Netflix has set December 1, 2026 as the premiere date for Trinity, an eight-episode drama series starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Richard Madden. The streamer also released first-look images and the first trailer for the series.
Why it matters
The date gives viewers a firm timeline for the series and signals Netflix's late-2026 slate for drama programming. The release follows the first trailer, which previews the show's tone and cast ahead of its debut.
The series consists of eight episodes, and Netflix has scheduled its premiere for December 1, 2026. The release schedule for individual episodes has not been detailed.
