From 'Sisters' Direct Delivery 3' to Kim Sook and Song Eun-yi's Jeju Abandoned House Remodeling 'Unpredictable (Home)'... tvN Reveals 2026 Variety Lineup

On the 12th, tvN revealed its 2026 variety lineup. From the return of proven seasonal variety shows to new challenges from top stars, the plan is to captivate viewers with diverse enjoyment.

The most eye-catching aspect is the variety outings of actors. Kim Tae-ri's one-of-a-kind after-school theater class 〈After School Teacher Tae-ri〉 is set to premiere on the 22nd, while Park Bo-gum's heartwarming healing variety show 〈Bo-gum Magical〉 is already receiving positive reviews and continuing its promotional activities.

New variety shows with differentiated concepts are also in the pipeline. The new project by PD Lee Woo-hyung, which deals with chefs' business survival, 〈Street Restaurant Fighter〉 (tentative title), and the stage of the members of 'Bbang Bbang Earth Arcade' expanding into a rice cake shop, 〈Cosmic Rice Cake Shop〉, are on the list. Additionally, Kim Sook and Song Eun-yi's Jeju abandoned house remodeling project 〈Unpredictable (Home)〉, and the unique cohabitation of same-age singles 〈Gugi-dong Friends〉 are expected to provide unpredictable fun.

The choral challenge featuring musical master Kim Moon-jung and children from various cultural backgrounds, 〈Ensemble〉, and the selection of the next generation style icons, 〈Kill It: Style Creator War〉 (tentative title), will also meet viewers. There is also anticipation for the new variety show by the trusted PD Na Young-seok, Egg Is Coming.

The return of popular series is also welcome. tvN's representative healing variety show, 〈Sisters' Direct Delivery〉, is back for its third season, delivering authenticity and emotion, while the series that has shown sincere challenges every season, 〈Iron Girl Group〉 Season 3, and the more meticulous fake-finding journey 〈Sixth Sense: City Tour〉 Season 3 are also expected to air in the second half of the year.

CJ ENM's Park Sang-hyuk, head of the media business unit, stated, "2026 will offer diverse enjoyment by listening to the changes in the market and the needs of 'tvN New Adult'," and added, "As we present the most self-planned and produced IPs based on a single platform, please look forward to it."
