I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • Bookmakers price One Direction at 8/1 to reunite in 2026
  • Zayn Malik & Louis Tomlinson filming Netflix road trip show across the US
  • Market gives just 11.1% chance of reunion announcement next year

Netflix Show Sparks 2026 Speculation

Speculation about a One Direction reunion is building again after news that Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik are teaming up for a multi-million-pound Netflix documentary series.

Betting Sites, however, remain cautious pricing the chances of a 2026 reunion announcement at 8/1, which gives the band just an 11.1% implied probability of officially reforming next year.

Filming has already begun on the Netflix project, which sees Tomlinson and Malik travel across the US together in a road trip-style documentary.

The series is expected to drop in 2026, marking exactly 10 years since One Direction’s split and will see the pair reflect on their solo careers, life in the band, and the tragic passing of Liam Payne.

This documentary has only added fuel to the speculation that the surviving members could reunite, particularly as fans interpret the collaboration as a sign of renewed closeness.

Band Members Plans in 2026

Beyond the Netflix series, all members will remain in the public eye next year:

  • Zayn Malik – week-long Las Vegas residency confirmed for early 2026.
  • Louis Tomlinson – UK tour dates on sale next week.
  • Harry Styles – global superstar with ongoing projects.
  • Niall Horan – continuing solo touring schedule.

The tragic passing of Liam Payne last October has also brought the band closer together, with the Netflix project set to touch on Payne’s life and legacy.

Betting Sites Cautious

Despite all the activity, bookmakers still see a reunion as unlikely in the immediate term. 

Odds of 8/1 place it firmly in outsider territory, suggesting punters should expect more long-term speculation rather than an imminent announcement.

What the expert says...
The Netflix show is the clearest sign yet that the band members are open to revisiting their past. While 2026 might be too soon for a full reunion, it’s no coincidence this series is timed for the 10-year anniversary.

What Happens Now

The release of the Netflix documentary in 2026 is likely to push reunion speculation into overdrive. 

Should other members hint at involvement, bookmakers may cut the odds quickly.

For now, though, 8/1 suggests that while fans can dream, the official One Direction comeback may still be further away.
