This New Year, for the first time in the show’s history, EastEnders is set to air an entire flashforward episode which will offer viewers a unique glimpse into the drama that is set to unfold in 2026 and beyond…

In a 30-minute instalment on New Year’s Day, viewers will follow Max Branning exactly a year on from present day as he finds himself in a situation which will have huge consequences for not only himself, but also his family…
In typical Branning fashion, Max finds himself at the epicentre of the drama, and with multiple situations unfolding at once, it becomes clear that 2026 has many secrets waiting to be discovered, and a whole heap of trouble that would be hard for any one person to talk themselves out of…
Whilst flashing forward to 2027, the episode will provide tantalising clues about what the future holds for Max, and those around him over the course of the year…
Ben Wadey, EastEnders Executive Producer said: “For the first time in the show’s history, we’re going to be offering our viewers an entire flashforward episode set on New Year’s Day 2027. 2026 is going to be full of drama in Walford, especially for the Brannings, and the episode is sure to raise plenty of questions on how Max has got himself, and his family, into such predicaments, but all is not what it seems, so stay tuned for 2026 to find out how and why…”
The EastEnders flashforward episode will transmit on New Year’s Day 2026.
