The decade is about to come to an end, and Netflix is already looking ahead to 2020. Each month, usually around the 20th or so, Netflix unveils a list of every movie and TV show coming to the service in the next month. This time around, with the holidays and new year looming, the streaming giant decided to celebrate the turning of the page just a little early. The list of new Netflix additions was released to the public on Wednesday morning, and there are quite a lot of titles worth paying attention to.

From an originals standpoint, January 2020 will likely be known as the month when the Netflix shows ended. The service is obviously putting out more content than ever before, so there will still be plenty of originals on the horizon, in addition to all of the shows currently airing. But there are three major Netflix originals that have been considered mainstays over the last few years all coming to an end in January.
The final seasons of BoJack Horseman, The Ranch, and Grace and Frankie are all set to be released in January, really closing a chapter in the history of Netflix originals. There are plenty of brand new shows launching that will hopefully take their place in the pantheon of popular Netflix projects, but seeing the end of all of these titles arriving at the same time is a bit difficult for fans.
You can check out all of the new releases coming to Netflix next month in the list below!
