What's New On Netflix In January 2026? 11 Top Best TV Shows And Films To Stream |
A look ahead to what we'll be watching on Netflix this January
January basically means you’re duty-bound to do nothing but work on your sofa imprint, and squeeze in as much telly as possible until your social battery (and bank account) are replenished after being drained all festive season long.
