn’t fully explored together before.

For Action, Thriller, and Fantasy Lovers

For viewers craving higher stakes, darker themes, and genre-forward storytelling, GMMTV’s 2026 slate delivers some of its boldest swings yet. These series move beyond comfort zones, blending action, crime, and fantasy with emotional grounding. Many also place familiar actors in unfamiliar roles, signaling a willingness to let talent grow alongside audience expectations.

The Spooky Love Tale

GMMTV mixes horror and comedy in this tale starring Perth Tanapon and Santa Pongsapak. Horror novelist Chan coincidentally meets devoted horror reader Min when they see the same ghost – the ghost from Chan’s novel. They soon discover that the ghosts disappear when they are together, drawing them closer and closer. Mond Tanutchai and Ryu Phudtripart join the cast as the side couple of the series. Adapted from the Korean webtoon The Spooky Love Tale of Gongchan Seol, this series promises scares and laughs alike!

Cupid’s Ghost

Staple couple Earth Pirapat and Mix Sahaphap are back with the supernatural comedy Cupid’s Ghost. Earth stars as a funeral director named Jett who enlists the help of florist Phut to communicate with his recently deceased clients. Phut is initially reluctant due to his fear of ghosts, but eventually agrees. As they grow closer, they must confront love and loss, with a few ghost hijinks along the way. Earth and Mix are joined by Ohm Thitiwat, Poon Mitpakdee, and GMMTV newcomer Pun Poon Sutarom. 

The Invisible Dragon

Popular pairing First Kanaphan and Khaotung Thanawat team up again for The Invisible Dragon, a grounded story about lion dancers with a supernatural flair directed by Ja Yossinee. Khaotung plays Khun, a lion dancer eager to prove his worth and dance as the lion’s head. First plays Earn, a talented lion dancer who must keep his family’s dragon legacy alive despite having no shared blood. As the two bond through dancing, Earn must decide if his family’s expectations or his heart matter more. Namtan Tipnaree, Bright Rapheephong, and veteran actor Chai Chatayodom join as the supporting cast.  

Mr. Kill

Crime thriller series Mr. Kill partners Dew Jirawat and Tee Teeradej for the first time on screen. “Mr. Kill” (Dew) is a manga artist whose art reflects ongoing murder cases that a detective (Tee) is investigating. “Mr. Kill” claims innocence, but the detective handcuffs them together so he won’t be out of sight. Although they begin to investigate together, things aren’t what they seem as they attempt to uncover who is behind it all. Mr. Kill will be directed by Chic Sakon.

Romance & Coming-of-Age

GMMTV’s bread and butter remains heartfelt relationship stories and the kind of school-era or early-20s coming-of-age narratives that have shaped its global identity. Even with the slate’s bigger swings into action, fantasy, and thriller territory, the studio hasn’t abandoned the warm, character-driven romances that first pulled audiences in. The 2026 lineup includes a wide spread of campus dramas and gentle, healing stories, designed to resonate with younger viewers while still hitting that universal emotional note GMMTV is known for.

Kiss Me, Remember?

Starring Barcode Tinnasit and Kin Thanachai in their first paired role together and directed by Sappachit Wongwiset, Kiss Me, Remember? follows a young man who loses his memory after a near-death accident. He begins to recover fragments of his past through an unexpected trigger: kissing the person who saved him. As the two grow closer, what started as a means of slowly remembering gets complicated into something more intimate.

Good Boy Series

Good Boy Series is a second-chance, coming-of-age romance that follows a man who dies at 30 only to wake up in his teenage body. Determined to live his life differently this time, he navigates high school friendships, and love with the clarity of hindsight and the uncertainty of living in the moment during your youth.

Weirdo-101

Set in a school environment, Weirdo-101 pairs opposites in a quiet, slow-burn story about unexpected closeness. When a popular student grows closer to the school’s resident weirdo, their lives begin to intertwine in ways they neither anticipated. 

Music and More

Beyond the series announcements, GMMTV also used the showcase to underline how much its entertainment ecosystem has expanded. Music and performance have always been part of the company’s DNA, but the 2026 slate position it to be a major vehicle of growth for the company. 

Boy group LYKN remains at the center of that strategy. Following their breakout year, the group will roll out a second album, headline a third major concert, and take their “Dusk & Dawn World Tour” to 18 cities worldwide. On top of that, GMMTV confirmed Project Alpha New Clan, a fresh chapter of its idol-development program that originally introduced LYKN to the public.

The company’s 2026 plans aren’t just benefit their artists either. GMMTV also unveiled Fanarium, the studio’s first large-scale interactive fandom game set to launch in mid-2026. Built around its beloved mascots, Fanarium marks a new push into gamified fan engagement and digital collectibles, an extension of the studio’s soft-power strategy that has already translated into real commercial momentum. The mascots themselves now operate almost like a separate talent division, with brand partnerships, weekend TikTok programming, and a dedicated management team overseeing their growing footprint.

Stars on the Rise

Another clear through line in the 2026 slate is GMMTV’s continued investment in new talent. Alongside household names anchoring prestige projects, a wave of rising actors — many appearing in their first major roles — are positioned to break out next year.

Several of the studio’s coming-of-age and romance titles introduce newer pairings to a wider audience. Luke Phimsan and Mick Metas, who first appeared together in Boys in Love (2025), return as leads in Good Boy Series, marking a step up in visibility for both actors. Similarly, Weirdo-101 places Sea Dechchart and Keen Suvijak at the center of a school-set drama, positioning the duo as one of the slate’s promising new pairings.

On the GL side, Oxytoxin introduces a group of five emerging actresses, Waifha Chonitsiri, Tonkhao Nontakarn, Yogurt Yosita, Pang Sapsima, and Benz Jittanan, which signals GMMTV’s interest in building new female-led ensembles from the ground up.

Meanwhile, When Oranges Fall spotlights Almond Phumisuwan and Progress Phaswich as a rising duo, giving both actors their most prominent roles to date. In 17th Spring, Chokun Puttipong and Aston Ratiphat front a sensitive, youth-driven story, positioning both as names to watch within GMMTV’s next wave of teen-focused storytelling.

What To Watch Now

As with every GMMTV showcase, the full slate will begin rolling out across 2026, with premiere dates announced title by title as productions wrap. All series will stream on GMMTV’s official YouTube channel and on designated broadcast partners or platforms like iQIYI and Netflix. While we wait, fans can tune into currently airing 2025 GMMTV series like Friendshit Forever and Me & Thee on YouTube, Burnout Syndrome on iQIYI, and Dare You To Death internationally on Netflix, with several others set to air shortly.
