It’s a new year! A new decade! And with all of that newness and change comes a brand new slew of binge-worthy TV shows on Netflix for January 2020. Oh, you swore you’d spend less time on the couch and more time being active outside of the house? Not anymore, sorry.
You can kiss your New Year’s resolution goodbye because Netflix has penciled itself into each and every one of your nights for the next month or so.
Luckily, you won’t be assaulted with December’s deluge of crappy, B-rate (what, it’s TRUE!) holiday films. Instead, you’ll get LOTS of cool, older stuff like Inception (for those late, existential nights) and brand new seasons of favorites like Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Part 3 (for you nostalgic witches out there).
There is also a whole slew of new Netflix originals and films, like The Circle (a reality show that utilizes social media) and Giri / Haji.
Here’s everything coming to Netflix in January 2020:
