Netflix is starting 2026 with an extensive slate of new releases and returning favourites, offering subscribers a packed January that spans prestige dramas, reality series, live sports entertainment, and a deep library of films.
The month’s headline release is Season 4 of Bridgerton, one of Netflix’s most-watched global franchises. The first volume of the new season will debut on January 29, with the second half scheduled to follow on February 26, 2026. The return of the Regency-era drama is expected to anchor Netflix’s early-year viewership.
Another major original debut arrives earlier in the month. On January 8, Netflix will premiere “His & Hers,” a psychological thriller adapted from Alice Feeney’s novel. The series follows two estranged spouses—a detective and a journalist—who are forced back into each other’s lives when a disturbing murder shakes their hometown in Georgia. The show is positioned as one of Netflix’s key new scripted offerings for the winter season.
Beyond originals, Netflix is reinforcing its catalog with a large influx of licensed films and series. January will see the return of popular movie titles such as Dune, Pitch Perfect, District 9, 12 Years a Slave, and Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, alongside family-friendly staples including Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2. Several long-running television series, including Falling Skies, Southland, Rizzoli & Isles, and Veronica Mars, will also become available in full-season bundles.
Reality and unscripted programming continues to play a major role in the platform’s strategy. New and returning seasons of shows like Love Is Blind: Germany, Unlocked: A Jail Experiment, and The Upshaws are spread throughout the month. Netflix is also maintaining its growing relationship with WWE, with weekly “Monday Night Raw: 2026” episodes streaming on multiple dates in January, alongside the second season of WWE: Unreal.
Animation and international content round out the schedule, with new entries such as Pokémon Horizons Season 3 – Rising Hope Part 1, Korean titles including No Tail to Tell, and global series like Alpha Males and The Queen of Flow returning with new seasons.
