Netflix in January: What’s Coming and What to Watch Before It’s Gone (Photos)
Here are our highlights for January on Netflix, from original programming to freshly added film titles. Plus, what to re-watch before it leaves Netflix.
Available January 1: “Wedding Crashers”
This movie is the reason “crashing a wedding” is on everyone’s Tindr bucket list and why they crashed a wedding on The Bachelor that one time. It’s hilarious, and perfect for watching with your pals during your post-New Year’s Eve hangover.
Available January 1: “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”
Did the Oompa Loompas freak out anyone else as a child? Just me? Ok. Well, Netflix has your Golden Ticket to the magical (and creepy) candy-filled world of Willy Wonka on the first of the year.
Available January 16: “Dallas Buyers Club”
Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto both won Oscars for their performance in this 2014 film about AIDS and an unlikely friendship.
Available January 19: “Grace and Frankie” Season 4
Lisa Kudrow joins the cast as third wheel Sheree for the fourth season of the Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin comedy. How will the titular friendship weather challenges brought on by the new addition?
Available January 26: “One Day at a Time” Season 2
This rollicking reboot of the Norman Lear sit-com that originally aired from 1975-1984 is getting its second season on Netflix. The first season was met with critical praise for its take on Cuban-American identity and other hot topics.
Leaving January 1: “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial”
Your favorite little alien is phoning home for real this time. Cry to the cutest relationship between a, well, an extra-terrestrial and a kid one more time before Spielberg’s classic leaves the platform on the first of the month.
Leaving January 1: “Forrest Gump”
One of Tom Hanks’ most recognizable roles ever, but Netflix shouted “Run Forrest, run!” and he took it a little too seriously, running right out of our streaming sights.
Leaving January 1: “Mean Girls”
Netflix finally broke down and decided to stop trying to make “fetch” happen. You can add the streaming service to your Burn Book for the move.
Leaving January 1: “Grease”
Sandy and Danny rode off into the sunset in their flying car, and are continuing to fly right off the Netflix screen. We’re writing a song called “Netflix Drop-Out.”
Leaving January 4: “Lost” Season 1-6
Why, oh why, are the television gods taking “Lost” away from us? The show that paved the way for all your fan theory rabbit holes is leaving January 4, so binge as much as you can in the next few weeks.
