New Titles Arriving On Netflix In January 2026

The new year is finally here and the streaming giant is wasting no time delivering massive hits to subscribers. January is often a quiet month for movie theaters but Netflix has stacked the schedule with returning favorites and star power. Subscribers can expect a heavy dose of romance along with intense thrillers to kick off 2026 properly. Whether you are looking for a cozy book adaptation or a gritty crime drama there is something for everyone this month.

The biggest headline for many fans is the return of the Regency era juggernaut ‘Bridgerton’. The fourth season puts the focus on Benedict who is played by Luke Thompson as he searches for his own love match. Viewers will have to wait until late in the month for this premiere but it promises to be worth the anticipation. This season follows the formula of previous entries by adapting the beloved novels with a fresh visual flair.

Action fans have a major release to mark on their calendars with ‘The Rip’ arriving mid-month. This crime thriller reunites longtime collaborators Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in a tense story about a heist gone wrong. The plot centers on a team of officers who discover a massive stash of money that puts them in immediate danger. It serves as one of the most significant original film releases for the platform in quite some time.

Another highly anticipated limited series dropping this month is ‘His & Hers’. The show stars Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal in a psychological thriller based on the novel by Alice Feeney. The story follows a journalist and a detective who are unwillingly paired together to solve a murder case in Atlanta. Their complex history adds layers of tension to an already twisting narrative that will keep viewers guessing.

Romance lovers can look forward to the film adaptation of ‘People We Meet on Vacation’ by Emily Henry. Emily Bader and Tom Blyth star as two best friends who take annual summer trips together despite their opposite personalities. The movie explores their relationship dynamics as they try to fix a fractured bond during one last getaway. It is poised to be the next big romantic comedy hit for the service following previous successes in the genre.

There are also plenty of classic library titles being added to the rotation to start the year fresh. High profile movies like ‘Dune’ and ’12 Years a Slave’ are now available for streaming along with animated favorites like ‘Despicable Me’. Horror fans can revisit the dawn of the zombie apocalypse in Zack Snyder’s ‘Dawn of the Dead’. This mix of licensed content ensures that your watchlist will remain full even between the major original releases.
