We’re just 10 days into the month of December, but in order to get out ahead of the busy holiday season, Netflix is getting a very early start on planning for January. On Wednesday morning, Netflix releases its monthly newsletter for January 2026, revealing the complete lineup of movies, TV shows, and specials being added to the service over the course of the month.

There are a lot of big movie and TV additions at the start of January, but the two titles worth paying the most attention to are originals that will arrive a couple of weeks later. On January 16th, Netflix will debut the new action film The Rip, which stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
At the end of the month, on January 29th, Netflix is slated to release the highly anticipated fourth season of hit series Bridgerton. This release is just the first part of the new season, so more episodes will follow at a later date.
